same issue here…tried EVERYTHING possible and can get my camera to move at random if I spam like the poster who shared their video…
disabled all add-on’s and never used ELVUI either…all drivers up to date, brand new copy of windows 10, etc.
I have found something that worked for like 30 seconds which was going into the battle.net app and clicking Blizzard - Settings - General - scroll to bottom of screen and un-checking the setting “use browser hardware acceleration where available” but doesnt seem to last that long before I need to do a /reload
For the players still having the same problem as the OP, most if not all of you seem to be mentioning that you’re playing with addons disabled rather than a fully reset UI. Unfortunately many addons are still partially loaded in a phantom state when they’re disabled, and just disabling addons doesn’t fix cache corruption. There are also a couple addons which have made updates since this thread was started. Those of you still having issues may not be getting the right updates.
First up, just check all your addons for updates. If there are any, update them and retest! If it fails after this, disable your addons. If this works, we know it’s an addon. Re enable them one by one until you find the culprit, then reinstall that addon.
Still having problems? In that case we need to do a complete UI reset and rebuild everything from scratch. To do this, uninstall any addon managers (Twitch, Wowmatrix, Tukui Client, etc) thenreset your UI. If you don’t uninstall addon managers first, it’ll break the UI reset process and we’ll be back at square one.
Now retest. It should work now, but if not, type this command into chat and press enter. It’ll give you an error, but should still do what it’s supposed to do.
/console cvar_default
Now that this is done everything should be fixed. For now, don’t reinstall twitch. Instead, you want to manually install the most up to date versions of your addons. Do this one by one and if one breaks it again, reach out to the addon developer to let them know about the problem so they can fix it. After all this is done you should be safe to reinstall your addon managers.
Just tried all of that. still broken cannnot move MY CAMERA WITH MY RIGHT CLICK. I cannot MOVE my CAMERA with my RIGHT CLICK all ADDONS disabled ALL EVERYTHING DISSABLED fresh ui
this is not working. you guys say the same thing everytime. i get false hope and try it and its still broken. never had a problem since 8.1 FIX UR GAME
Can y’all run /fstack in chat then hover over the problem area where the mouse stops responding? Please report if there’s a specific frame being reported there.
It seems atleast one of the issues causing this is zoning out of an instance (or into one) with the bonus roll window up. I’m not sure if there is anything else causing this but it seems thats the main contender.
It doesnt seem to be any certain spot on my screen, it happens all over the place, and if I keep clicking the same spot it will work after a few tries.
i’ve tried soo many “solutions” that have been posted in a few other forums on this issue since this time last year, and no luck for me
i reset my ui and it seemed to fix it at first, didnt re-install any addons and after 2-3 islands my right-click’s response was inconsistent again.
in-game overlays, such as discord’s and nvidia’s, have been reported culprits, start there if youre troubleshooting. im about to just re-install the game, cant raid or M+ like this, really need a fix
…wow, just installed 8.1 on a PC i havent used since november and the same issue arose while raiding. I did a UI reset before even playing and only installed DBM and recount. Different OS, different GPU manufacturer, and ive used 2 different mice on each. i wasnt getting any issues at all for the first hour before raiding
I seem to have found a fix after checking /fstack. I just disabled a portion of Details! called “Details! Encounter Breakdown” and I am able to use my right mouse button freely at the moment. Encounter Breakdown is a very large window that pops up in the center of the screen when in use. I’m holdin’ on to my butt hoping this fixes it for good.
It’s 100% related to the reroll box not clearing itself. If you cancel the reroll before leaving a match it mostly seems to stop this but if you leave a game and keep playing you can see the reroll box appearing higher and higher as you continue to win games.
The UI disappears but mouse acts as though it is still there.
YI get the same issue in BoD. And Opulence is the worst in the gauntlet. I move with my mouse. And when it comes to moving around it’s as if my mouse doesn’t work properly.
I use elv ui. At first I thought my mouse was broken. When doing Mythic plus it doesn’t seem to happen, or less noticeable. But BoD is the worst.
I might also add that I never do arena. So whatever it is it includes other areas of the game.
Thought I might add. I use mouse button 4 and 5 for strafe. If I hold my right mouse button to go forward, then strafe is held at the same time. All sorts of weird things happen. Sometime I don’t move at all. Sometimes it works, sometimes I can’t turn when I move my mouse. Not sure how many play like this, but i have moved with my mouse this way for many years. And since BoD opened, some bosses are unplayable
This may help some or it may not.
I noticed this problem the day after 8.1 dropped. The issue seems to be caused by the loot window alerts (the popups that occur when you or another player receives a piece of loot via any means). The only reason I noticed it was opening the chests you sometimes receive for winning an Arena match.
I found that moving the Alerts via any Move addon (MoveAnything) or even unlocking frames for ElvUI etc. The issue doesn’t go away but it does mean that you won’t have the issue be in the middle of your screen.
Give that a go but like I said this may or may not work for some users.
blizzard didn’t fix this yet? it’s a big problem. having this problem, as well as a some other whack mouse problem (opening the paper doll and moving mouse cursor over gear items, the mouse will stall out of a millisecond, and then delay move; hard to explain, but dropping polling rate from 500 to 125 seems to fix that).
We need some more information using the command above before we can even hope to understand the issue, let alone do anything for it. Right now what we have is a bunch of different reports of issues - some players mentioned it was addons, some aren’t. Please run that /fstack command and let us know what it says is in the way when you run it. It’ll also help to know what addons you run.
Keep in mind that disabling addons does not fully disable their UI elements. You usually need to do a full reset after removing addon managers (twitch, wowmatrix, tukui client, etc) to fully rule them out.
thank you for the reply! it is this issue from this other post. see link below. apparently a player figured out a workaround and wrote up an add-on to address. i’m just resorting to /console reset UI after each arena match to prevent the compounding issue. would really appreciate a hotfix.
here is another link addressing the same issue… also the other mouse issue i addressed regarding having to drop polling rate, that problem i confirmed to not be wow related.
I’d like to throw in that I’ve attempted all the suggestions and nothing has fixed my mouse click issue. However, I noticed the issues is most severe when trying to move while having aggro or attacking. I noticed on my Demonhunter when I got mobbed and was trying to move around while attack it started up. So I started troubleshooting from there. 100% of the time, it came back when mobs got in my face. There might be something also going on with the aggro “box?” of a character or mob when you mouse over them creating that “click black hole”. It just seemed uncanny that 100% of the time it would come back. Mostly when 2 or more were attacking me, which also makes the issues during PVP seem more credible. I also tested this on 3 other characters to make sure it wasn’t DH specific. Same issues. Ideas? Help?
