Sorry, I can just not get it done. It's such a sluggish way of aiming, and yes I've changed the mouse controls, and tried them on several variations, and it's still not easy to aim. And by not easy, I mean, practically impossible for me to aim using the mouse. I might have to just give up. The other problem I've noticed is that whenever there's a few monsters in the area, the tracking of the video seems jumpy, and disjointed like it's not running smoothly. I can pretty much shoot Imps without the mouse, if I just leave the aim point centered, but not when I can't move smoothly. I bought this computer last summer--the game came out in , what, 2004, right? A computer three years older than the game should be able to track smoothly right? And now with the Lost Souls, I can't even see the fricking things, I'm getting bumped around so much. I couldn't shoot lost souls easily in doom2 either, but at least I could move out of their damn way then. Now with the tracking difficulty...I just can't get it done.

And also, maybe the sensitivity is too high? > I might have to just give up.

I bought this > computer last summer--the game came out in , what, 2004, right? A > computer three years older than the game should be able to track > smoothly right? Not neccessarily. You shoud have at least 128 MB RAM on your graphic card and it should be something like Nvidia 6600 or maybe ATI 9800Pro, not sure. Also there are some very useful tweaks of the original configuration that everybody seams to have used in the early days. You should find a site with those tweaks. I remember there was a shadow feature that turned off speeds the game up for like 10 frames. > And now with the Lost Souls, I can't even see the fricking things, I'm > getting bumped around so much.

Also try setting mouse sensitivity. That way the mouse cursor will move much faster ! ;) You can turn much faster that way than using the keyboard ! ;) Bye, Skybuck.
