HELP windows10 tablet PC looking down problem

Post by Powo_FR »

Hello everyone.
I'm very fond of this game and I was curious if my new chinese tablet PC could run it. If it could I would have one more PC to make LANs with friends.

It's a chuwi hi10 plus with a intel X5 chipset. Plenty of power to run UT99.

The game runs fine and at normal speed with the default directx (which was unexpected).

There is only one heartbreaking problem. My character is always looking down!

A normal mouse is connected to the tablet and the controls are set up correctly. No smoothing, direct input is on and I removed all keys related to look on the keyboard config.

I can rotate the camera with the mouse but always stuck looking down, no way to look up.
I suspected that the touch screen was causing this and I disabled it in device manager ==> nope

I hope someone here have the solution to my problem.

Thanks but even with accelerometer disabled in device manager I still end up looking at my feet as soon as I move the mouse.

More help please. I found out that if I invert mouse I get to see the ceiling instead...

I tried with another mouse and it's the same.

I put false in UseDirectDraw and reduced my mouse sensitibility ==> now I can look up and left/right correctly BUT the down sensitibility is like 999 TIMES MORE

When I move my mouse 1mm down I almost instantly look half a screen down. That's like if sensibility on this axis was multiplied by 10 or 100 compared to other directions.

This already had happened with me, and it was because I had a gamepad connected to it (although in my case it wasn't a tablet or anything like that, it was just a normal laptop).

So something in your system is probably triggering the look from a "joystick", whichever this means in the tablet itself (like the accelerometer or something else there), so I would suggest for you to open your User.ini file in System, and look for the "Joy..." entries.
There are 2 in particular which may be causing that, which look like something like this:

Code: Select all

JoyU=Axis aturn speed=5.9
JoyV=Axis aLookUp speed=-3
therefore, your problem might be fixed if you just set them to empty values, like this:

Code: Select all

JoyU=
JoyV=

someone already suggested that in pm.
all the lines with joy are =nothing

it was one of the first things I tried

the only progress I have seen is when I put false in front of usedirectdraw
I could look up left and right normally it's just when I look down that I go way too fast down.

I don't know if it's due to the mouse bug or if it's what is causing the bug BUT I installed Fraps and I see a massive stutter each time my mouse goes crazy.
Now that I disabled everything related to joystick or that could interfere I can move around but every 3 or 4 seconds my view is teleported instantly up/down/left/right completely random. Sometimes I do a 180° instantly or look at my feet.

Tried with OpenGL and DX10 it's the same with fps locked or unlocked it's the same too. In open GL the tablet can pull 120+ FPS so it's not a power problem.
CPU is at 45% use. Always a massive stutter and view teleport every few seconds.

I'm about to give up...

Well, there are still a couple of things you can try:
1 - You can try to set the game executable (UnrealTournament.exe) compatibility mode to Windows 7, Windows XP or so.
2 - If that doesn't work, you can try to follow this guide: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=373

Do you have Razer synapse? If so Quit out of it before launching the game.

I had this problem on another game due to that software.

Nope, no razer synapse.

I'd like to add that when I'm NOT using directinput I have massive stuttering but can kinda look around. I don't know if it can be called stuttering at this point or freeze.

But when I'm using direct input I don't have any micro freeze or stuttering BUT i'm stuck watching my feet.

Would a video of my problem help?

I'm stubborn so don't expect me to give up easily :D

Could this be another DEP problem?

I tried with multiple brands. A logitech shitty mouse a mini mouse from TnB and another mouse from MAXXTER

==> same results

What do you mean by DEP?

Search Unreal Tournament and DEP, you'll see a bunch of issues if it's enabled.

OMG I disabled permanently DEP and I don't know if it's because of this but I tried to switch to full screen while in game. The game didn't want to start directly in full screen so I did all my tries in windowed.
When I switch to full screen while already in game there is no crash and BOOOOOOOOOM no more mouse problem or stuttering/freeze
