Mass Effect 1 Unable to get the mouse to work properly
Just reinstalled Mass Effect 1 after not having played it in roughly 10 months. Both dlc's installed. No major system or hardware changes since before, I was on windows 8.1 before and still am now. This is from steam.
The problem is while I'm able to move the cursor around on the menu screen's all fine it won't allow me to actually click anything (bar on the first screen saying hit any button to continue it works then). In-game I cannot turn the camera, I am able to zoom and shoot but otherwise thats it.
I have uninstalled removed all config files etc. reinstalled still had the same problem. I have no game pads or controllers plugged into my usb ports (I do have a printer, mp3 player connectors and my external hd connected along with mouse)
I can't get my head around it I'm currently installing from origin to see if that makes a difference and after that I'll try compatibility settings but otherwise I'm totally stumped as too what the problem is.
(I'll also note that steam in-game wasn't working so that maybe something else I should check)
Any ideas tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
edit: Same issue as the steam install as the origin one, it did display that the origin ingame popup unlike steam but that wouldn't work. Tried running with both versions with steam/origin ingame disabled still the same problem, compatibility still has the same problem. I am now officially out of ideas.
@i148qatd Have you tried forcing Origin to quit after launching the game? (Use Alt-TAB to minimize the game first so that you can access the Origin window and exit it). After doing that, do you find that the game now responds to mouse inputs? This is the only way I can play. It suggests to me that the problem is entirely with Origin; it appears to be capturing all mouse inputs even though the game has focus. I hate having to do this extra step; Origin is no longer syncing my saves as I play, nor is it tracking the number of hours that I've played. Plus the game seems slightly choppier with the connection to Origin severed. I've submitted this as a bug 3 times via the Send Error Report feature, but have received no response from them.
