robdyck Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 No crashes, but generally much slower. You can tell when your habitual mouse clicks out pace the program. Takes me about 3-4 seconds just to open a door dbx and about the same to close it, even with no editing. EDIT: 10-20 seconds to open a door dbx on a fairly small model. Although, how would I know if its related to the update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive updated all drivers on the computer and for the mouse. The mouse is acting sketchy only in chief. Any ideas? I helped another User on Friday with mouse issues and it turned out it was a way out of date Nvidia Driver, (398.86) a known issue with x11 and Nvidia's old 385-400 series Drivers . the current drivers are upto 436.30 and are working fine AFAIAA. this shouldn't be an issue if you use Geforce Experience as it should update the Drivers to each new version for you , assuming you have set it up and have logged in etc at least once....( the issue , the user had above , it was installed but never activated ie he hadn't agreed to the legal spiel) M.

Designer1 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks all for the replies. My mouse is an alienware mouse for my alienware computer. I went ahead and checked the NVidia drivers for the computer and it said these were the most up to date and the same for the entire system. I haven't ever had any of these issues till the other day Im not sure where else to check for updates. My two Nvidia cards are 580s. Its like you hold the mouse down to move something and it just skips or wont pick up or drops too early, best word to describe it is sketchy.

DRAWZILLA Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Nvidia drivers have nothing to do with the mouse. Check the mouse drivers or delete the Alienware mouse and try the standard windows mouse drivers. also do a windows update for the latest drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you have checked mouse batteries etc if it is wireless? , I have read that M$ latest update is causing issues for some with Wireless and maybe Bluetooth issues as well. As for the Nvidia Drivers, Perry is unfortunately wrong. The 580 Series hasn't had a new driver in about 18 months as Nvidia no longer supports them , a quick look at Nvidia tells me the latest is 391.35, the issues with Nvidia Drives started about the 388 series and if this is the Issue I am not sure why it just started? the best Driver for Older cards is 382.05. If you have Geforce Experience installed , uninstall it as it will try and update you to the bad (latest) driver again immediately you install a known good but older Driver ........I posted about that , about a year ago , scroll down to the 382.05 section here : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing The problems with the Nvidia Drivers present as mouse issues in Chief as the Nvidia Driver must "draw" the mouse cursor. Issues like the mouse cursor "jumping across the screen , not being able to open Tabs (panels) in DBX's ( can't click) eg the Label tab for Windows, not being able to get back into the Chief Drawing Window or click on anything etc etc etc. Restarting Chief will fix it temporarily sometimes It may not be Chad's issue but it is an Issue with Chief and the 388 and onward series drivers , especially on Notebooks for some. I don't think I have seen the Issue with the 400 Series Drivers which are currently at 436.30. PS . I am not saying it couldn't be the Alienware Mouse Driver , just that the Nvidia Driver does have something to do with the mouse , and how it displays on the screen..... M.

Designer1 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi thanks for the additional advice. I don't have a wireless or battery operated mouse its just a wired alienware mouse. I specifically wanted it old school and wired so I didn't have to deal with Bluetooth and batteries. Ive had many great wireless mouses in the past but wanted to go old school this time. I will check to see if there are any mouse updates. The strange thing is Im only experiencing the inaccuracies and sketchy mouse behavior in chief but no other computer software or online applications.

Designer1 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I checked for the latest mouse drivers and it said I have the latest drivers for the entire computer including the mouse. I guess Ill just deal with these annoyances or plug another mouse in and see if that works. Worst case scenario I guess I can go back to the last chief update patch and install that because I had no issues with that version at all. Hopefully another update will clear this up.

Renerabbitt Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 I'm still experience a crash where CA loops -trying to open a reference .plan on a .plan file that I close, forcing me to end task. Also, this keeps happening to my note schedule and I don't know how to fix it since it seems to be driven by something other than text defaults(custom or otherwise) or label specifications in the schedule's Label dbx.

Could you give a few more details or a plan file. Why is it overlaid on a detail page ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry, nope I checked to turn off anything that could be using additional resources. I will just continue with what is and just have the patience to deal with the sketchy mouse. If it gets to be too annoying I can try another mouse or just reinstall the last patch that wasn't so buggy. Thanks for trying to help me out though, I appreciate it.
