Is anyone else experiencing a frustrating issue involving the camera randomly jerking during movement via the mouse (done so by holding right-click and dragging)?

I almost exclusively control my camera movement in this way and it's really irritating when I'm looking around my ship to find the camera suddenly jerking all the way down or off to the side. It's especially bothersome during ground combat (because right-click dragging is how I control my character's direction).

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm running a MacBook Pro (3,1) with the following specs: 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA 8600M GT (256 MB), Mac OS X 10.6.4

I was experiencing that. I wasn't sure if it was STO, CrossOver, or my el-cheapo mouse.

I fixed it in the game's options. I forget exactly where, but there's a camera movement smoothing option. I turned it to the smallest number above 0 (it defaults to 0). That pretty much eliminated the problem while not causing the camera to be too laggy.

I get this too, but only on my iMac. My linux install is perefect. If I can figure it out, I will let you all know, but i do have a nice Logitech on both systems, with only the Mac using any official Logitech driver. Wonder if that's it ...

I tried looking for the setting you were referring to, Ken, and found 'Mouse Filtering' under the Basic settings. I've tried playing around with it and it does seem to help reduce the mouse jittering considerably. It's not perfect, but it certainly helps.

Thanks for the tip. :)
