Second Life problems with mode switching

Post by Sharr »

In "Second Life" you activate flycam mode with the left button. This mode should remain set until changed by esc key stroke. I randomly drop out of flycam mode sometimes as often as 2 seconds. Other times it will stay in flycam mode for minutes before dropping out. I didn't have this problem untill about a month ago. It has become worse over time to the point I can hardly use the flycam mode At first I thought it must be a problem with second Life. I have posted my problem in Second Life and no one else seems to be experiencing the same problem. I have used the device on two different computers and have the same problem on either computer.

Second life has their own built in driver in there application.
Issues should be directed to them for future patches.
Make sure your running latest version.

You may want to try removing your saved profiles and recreating the button mapping.
This is the path the profiles are saved to:
C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\profiles

The files have an extension of .scg
