Crossfire v1.9, right mouse can't fire weapon :(

    Hi, I just installed crossfire v1.9. Everything went smoothly, I installed it using flmm v1.31. But once the fighting start, my right mouse can't fire my weapons. I can only fire via weapon groups, and if I group more than 1 weapon into the group I have to press the button repeatedly to fire. I do know it's probably not the problem of my mouse since I can set weapon group as R mouse and it can fire although still have to click repeatedly.


    Does anyone else have problem fire using right mouse? And is there a fix for this problem? Thank you.


    PS: I am using a HID-compliant mouse (at least that's what it says on hardware manager). It is wireless, and I am sure the mouse is in working order.

    Well now, that's unusual.


    At options, and "Ship Controls", I guess you do have the "FIRE WEAPONS" option on Mouse 2, maybe for your mouse, if it has many buttons, it's not the Right click, but the middle or something else. You can click on that, then do Right click to make it read the proper Mouse button.



    If you are sure that it uses the Right button, and still not working, then make sure you also have no button for "Enable Rotation", to be sure it'll never be "enabled". That used to cause ship's paralyze, that it couldn't move in some moments, never seen it related with guns, but saying it just to be sure.



    If nothing works out, even after making sure that the option for Fire Weapons is the correct mouse button, then that's weird... Does the right mouse button works properly on vanilla, simple Freelancer game ? Maybe try reinstalling everything, also (re)installing the mouse driver.

    ... have you active weapons? (in right hud need be highlighted). If are not, then ofc your mouse button will not fire.

    Yes, I tried to select all of them on and off. That's not the issue.


    EDIT: Ok, I reinstalled everything, now it seems fine. I have no idea why though :/ What I did different this time is


    1. Switch the opening cutscene to alternative FL cutscene


    2. Switched Juni's outfit


    3. Changed the menu music to top gun


    4. Select classic HUD instead of crossfire one.

    Edited once, last by tlcbonaparte: new information ().

    Well then, yes it was just a corrupt install, something went wrong in it.


    Good to hear that the problem is fixed then :)


    Have fun !
