4th and 5th mouse buttons???

[McFly]

Hey peeps,

How the hell can I get the 4th and 5th mouse buttons to work in EF2?

I've got an Intellimouse Explorer 3 if this helps.

Cheers

If you haven't already done so, download and install Microsoft's IntelliPoint mouse control software. Here's instructions on how set specific button assignments for EF2:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel and select "Mouse."

2. Check "Enable program-specific button settings."

3. Click the settings button to the right.

4. Add a program and locate the EF2 executable.

5. Reprogram the large thumb, small thumb and wheel buttons to standard keyboard functions such as page down.

6. Launch EF2 and test.

Thanks for the reply MadOnion

I've actually got the software installed for it.

Isnt there a better way of doing it? How come EF1 didnt have that problem?

But if this the only way of doing it, what should I assign the rest of the buttons? Or should I just leave them as they are?

The problem is that EF2 doesn't recognize custom mouse commands such as back and forward. Those happen to be the default commands set for thumb buttons on Microsoft mice.

The fix described above is a permanent solution to this problem, so you don't have to wait for a patch to rectify this issue.
