Cursor/lag problems - Blue Tracker

#0 - Aug. 31, 2009, 9:58 a.m.

so everything had been running perfect on my desktop for so long and now whenever i'm in WoW or even on the login page the little armor glove cursor blinks whenever i move it and it lags everything. but if i keep it still, everything is fine. it's weird because it has been working perfectly and now it's almost impossible to play. it's weird too because my laptop with worse specs (except memory) runs WoW better atm. but i'm just wondering if there's a fix for this or am i gonna have to buy a new video card (i'm just using the integrated intel crap cause it's worked fine enough). i need help! thanks!

If this is fairly recent, especially since 3.2, I'd look at our stickies in the tech forum, Zex.

Sounds like you may need some updated drivers or tweaks. Look to see if your video card is one of the ones listed in the sticky posts.

Q u o t e:
the only thing that's done anything was turning off "Hardware Cursor" which makes the lag go away for the most part but it makes my cursor feel "slow" and just not responsive. i know i use the integrated graphics in my computer but it's always worked fine until now. do you think buying a new video card would help, judging by what you've heard?

Is your card not one of those mentioned in tech?

Some cards need updated drivers after 3.2. You could also follow up on your particular issue with our tech folks if yours is not one of the ones listed - or if that doesn't seem to help.
