I recently setup dosbox to play a copy of WW2GI. It was never a big game, but it's a fun little FPS and was one of the first to do the whole D-Day, win the war thing. For some reason the fire button (Left Mouse Button) is only registering intermittently. I tried changing the amount of processor time alloted to dosbox, changing the key assignments, pressing fewer buttons, holding it, tapping it, fullscreening, windowing, and probably more. I am at a loss as to what is causing it, let alone how to fix it. So far getting more than three button presses to register in a row is unusual. Pressing ctrl (the other fire button) will give the same results. Once the button is down there doesn't seem to be an issue.

It never had this problem back in the day when we first played through it.

Any suggestions are appreciated. I did search the fourms, but didn't find anything that I recognized as helpful. Thank you for your help.

(I've read the readme, but unfortunately I am not at the machine I installed this on and do not have the specs. The best I can offer is that it is a newer XP machine, bought from Dell in the last year and a half.)

It took me a while to get a chance. I fiddled with those settings, but nothing seemed to help. Has anyone ever heard of this issue with Duke 3D?

(I know this is an old thread but...)

I suddenly had this same problem with WW2 GI when I tried playing it on my new PC, on the old one it worked fine with the same DOSBox version. I changed the typical WASD movement controls to ESDF and it seems to work now. Weird.
