Hi all.

I've been a player of Soldat for years (big fan of the SPAS-12 and chainsaw), stopped once I switched to a macbook more than a year ago.

As I wanted to use onenote with my osx programs, I used parallels. Then I tried soldat - everything looks fine, and the mouse works as it should (better than bootcamp, actually), until I start a game.

The mouse skips all over the screen! I shift my finger and the crosshair jumps (the game isn't laggy, the mouse JUMPS) across a few inches. lowering the sensitivity down to 10% in the game didn't help matters.

If anyone can, please help - I am THIS close to getting back fond memories of fragging with a chainsaw.

NB: answers like "play soldat in bootcamp then" do not help and are not appreciated

All I know is this is most likely caused by direct input, which is what soldat uses for mouse interaction.

Don't know how to solve your problem, but I would suggest looking through documentation and asking people who know stuff about whatever parallel you are using in relation to direct input.

Any updates on this? I'm encountering the same issue and would appreciate some help, if anyone else has figured it out.
