if i press and hold left mousse button and move the mouse quickly, ExamineMouse() will return zero sometimes, which is not a big deal, but MouseButton() returns zero from then on even if i did not release the button.
using PB451 32bit, WinXP SP2
can somebody confirm this?

why you have in yout code Delay(150) ?

without Delay(150) it runs normal ...

with Delay(150) i have ExamineMouse() = 0 , too

Because it simulates the "lag":

Please read the topic title.

Confirmed on Windows XP Home SP3 (German, x86).
Post it in the bug section.

yes, the delay is on purpose.

@stårgate
did you realize that when dune2077 lagged due to too many units, it was sometimes impossible to draw the selection recangle with the mouse? now you know why and that's exactly what occured to me with a game of mine too.

maybe someone could move it to the bugs section.
