Hey folks!
So I just recently gotten back into WoW, but just learned that my side buttons on my gaming mouse refuses to work now. It worked long ago, but I guess something changed. The weird thing is - the buttons work fine until WoW is launched, and then it stops working completely until a computer restart.
I have a: UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse.
Any way to fix this issue, or is it time to get a new mouse? ![:confused:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/confused.png?v=6" ":confused:")
It’s probably that the path to wow.exe changed in 8.1 and your mouse software isn’t detecting the path and loading your settings.
Wow.exe is now in the World of Warcraft\_retail_ folder. Try pointing the gaming software to that location.
Ooh, thank you! That makes a lot of sense now.
…I guess now I have to figure out how to direct the gaming software. It doesn’t exactly make it easy to find the option so fingers crossed!
EDIT: After some research, I don’t think it’ll let me change anything. So I guess time for a mouse that can work with the new folder lol. Probably?
Are you sure you’re running the most recent update to the mouse software? I believe most of them had to come up with a new version to account for the change in WoW installation.
I’ve uninstalled my old driver and installed a new one from the official website. Sadly it still remains on V1.0 no matter what I download :[ I’ll still try and look if I’m lucky.
Check on the profiles inside the utechsmart driver.
Sorry for the delay!
Unfortunately I cannot find anything about re-configuring to WoW unless I am totally blind. It just gives options to change the Buttons / DPI / Light.
