Help - mouse stuck looking down

Player

Hey guys,

I don't recall changing any settings but i tried to play today and my mouse is stuck looking down. I tried a different mouse and it didn't make a difference. I have attached a demo so you can see. Anyone know how to fix it?

Never had this issue but searching for it at ut99.org came up with a couple possible solutions:

One thread suggests that it might be caused by trying to play with a joystick connected to the computer and/or removing the joystick keybinds in the ini even though these keybinds really shouldn't cause that issue.

In the other thread the person solved their issue by disabling Windows DEP (Data execution prevention) either for just UT or entirely, I'm not sure which.

Are you running the latest patch or at least v469d? And I'm just assuming you run Windows.

Removing the joystick keybinds didn't make a difference for me. However, a simple restart of the computer fixed it. Strange. If it comes back I will let you know. Running Windows 10, UT v469 (i don't know if it's d)

i know it sucks, sometimes my mouse also gets stuck so you are not the only one that is having that problem. it does not matter what i do it just stays stuck and looking down.

Maybe you are somehow magically connected to each other? Something like quantum entanglement. I wouldn't underestimate it.

...and as for the joystick - you also wrote a while ago about the problem of connecting such a controller, right? - So we have the culprit
