No mouse cursor at start up

[shubert1969]

Hi Folks,

I encountered a strange issue. I do not see the mouse cursor at the start menu.

The only thing that change was a new monitor (I am using a DVI cable now instead of a HDMI).

I have unplugged the joystick and tried a different mouse..no go?

any idea

Can you see it in windowed mode?

(Alt+W)

Hi Folks,

Found a solution and hope this might help others:

Strange but if I change the "make text or other item larger.." option in the screen resolution to 150% then the cursor is gone. If I change it to 125% or 100% then the cursor appear normally.

I'm using a Samsung UHD 4K so it might be because of the resolution..dunno

cheers

I had the same problem. Windows 10 update at the weekend set my desktop scaling to 150% for some reason, and the mouse pointer in SB Pro PE disappears in full screen mode. It's there in "windowed".

Set back to 125% and its visible again.

this happ to me in windowed mode,dont know why or how but a quick reeboot fixed it.

Same thing happened to me. It says "some apps won't respond to changes until after you log out" - I never noticed that before. I had that happen with a Graviteam game too.

Windows 10 makes things more difficult than ever. Depending on the hardware, Win 10 may have certain updates (and features) enabled or not, depending on license and choice you may be subject to forced updates (now, a bit later, somewhat later, or never), and any combination of these can at any point cause trouble, and then we need to program around that (just to see that MS changes things back, or changes them even further).

Sheer brilliance.

Hello,

 

I have the same problem, my mouse curor is hidden in Fullscreen mode.

When I switch to Window mode it appears again and  a resolution figure si shown in red.

Can someone tell me how to fix this , please?

 

Thanks

Seems like the practical workaround is to use the windowed mode (Alt+W), or the borderless windowed mode (via command line option).

Hello,

 

I have a standard resolution of 2560 * 1440 with 120 Hz.

Withe the commandlineaddition in the start shortcut --fullscreenwindow [=arg(=true)] (=false)

the game started in fullscreenmode without mouse cursor.

By the way what is the correct notation for the addition - sometimes i got an error for wrong notation of the additon?

What else possibilities can i try out?

Thanks for your help.

I suppose your google results are as good as mine. Maybe you can get more specific results if you not just search the interwebs for "no mouse cursor in fullscreen game" but also add the details of your mouse vandor and model.

Hello,

 

if anyone understands German, in my Case I reduced the "Skalierung unter Skalierung und Layout des Bildschirms in den Einstellungen von Win 11" and the Mouse appeared again.

Ah, Windows' GUI scaling options. Good point, didn't think of that.

There are plenty of threads about windows scaling in here 

Basically if you lose your mouse pointer and have a big screen set it at 100% or in Sperber's case 125% and it will show up.
