Mouse Hover / Left-Click Issue — Workaround Notes

bump and get this blue posted needs to be fixed asap

Overview

This is not a permanent fix, but it does help. It is a workaround for an age-old, Blizzard-side issue where the game can become unresponsive to left-click input. For example:

  • You cannot left-click normally.

  • Pressing Esc does not highlight menu selections.

  • You have to Alt-Tab out of the game and back in to restore normal behavior.

Before troubleshooting further, disable your addons first — addons are usually the first thing blamed, so rule them out early.

Console Command: Type /console rawmouseenable 1 in-game to enable raw mouse input, or use /console rawmouseenable 0 if raw input causes your cursor to slide.

  • Config File Edit: Open your World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Config.wtf file in Notepad and add SET rawMouseEnable "1"

Lower Mouse Polling Rate

  • High Polling Rate Issues: Mice with high polling rates (such as 1000Hz or higher) can trigger camera jumps and tracking stutters in WoW, especially at high resolutions.
  • Adjustment: Open your mouse companion software (e.g., SteelSeries, Razer, Logitech G Hub) and lower your mouse polling rate down to 125Hz or 500Hz
  • Disable Overlay and Background Software
    • Razer Software: Exit Razer Synapse or disable the Razer Game Scanner service, which is known to conflict with WoW’s camera angle calculations.
    • Nvidia Shadowplay: Turn off Nvidia Shadowplay or background recording tools if you experience micro-stutters or camera/cursor lockups during fast movement. [1]
      Adjust In-Game Cursor and UI Settings
      • Cursor

Lock: In the WoW interface options, change your cursor size or toggle “Prevent cursor from leaving screen” on and off, or add SET gxCursor "0" into your Config.wtf file if your cursor is jumping to the top-left corner.

      • Reload UI: Type /reload in-game to quickly reset temporary camera locking issues

Workaround Steps

  1. In windows, go to Accessibility > Mouse.

  2. Enable Activate on Hover.

  3. Run the PowerShell script below.
    script below need powershell.
    Add-Type @’
    using System;
    using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

    public class HoverTimeout {
    [DllImport(“user32.dll”, EntryPoint = “SystemParametersInfoW”, SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern bool SetDelay(uint action, uint param, IntPtr value, uint flags);
    }
    '@

    SPI_SETMOUSEHOVERTIME = 0x0067

    uiParam (second argument) = new hover time in milliseconds

    pvParam (third argument) = IntPtr.Zero (unused for this action)

    flags = 3 (SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE)

    [HoverTimeout]::SetDelay(0x0067, 50, [IntPtr]::Zero, 3)
