Did you try already using another mouse, most times this behavior is caused by a broken mouse.

What also could help is to check the tracker eye that scans the surface, so turn it around and check that little hole with led or laser for stuff that shouldn’t be there.
Sometimes dirt or hair get stuck disrupting it’s normal operation.

If that all doesn’t help, check if your table or desk is laser leveled. Just kidding.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried two other optical mice and it is the same issue. However, I see the same thing with C&C Remastered so I believe it is a driver / OS issue. Good suggestion.

If it’s a laptop also check your touchpad.

It is a custom tower and my main mouse is a Razer Death Adder. Everything was fine two days ago. I see the issue in two games but not all. The plot thickens, I guess.

Yep, very weird.

Do you have other USB devices installed, like steering wheel, joystick or gamepads?

It must be something that interferes someway somehow with the mouse steering.

Could be driver related as well. Are there optional Windows updates available?

Got it. Having my PS4 controller plugged in at the same time causes the mouse to drift but only in games where the mouse is preferred or the only realistic option (mouse does not drift when loading Halo MCC) but it does drift in C&C Remastered and Age.

Well, problem solved with work around. Unplugging the PS4 controller.

I had this issue long time ago already with my MS Force Feedback steering wheel. :wink:

ask them next time to pause the game then try the mouse cursor… for me with game paused the mouse cursor moved fine. i got this in a 2nd game. game 1 i couldnt place a church but game worked fine otherwise, it kept subtracting cost but not building and it was open space…about 4 mins later after mentioning in chat the church then placed.i have feeling i was messed with by 1 of the players as someone was kind enough i thought to indicate relic near my base for me and then that with the church and i went to same host for game 2.
