ok, i have posted this before in help although the problem is still not resolved. i have also posted as a bug report but received only suggestions that i have already tried. essentially what happens is my mouse and keyboard responsiveness degrades after several minutes in game. if i quit quake and restart its smooth fast and responsive again.

some have suggested it may be a virus although i cant see this as have installed clean os's then copied my quake with the same problem. it is either a problem with quake itself or my config as have clean installed multiple os's and have recently bought a new pc. some things i should mention before i post my config.

i have no setpoint installed (used to use it, same problem) and have changed the polling rate to 500hz for my mx518. so here is my config. i have seriously tried everything and am basically wanting to quit the game as i cant play consistant games without this slowess constantly occurring. have tried in_mouse 3, different sys and yieldcpu priorities. i dont use the cpl accel fix or anir fix btw. god ive tried like every fcking setting under the sun. i have no idea what to do.. please any help suggestions anything. ok here is config..

surely other people have experienced this. input slowdown after a few minutes in game then when reloading quake its fast and responsive again? please please assist ....

could be a virus or something
does this happen in other applications?

Tried to see what happens when you use a standard config?
Tried any other mouse etc?

A longshot but could it be your mouse? Try another one.

hmmmm i have used my mx518 with quakeworld for a long time, with np's the best bit of advice is to, change the name of your config and let qw create a default one and see if the problem persists

FYI in_mouse 1, without setpoint, nor registry accel fix, nor the fix that modifies the windows mouse driver will result in acceleration.

i have clean installed before quake and the same problem has occured with my config.. trying every config change still didnt resolve it.. this has beenongoing for a long time. so i clean installed again but created a new config from scratch and individually added each config setting change and tested. this took several hours of course but setting it to run from configs directory and setting an autoexec of the same config has sorted the problem. i have no idea what could have caused this.. but this is the config that im using now and it is all working fine. what the hell could it have been !! ???
