So heres the deal.
Originally, I had some mouse problems, where I could move it fine Up down and left, but when I moved to the right, it was half-speed. So I tried disabling DirectInput and it worked for the most part, but then it started occurring again. Apparently it was fixed simply by minimizing and maximizing.
Now here's the real problem.
I reboot the game and it was frozen with a black screen, but you can still here the wind. When I pressed start to minimize and then re-open, it replayed at normal speed with no problem. So out of further curiosity I went to advanced options and changed a few things. As you may know, Advanced options puts the game into a window, which is normal, but when I finished and closed the options menu, the game crashed with this: (See attachment)
I did some reverse engineering and uninstalled the game and re-installed it, same problem.
For reference, I use Direct 3D 9 simply because of its stability of handling excessive dynamic lighting etc. If its the Driver that is causing the problem, I must say that ive never had this issue before.
So basically what I've learnt is that I should never try to fix things myself. Normally the solution would be to change to OpenGL, but as of late, I've been getting choppy framerates, and I have to use a framerate cap of 60 because of it going awal otherwise.
So, can you help me out this time?

Re: I may have accidentally bricked my game
The spoiler contains my first guess, which is probably wrong, move on to the next.
I'm pretty sure this isn't much related but I think Higor probably solved this one before. I just can't think of what it was. Nvm Found it!
Spoiler
I tried doing some search online for that one but didn't find anything much related but I have a few question in mind.
-Do you have a lot of files in the cache folder?
-Do you have a lot of demos in your demo folder?
If either of those, maybe try moving some of the files out of that folder and see how that goes?

This is why I try to save any kind of working solution or such in my hard drive somewhere. However, this one was for someone else as they used Windows 10. I hope it'll work for you?I think it's a mouse capture problem
KeyEvent is being called infinite times
because the Mouse input isn't being cleared from windows
try enable/disable direct input in the INI's

Got it working again. Cheers!
Unrelated, but is there anyway I can tell if two bots have the same name? Since I use XBots theres opportunity for that to happen.
