Spinning while looking at the floor? Here's the fix!

What causes this?

The ads set in_nograb to 1 to enable mousing while the game loads.

Seems like it doesn't set in_nograb to 0 when the ad is over effectively enough.

still happening, that command /in_nograb 0 gets teh game back to normal but still no sound, ***

[danstar]

if you got one, use /exec autoexec

always fixed it instantly as well.

Have sound outside QL?

Try snd_restart in console, does that fix it?

Is s_volume at an adequate value?

Does the Ad have a mute button? What if you unmute it?

Is s_mixahead at 0.140 and s_mixPrestep 0.05?

This problem appears when i have 2 diffrent tabs open or more.

When you start a game on quake, and you realise that you have a youtube video on the background. Once you go and try to shut that off, the pc hangs for 1-2 seconds and then you get into the game. I think that Your mouse is still on the other tab, while you are in game.

Changing tabs to the correct one does not fix the problem. So a Quit and rejoin would fix this problem,

so this bug is as old as? too newb to type in all these commands..

bind HOME "in_nograb 0"

..then just press the home key when it happens. Problem solved. You can copy and paste that into console.

This Bug is very widespread since a couple of days. I have seen it before years ago but since a few days it happens to many players.
It's indeed a combination of: NO SOUND, MOUSE GONE WILD AND NO FULL SCREEN.

ID should fix this centrally instead of expecting all of us to constandly change settings.

I've played QL for over 2 years and never had this issue until yesterday. Came back again today. /in_nograb 0 works, but seriously, is id so preoccupied over two years that they can't clean this garbage out of their ad code? Or is this a sleazy way to make us pay to go pro?
