max mouse speed ingame != going into options and moving the bar to max.
max mouse speed = /set ctrl_mousefac 100. Try playing with that LilT, you'll stop complaining.
The options max is equivalent to like /set ctrl_mousefac 2. Try 2.5 or 3, it'll help a lot. If you find that's perfect, make an sms for it, for example ... +sms a /set ctrl_mousefac 3 . so just type /sms a or ... ctrl-shift-a...? (I know there's a quick command for it) so you can set your mousefac when you start teh game. Basically, if it's over 2, starting the game resets it to 2, so you have to reset it. It's always been like that. I used to use 8 or so when duelling in 3rd person with a SH.
