Mouse Wheel Problem

[forgottenlance]

When reading documents, it says use mouse wheel to scroll but it doesn't work. I am using Microsoft Wireless 2000 and I don't have any problems in other games.

There's no fix for this. If you wanna read a document, carefully scroll the mousewheel without moving the mouse itself as the document opens.

I just tested what you said and it worked for me. Thanks.

Or just use the up and down arrow keys :)

Doesn't work. The PageUp/PageDown keys do work however and I prefer it to carefully using the mouse wheel as I always end up bumping the mouse itself. Just like the mousewheel trick described by Lazy Dane make sure you do not move the mouse at all or it wont work. Hopefully they release a small patch to fix this issue.

Hmm I'm pretty sure I could always use the arrow keys, or perhaps I also used Page Up/Page Down, I can't remember :D Well in any case, keyboard keys worked fine, there's no rush or anything reading those documents.

By the way, I checked again and the up and down arrow keys do indeed work for me. But since this game seems strangely programmed (and/or ported) I guess it's buggy for some and not for others. I said "strangely programmed" because sometimes the game is very laggy when I start it up and other times it runs buttersmooth... Sometimes when it's laggy and I ALT-TAB and go back in the game becomes buttersmooth :D It's weird.

Well, Mouse wheel, Arrow buttons, PnUp/PgDown, NOTHING work if you look documents from Archive. Very stupid bug and realy pity to see bad console port once again.

Unless you are having a more severe issue it does work, you simply can't move the mouse when you go into the archives. The moment you move the mouse it prevents the buttons from working and you can't scroll up or down no matter what. Escape out of the archives back into the game, leave the mouse sitting still and try and navigate back into the Archives again with just the keyboard.

I should also point out that when I said the arrow keys don't work I mean for scrolling the actual document files. I can SWITCH documents with the arrow keys, I just cant scroll the text of individual documents up or down with the arrow keys, just Page up/Page down or mouse wheel.
