check in_mouse.

in_mouse -1 = windows rendering, your windows sensitivity intervenes with the quake sensitivity
in_mouse 1 = directinput from directx
in_mouse 2 = raw input, meaning QL talks to the mouse directly, no handler in between.

check r_swapintervall and vsync in general, maybe you have those activated in QL but not in CPMA

check r_mode. some peeps reportet monitor lag in QL when using different aspect ratio than the native one

check r_finish and cg_filter_angle - both should be 0. use finish 1 only if youre from finland

... im sure there are more options that can create input lag that i forget right now. please ignore the upcoming "QL is just inferiour to CPMA, deal with it bru!" comments, as they are bs ^^

it's obvious that it's a cfg problem, so why would a cpma fan take a cheapshot at ql?. get over yourselves, fanboys.
most cpma fans play both games, the war has been over for years.

checked all this stuff and it does not differ from my cpma cfg

in_mouse in QL and Q3 have different values for different results afaik

in_mouse 2 for raw input
in_mouse -1 for microsoft mouse (i.e. intellipoint intervention for microsoft mice)

in_mouse 2 has been known to cause jittering issues in microsoft mice, where in_mouse -1 may not. understand there may be some delay when using in_mouse -1

so in_mouse -1 is recommended for wmo?!?! can't believe.

2 felt better than -1 when i used to play.
would also like confirmation

no.

q3's mouse input has always felt better than ql's for me, no idea what causes it.

Same here.

Also check cg_filter_angles - that's the better version of m_filter. Both should be set to 0 if you don't want lag.


in_mouse 1 runs in separate program thread, but under the hood uses exactly the same API as in_mouse 2 (don't believe when someone tells you QL talks to your mouse directly, hehe). On some hardware configurations (very few) in_mouse 1 can feel better. I know stermy used to switch to in_mouse 1 all the time on his stream for example.

"cg_filter_angles"
checked my cfg and theres no such entry

can anybody help me ? =(
