It's not lag. Does it no matter what the ping is. I would make a demo and show it here if I could.

I had problems with double-scrolling back when I used a logitech... but my MS wheel has always worked perfectly

The problem stems from people that switch weapons with keys complaining of "lost key presses". They would hit the switch weapon key twice so fast that the second key press would be lost because of lag. It was lost to lag because I used to do part of the weapon switching processing on the client and part on the server. The first key press would do some checks on the client and if they passed, send the event to the server. The second key press would happen, but the results from the first hadn't arrived on the client yet so certain "I'm in the middle of switching weapons" checks would fail on the client and drop the second key press.
To fix the problem I moved all the processing to the server so the client only sends input events. The problem is that a key press is a well defined thing where as a mouse wheel scroll is not always perfectly scrolled once.

All I know is that I didn't have this problem at all with the beta. I don't even think I over-scrolled once. I've gotten real good at memorizing the clicks in the wheel. This happens at least a few times every map I play.

Yea same. I've never had this problem with all of the previous betas. I've never had the problem with any other game aswell. If the excuse is lag, then how does that account for it happening 100% of the time when I host my own server?

I said the problem *was* lag. As in we had a problem with switching weapons with key presses and lag, which I fixed. That though, caused a new problem with mouse wheel switching that I haven't fixed.

So, it's safe to assume that the mousewheel problem will be present when T:V ships huh? I mean, unless a patch is released within the first few weeks, im pretty much effed huh?

Isn't there a cheap fix we can do to at least lessen the 'sensitivity' of the wheel?

Yes, it is in the gold build. No, I don't know of any cheap fix (except using keys to switch weapons :)).

Gah, irritating! I keep getting my ass busted by duelers cuz I try to switch to a spinfusor and break out the ole trusty rocket pod instead. :(

Old habits die hard I guess.
