halflife First mouse click ignored

When shooting, once in about five times first attempt get ignored, and weapon starts shooting only when I click for the second time.

Windows 7, x86 Mouse - x7 (don't remember what model exactly)

I am unable to reproduce this so far, so if someone can find a clear sequence to make this happen that would help.

happens on both m_rawinput 1 and 0, fps_max 99 and 101

@alfred-valve sorry, but I can't find anything specific - it just happens randomly. Only other thing I can say is that it doesn't seem to happen with other mouse buttons. I have total of five on my mouse, and other four seem to be working fine, though, bear in mind I use those much less than mouse1.

I haven't been able to reproduce. Which game, specifically does this occur in? I can't replicate it in CS1.6.

Feb 21 '13 10:02 MrSchism

I only play CS 1.6 So far, it seems it happens only on mouse1, and it seems it happens with rapid-fire weapons - I don't usually play with awp or scout, but I've tried, and everything seems to be normal, and with pistols as well. I just spoke to a friend of mine, and he has it too.

Feb 21 '13 10:02 zaludan

@zaludan , so it also only happens with one particular brand of mouse you have?

Feb 21 '13 20:02 alfred-valve

No, that friend I've mentioned has Steel series mouse. Alfred, plz add me on steam - it's zaludan over there too - I think I might have found the source of problem, but I need someone else to confirm, and you qualify because you say you can't reproduce the bug :)

Feb 21 '13 20:02 zaludan

Sorry, but it does happen with m4a1 and other weapons too! and it is happening just random with no reason at all.. once i tried to alt tab and see what is happening on my dekstop, then i switched to cs and the first round i was playing it wasnt shooting on my first mouse click.. 2nd time it happened to me was when i was ajusting my crosshair size on menu.. afterwards when i clicked my mouse1 on situation 1vs4 1st click did nothing.. i was like wtffff!!!! so this issue is kind of important.. Windows 7 x64, m_rawinput 1, Microsoft intellimouse 1.1

could it be that it's a problem with the usb polling rate? my mouse polling rate is 1000hz

edit: -mousethread and m_mousethread_sleep 1 looks good so far

Feb 22 '13 06:02 haGibear

After adding m_mousethread_sleep 1 I just got a new one - "my player" started shooting on his own, without me clicking anything, and didn't stop even when the clip was empty, so it didn't auto reload. Only after few clicks it stopped trying to shoot, and reloaded. Did anybody else have this?

Before you suggest - no, my mouse is not broken - I thought it might be the case too, and I actually downloaded hacked version of the game, and everything works just fine.

Similar to #33.

Feb 22 '13 13:02 vjatseslav

@zaludan ;) the same..

Feb 23 '13 00:02 ketch1nators

Any news on this?

Exe build: 17:09:07 Feb 18 2013 (5961) win7 -nofbo m_rawinput 1

I get both bugs.

sometimes my first click doesn't register
sometimes the gun doesn't auto reload

Feb 24 '13 04:02 MaximilianKohler

still happens with -mousethread :(

Feb 26 '13 20:02 haGibear

bug still occurs

Feb 28 '13 20:02 haGibear

Can you post the output of the "version" console command and the value of "m_rawinput" please

Feb 28 '13 21:02 alfred-valve

still happens:

m_rawinput 1

] version Protocol version 48 Exe version 1.1.2.7/Stdio (cstrike) Exe build: 18:02:44 Apr 3 2013 (6005)

Apr 07 '13 07:04 haGibear

Same info as haGibear, it still happens(first click doesn't register) to me too. win 7 x64

Also, if I recall correctly, if I die while I'm shooting and then alt tab, when I respawn I'll start automatically shooting.

I think they're both caused by the same bug of +attack not releasing.

Apr 07 '13 19:04 MaximilianKohler

it's the most annoying bug... please reopen the issue and fix it @alfred-valve

still happens with both m_rawinput 1 and 0

Apr 23 '13 08:04 haGibear

@alfred-valve this is a gamebreaking bug, fix it!

any news on this one?

Was this ever fixed? I'm experiencing the same things with the Creators Update installed on HL1, HL2 and other Source games (CSGO is excluded).

@mikela-valve this is still happening.

Jul 05 '19 04:07 Maxi605

This still happens on Windows 10 with CS 1.6 (8196), I can reproduce this by:

Switch raw mouse input (on or off, doesn't matter) and hit Apply
Switch raw mouse input back and Apply
Return to game
Next fire with left mouse click will not work

Also executing amx_map command triggers this. Previous CS 1.6 builds work fine, 4554 for example.

Will this ever be fixed?

Edit: @alfred-valve @mikela-valve This is still happening, and I think it also affects mouse2 (sometimes it needs two clicks to zoom in when using sniper rifles). I tried different startoptions, raw input 1 and 0, etc.

I gave 1.6 another go this week, because it's more fun than CSGO (which has no mouse issues) and I couldn't believe this bug is still there. Fresh install on a different system than back in 2013, also different mouse. I had 1 session out of ~10 where the issue didn't occur. Maybe something goes wrong on the start of hl.exe?

It could really be related to intialization issues on startup of the game. Restarting the game does help sometimes.

No, Valve doesn't care.
