I only titled this "Certain PC Game Views Always Moves UP!" because I didn't know what else to ask.
Here's the problem, I've tried installing Borderlands & Singularity & gotten the same problem with both games, (if I can explain this correctly) the "view" of the 1st person character (myself) ALWAYS moves to the top of the screen. As if you've moved your mouse up so that your looking straight into the sky. Whenever you move the mouse down, (effecting the view of your character) the view of said character moves directly back to the sky.
It's not the easiest question for me to put into words. I've done a LOT of research on-line & found not one other person with this issue. I'm probably explaining it wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz 2GB DDR2 Radeon HD4350 Catalyst 10.7 500GB HD 75% Full Windows 7 Ultimate
Anything else needed to know please ask.
EDIT I also have a Microsoft wireless mouse with the IntelliPoint driver & Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse combo with the SetPoint driver & Xbox 360 controller & driver & Xpadder 5.7 for those games that don't support joypads.
I've tried EVERY combination of ON-OFF diver-mouse-xpadder-no xpadder but it ALWAYS ends up with the exact same video issue.
Every other game plays fine. COD MW 1 & 2, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, LEGO Indy 2, etc etc etc
BTW, I know my machine isn't a "gaming rig", every other game works fine. If these two do the exact same thing than I know there will be more.
Best Answer
The two games you mentioned (Borderlands and Singularity) have in common that they both run on the Unreal Engine 3 (as opposed to the other games you gave as example).
This engine is the most used for current games, so it's very unlikely to have a graphical problem related to an incompatible brand.
The issue you describe looks like someone is forcing you to watch up all the time, nothing else. The interesting point is that the UE3, being ported to consoles, has a native gamepad support, which means that most games based on it will be able to use the gamepad, even if you would expect them to only use mouse, being shooter games.
The issue in this case is most likely that your specific drivers for the gamepad are badly configured for this engine, and one axis is considered pressed all the time, making you look up all the time.
