Can´t select multiple untils when playing C&C RTS games from Origin

When I launch any of the C&C gams through origin I am unable to select multiple units. I tried different games and it´s the same. The drag and select does not work for me. I am using a left handed mouse setup and when changing to right handed setup the drag and select works. But being left handed makes it very challenging to play the game that way. I remember that this was not always the case when playing from Origin so Im wondering if there is a fix for this?

@Vikarinn I think using a left or righthanded mouse shouldn't matter at all. Are you sure your mouse is configured correctly? Can you give me the name/type of the mouse you're using?

Hi,
I´m using razer naga 2014 left handed edition. After reading your answer I hooked up another Razer Naga mouse, Razer Abyssus 1800 and with that one the drag and select works as it should with both right hand and left handed setup in settings. The issue seems to be contained ot the purely left handed mouse.
Thanks for the answer 🙂

@Vikarinn Now we know your mouse is the cause of your problems. Are you sure you installed the latest software and firmware from Razer for your mouse?

@mrtnptrs Yes, I checked for update for both mice. The 2014 left handed edition was up to date while there were new updates avilable for the other one.

@Vikarinn Then maybe try to reset the mouses settings. Otherwise I would be out of ideas.

No, actually, if I remember correctly, lefthanded mice are indeed known to cause issues on some of the older games.

@Vikarinn

These games have changed a lot over the years though, and some later ones are on completely different game engines than the older ones, so "X happens on all games" is generally just plain false. Exactly which games did you try and did you have this issue with?

@Nyerguds Sorry, didn't know that, thought it didn't matter. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
