Mouse Cursor and Random Moving

[Phat_Demon]

Hi,

I installed and started playing Final Fantasy XI last night. The game runs perfect, the only problem is I am having two issues that bug me and lessen the fun.

Issue 1: First I should state I am playing with a Dualshock3 controller on the pc. Whenever I go into my menu or chat with someone the mouse cursor is where the menu choice I clicked was or where the person I talked to was even though I didn't use the mouse. It annoys me because I don't like seeing it in the middle of my screen.

Issue 2: If I don't touch anything I'll randomly move a little ever few seconds. it gets annoying when I am trying to log out and it keeps making my healing cancel.

I appreciate any help.

Issue 1 is probly due to the mouse memory setting. Forget where it was, but it makes the cursor remember where it was last used. I have it turned off on mine and don't have that issue unless I alt-tab to something and use the mouse and then tab back, then the cursor shows up on screen. I just move it off again.

Issue 2 is likely drift on your analogue sticks. I use PS2 via USB adaptor and experience this from time time. Load the windows game controller snap-in (in control panel) and launch the calibration page. You may notice it has a little jitter when it is supposed to be sitting at dead center. This is more or less a hardware issue that becomes more problematic the more the controller is used. Have to periodically do a quick "recalibration" on the controller. Push in on both analog sticks and spin them both around at the same time a few turns real quick. Usually stops it. Kinda funny when you do it in game--makes your toon spin around spastically...heheh.

Yes like Raist said, issue 2 is due to analog control, i experience this issue with a 360 controller on pc, i had to recalibrate it in control panel as well as in ffxi config after. It did seem to fix the issue tho.

Hey everyone.

I just returned to FFXI after an extended break and I am having the same mouse issue as Phat_Demon. Every time I hit the back button or hold it down the mouse pointer pops up.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks! :D
