I play quite a few games, such as: SWTOR, Call of Duty series, World of Warcraft, DC Universe, SWG, etc...
Basically, I play games where i control a character.
At times, randomly, my mouse will jump while I'm playing the game.
What I mean is, I'm walking forward with my game. I could be walking towards my next quest, or looking straight ahead and getting ready for a headset in CoD.
Then, suddenly, I see myself looking down at the ground, or the sky, or even doing a complete 180, even though I didn't move my mouse in that direction.
It happens randomly. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes, it'll go an hour without doing it. Sometimes, it'll go a few hours without doing it.
It only happens sometimes, but it's quite annoying. I don't notice if it happens on my desktop, or when I'm browsing the internet. I don't pay much attention to the pointer, except of course in FPS games. I just notice it inside games, cause my character's view suddenly changes by itself.
The only thing I've found, after doing some research on my own, is this topic: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/193254-mouse-jumps.html
I don't know if Windows Defender real-time protection is the problem or not. I'm mostly looking for help to see if anyone else may know what could be causing this.
I used to use a Logitech optical mouse. I cleaned it, but it was still causing it.
So I purchased a new mouse.
I am now currently using the Logitech G500 Laser mouse with 5600 dpi. This mouse has been doing the same thing inside games as my optical did. The mouse is brand new.
I tried using the older drivers. I've even tried upgrading to the newest drivers. It's not the mouse. I've tried numerous ones. They all do the same. It has something to do with vista or something. Vista is up to date with patches.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
