Rotating Issue when plopping Lots

I had to reinstall windows and actually have an issue when plopping lots:

All lots snap back to roads so quickly that their orientation is nearly uncontrollable. I know that there is a solution (had the same problem in the past) but can't remember it.

Does anybody have an idea?

The orientation resets when the cursor is moved, so maybe it's that you're using a mouse that's too sensible. You could try with an older one, or setting the sensibility in a lower level (if your mouse allows it), or using the trackpad if you're playing on a laptop. Also, optical mice tend to react erratically when put over rough or unevenly coloured surfaces, so you might want to try putting something more plain, like some paper, under it.

    It´s not on mouse - handling side, had the same problem last year and the solution was to change a setting, probably driver?

    But you do remember about the "home" and "end" keys?

    The "SimCity 4" vanilla Opera House is the most evil thing in existence. Avoid.

    Hi Kelis,

    thx, you made my day!

    I could not test it actually but I´m sure that unchecking the mouse capture did solve my problem last year and will do it again. I just haven´t saved the linky (what i did now...) and could not find it in this next trouble shooting research.
