Mouse Issues while using a wheel

[Bacon]

This needs to be fixed asap, While i have my wheel enabled i cant move my mouse it just snaps back to the middle of the screen.. VERY Annoying when trying to winch, Anyone else had this problem?

Same problem here, Can't even work in the menus.

[boss0r]

Me too. I use a Thrustmaster T300RS Racing Wheel with updated firmware and drivers.

I have the same problem with joystick: Logitech WingMan Digital 3D.
I cannot do anything in the menu. The game is completely unplayable with this bug.
It should be fixed as soon as possible.

Some additional info:
I think, it is because, wheel or joystick have a non constant values of axis, even when user doesn't touch those devices. The game detects this axis velue changes, and assumes that user wants to use wheel / joystick, not mouse, as a current controller in a main menu.

Same problem here. Got through the tutorial, then changed the controller, and now I can't navigate through the menus. Can't find the file that contains the controller preferences, so I can't even fire up the game. Huge disappointment, plain and simple.

Having (almost) no problems with the G27.

however..

I did notice that if in the menus and I turn the wheel even slightly the mouse will snap to the middle of the screen, but as long as I'm not turning the wheel in the menus there is no problem for me.

I tried various things in hopes I can re-produce what is happening to others to find a fix but nothing is causing it to go hay-wire for me:

Tried (with & without) an X-box controller plugged in.
Tried un-ticking Primary on the wheel.

Hi all!

Lots of players have been asking what kind of support for wheels **Spintires: MudRunner** will have. We’ve decided to take this opportunity to let you know exactly how we will be supporting wheels in the game.

First off, let’s start with the steering wheels that will be **officially** supported on PC.

These are:

• Logitech G920 + Driving Force Shifter
  
• Logitech G29 + Driving Force Shifter
  
• Thrustmaster T300
  
• Logitech G27 Steering Wheel
  
• Logitech G Saitek Farming Sim

The drivers for the wheels that need them are listed below:

• Logitech G920 + Driving Force Shifter : http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g920-driving-force/downloads
  
• Logitech G27 : http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g27-racing-wheel/downloads
  
• Logitech G29 + Driving Force Shifter : http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g29-driving-force/downloads

All of these wheels have been officially tested and will be detected by the game, as well as have official presets for their control schemes. In order to get optimal use of these, you’ll want to rebound inputs through the game’s settings.

Any other wheels should work with Spintires: MudRunner, provided you have the correct drivers installed, but we don’t currently officially support them.

You will be able to fully rebind controls for any of these wheels, should you not be satisified with the default presets.

To access these presets, you will need to:

• Go into the "Controls" menu
  
• Proceed to the "Wheels" tab.
  
• Once there, press the "Defaults" button in order to set the defaults to your specific device.
  
• If you're using a manual gear shifter, check the checkbox "Manual Gearbox With Clutch"

With regards to controllers on PC, we do plan to support the usual controllers.

• Keyboard and Mouse : Full Support
  
• Xbox One Controller (Elite and Regular) : Full Support
  
• Xbox 360 Controller: Full Support
  
• Steam Controller : Supported as XInput - can be customised through Steam Big Picture (UI won't update)
  
• PS4 Controller: Partial support through Steam Big Picture - UI does not show PS4 inputs

On consoles, obviously, you'll be able to use the controllers that typically work with the console. You won't be able to use ones that don't normally work, so no Xbox One controller for PS4 Spintires: MudRunner, or vice versa.

As always, let us know if you have any questions!

I have the same problem when my standalone g25 shifter usb mod is connected and my frex shift sequental is connected. If i disconnect them from usb ,then i t seems that my thrustmaster tx is working fine.

[Zigma]

Same problem here to. TEMPORARY solution is to not touch wheel or pedals when you want to use mouse. Works ok fore me ( G25 & TH8)

[Chipmunk197]

think everyones having this problem iv got a g27 and im for ever fighing my mouse and i touch my wheel by mistake

[TuSaL9]

If you have a gamepad, try connecting it also at the same time.... then its alittle bit easier to manage.

I think, the bug only occurs when the axis values are not very stable (when wheel or joystick is not moving). It can be caused by old potentiometers or other position sensors. Steering wheels with opical sensors are less prone for this issue.
However, this bug is related to a generic game controller, not a specyfic one.
I think only developers can fix it by the change (or add) of some threshold for input when control is switched form mouse to controller.

No, I try Mud Runner with T300 and this problem still exists.

[DeltaD28]

I just disconnected the controller and the wheel and mouse worked normally.
My PS4 controller has some jiggle and that may have been the issue.

End of 2024 I have the same problem, mouse just jumps back in the centre of the screen, makes the game unplayable for me, and can't find any fix
