Mouse stops responding
I've recently started playing this game after getting it in the sale. my issue is that the mouse that I'm using to steer my ship stops responding at certain times until I use my arrow keys. then it works fine for a while. is there a way to get more response from my mouse? it usually happens when I get around other ships/stations and close to gates.

right sorry
Operating Sysyem: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7- 3770
Graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro 600
Memory: 12.0GB
Game Version: x2: the threat
Nature of the problem: it loses the mouse controls when I get close to a station or gate making it impossible to turn the ship until I hit an arrow key on the keyboard.
Sector: every sector I've been in so far (throughout Argon)
Non plot problem
and no scripts or mods installed.

A weird design issue with the game. I'm having trouble finding the thread now, but if you open up the registry editor (regedit, which is preinstalled on windows) and do a search for "X2" you'll find an entry marked "InputJoyDeadzone" which you can set to 0. I think the launcher will reset this value if you change the controls in any way, so you 'll want to set your controls how you want them first, then set that value to 0. I'm not 100% sure if the joystick sensitivity works for the mouse or not, but you could try setting it to 0, which would for sure confirm if it does (since the mouse would stop moving the ship in X2). Obviously you'll need to close and restart X2 to see the changes.

Try a different mouse driver, such as a default one from Microsoft if using a bespoke one from the manufacturer for your mouse - or vice-versa. Alternatively swap from a PS/2 mouse connection to a USB one - or vice versa. If these help then that will point to the current mouse driver as the cause of the issue.

It would also be helpful to post your DXDIAG as mentioned in the thread Alan mentioned. Here's the FAQ article on how to do that.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Have the same problem with the ps2 and usb mouse, the sensitivity decreases from time to time, so only the cockpit moves a little.

@ KrYcHokE: You have multiple x2.exe crash issues reported that look as if they are device driver issues. I would suspect that 2013 RealTek sound driver. You can update that from the RealTek update site to the latest 2017/18 HD Audio Codec driver for Win10 x64 (probably R2.82 or R2.83).
See if that helps with general game stability.
I can see that your PS/2 mouse driver is up to date, but I cannot see the USB one in your DxDiag. Are the in-game problems with the two different types of mouse identical?
