0001527: Possible raise MAXEVENTS
It appears that mouse events are getting dropped at higher mouse refresh rates. For instance, at 500Hz, sometimes the fire-button will get stuck down even after I release it. This does not happen at lower mouse refresh rates. Would it be possible to test a version of Zandronum with MAXEVENTS (in d_events.h) increased from 128 to 512 to see if this fixes the issue. This higher MAXEVENTS also can probably solve the problem with mouse, which feel not accurate and lagging. Which complained prominent players from others ports for several years.
No tags attached.

This issue appears to correlate with 0001175. Have you been able to play decently with other mice? I'm not able to directly change and compile the suggested fix but I can thoroughly test it to see if it works properly, should one be available.

It is not about my mouse, i played with many mouses on all ports. And zandronum/skulltag has clearly worst mouse. If i found today that odamex use MAXEVENTS 256 and zandronum 128, i thought problem can be here. I am also not so arguing abut stucking mouse buttons,(which sux btw) which happens me even with polling rate 500 Hz. (very occasionaly). My point is that mouse feel so different opposite ZD/odamex, where i have almost same mouse sensitivity. Here is really hardly set mouse properly. Mouse is still either so fast if i set high mouse_sensitivty but not accurate, i can make 180 turns fine but not accurate swinghots which are weird or is mouse so slow and accurate but ofc impossible aim. I think i could get use some crazy sensitivty, but i am really lazy and old on this point, and play very occasionally all ports. But when i come play odamex after 2 weeks mouse feel perfectly. Here is it mouse_sensitivity change, change, change and still without satisfactory result. It could be glorious if MAXEVENTS solve this issue.

I recall raising MAXEVENTS in my own custom build and it did nothing. Its fixed in the coming 2.0 anyways

0001175 should be the go-to ticket regarding this issue.
