cant look around in tf2, mouse frozen in one direction.
any server i join when i try to look around i can't, i can only see whatever direction i spawn in. I can move with wasd just fine, but i cant look around at all. its been going on like this for a while now, and I've tried other servers, dying, and some console actions, but none of it worked. when i am at the menu, the mouse works fine, but not when I'm playing. What's going on with it?

edit: i am actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I haven't been able to play this game for years and I finally found out what was wrong. who would have thought that 2 years ago, i consciously thought "hey, why don't I turn my mouse sensitivity to zero?" for some unknown reason, that was what i did, unless it did it by itself or something, i don't know why it would have. who turns their mouse sensitivity to zero for no reason? i don't remember doing it, but i must have. i am actually autistic. thank you all for your time anyhow

Your mouse works outside the game?

Not a gaming mouse I'm guessing?

A gaming mouse is essentially a desktop mouse with additional functions to make it suited to computer gaming and high intensity programming. These functions often include programmable buttons, higher sensitivity, adjustable weight and faster response times. http://www.ebuyer.com/blog/2014/07/what-is-a-gaming-mouse/

yes it works just fine even in the menu of the game when you choose the gamemode it works fine but as soon as the actual game loads i cant look around. It even works when you pause it during the game but not when you try to look around.

Problem is that your mouse isn't from America.

This happened to me on my Mac with source games all the time. I usually had to shut the computer all the way down, then turn it on again for it to work.
