PC GTA IV can't play pool or bowl?

Everything with the game, once i got it working works fine. However I noticed that when i played bowling during one mission, at the point that it says to use mouse and move back and forward to throw, my guy never does anything. I've tried doing it while holding mouse button down, i tried every key combination i could think of. So finally i gave up and it let me finish the mission anyway.

 

Then later i got a mission that had me playing pool. however this time i could move the stick around, and aim and all, but when i goto shoot, no matter how far or fast i move stick backwards, my guy kinda just glitches or something and wont ever hit the ball hard, i just end up tapping the cue ball a few inches at a time.

 

I tried looking at the controls and custom mappings, but i can't find anything that designates the sensitivity for the mouse for the bowling or pool... or something like that.

 

Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone have this problem. I was trying again yesterday, and if i play pool and move the mouse really really quick i can get the ball to almost go across table and hit balls. But it's very inconsistent, and bowling, forget it, can't get my guy to move a muscle no matter how fast i move the mouse.

I had this problem with the bowling but I never got to the pool game, I assume I will have the same problem with pool. I remember reading somewhere that someone had a problem trying to bowl but I'm not sure if it was the same problem we are having, you are definitely not alone though.

Everyone have problems with pool and bowling. Rockstar will fix this problem in up coming patch. That will be released next week (maybe).

Oh, thank goodness i'm not crazy then. I just sitting there trying like crazy to bowl or play pool and i thought i was just nuts. Well just a teeny dissapointment, otherwise i'm enjoying the heck out of this game so far. love it. (was a bit hard to get it started before it was playable tounge.gif)

 

well look forward to being able to play those with my mouse.

Talk about piss-poor quality control. Don't you think keyboard and mouse controls are critical aspects of the game?

 

Typical response from software vendors, it will be fixed in next patch.

 

Well gee, "next week" doesn't sound too confident.

I must point out that the patch only fixed the bowling for me. Seems that Rockstar forgot to do the pool as well.

 

Rockstar seem to be blaming the issue on over-sensitive mice.

 

Hopefully, the second patch will fix the pool too - plus anything else they forgot when they fixed the bowling.

2000Dpi 1 Ms response time RazerCopperhead, no problems so far.

 

So that claim is a lie.

i can't play pool cuz it's just completely dark you can't even see the table much less hte balls..

 

as for bowling, after trying for a steady 10 mins with my wireless mouse, i grabbed my wifes wired mouse, which worked.

 

from my experience, bowling won't work with a wireless mouse, but will work with a wired one.

Man, this has got to be one of the most annoying things ever. I sometimes get it right, and I sometimes don't. I figured out the bowling, but the pool...man, I keep losing just cause my shots are not powerful enough. Really sucks.

 

And it's January 7th already, I don't see no patch so far, except for the first one. Without that the game wouldn't even work lol.

Don't worry, I'm sure these particular issues are at the top of Rockstar's agenda for the next patch. Just hang tight, or upgrade to a 360 pad wink.gif

the only problem I have is with pool, in which everything turns pitch black and is not playable anymore
