Mouse Cursor and Random Moving

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.

Thanks guys everything is working perfect now!

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
