Strange L4D2 glitch/hack/exploit

At first I thought my mouse was playing up as occaisionally my mouse would jerk off what i was aiming at as if my sensitivity shot and and I nudged the mouse.

It became obvious that this was intentional last night. Who ever is doing this got a bit carried away. This behaviour never happened when the game was quiet it only occurred when I was aiming at something important. Sometimes I could hear a windows "bing bong" noise when this happened

It is making the game unplayable. I played on my server this morning fine and I have played on other servers no problem. It only seems to happen when a small group of 4 or 5 regular players are on. Two of these guys have some admin rights as well.

I think it is one of the regulars sadly but does anyone know what might cause this? How do I stopp it and find out who it is ? Or am I mad?

Can you record it?

I could get fraps but I might not be able to post something for a day or two. It was so obviously deliberate last night and it only happens when a few players are playing. I think the main supect is on now I will see if anything happens when I join now.

Only thing I can think of is a slap (if it's on an ocuk server). The OcUK servers are set up though so that it should tell you which admin is doing what. If you can prove it is a regular admin (use fraps or something to record a demo) on the ocuk server I will probably see that they are stripped of admin rights...

Your mouse is fracked. The Bing Bong noise is the USB re-confirming itself. Try a different socket, or a different mouse.

I am now pretty certain its the person who I thought it was. He asked to join a game I was already playing but i said he couldnt except for the other team. He did the mouse trick once randomly. He has removed his tag as well.

I just cant understand hw he does it

Join into one of the insanity games and we'll slap you around a bit to see if it bears any similarity to what you're experiencing

Yeah, if it's a wired mouse there's probably a loose connection. Hence why you don't get it when things are quiet.
