  • Huge!! User Problem with XG

    From pepstein5@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 14 03:44:17 2022
    I am getting lots of my XG games ruined by XG perceiving an action on my part as a roll, when I wanted to double.
    One possibility is to make sure the no-double option hasn't been switched on. But most of my unintended rolls aren't like that.
    Often I move the cursor to the cube or even press the cube and this is interpreted as a roll, rather than a double.

    Are you using a touchpad by any chance? Accidental taps are
    very easy on a touchpad.

    You could try disabling the ability to click by tapping the
    touchpad. Or at least, decreasing the sensitivity.
