Still as of 2/19/2014 there is no mouse cursor in full screen for myself and many other users who have windows vista as their OS and as the title of the post suggests this "bug" has been around since before the game's official release. Can we get a team to address this issue or what? Last mention or even acknowledgement of this issue was a very vague response that basically says "we might have it fixed for 2.1, maybe later" .. I dont want to hear "to be continued", I want to know when it's going to be fixed.
Borderless Windowed mode is not a fix! Please keep these threads going so that SE can prioritize this issue asap.

Seems it affects a lot of titles under Vista specifically. -

What reason could you have for wanting to stay on the Vista operating system?

02-22-2014, 02:41 AMT2teddyDude, not everyone can afford a whole new operating system, me included. An OS upgrade would mean I have the choice of only paying 1/2 my rent, none of my utilities, or don't eat for 2 weeks. Which would you pick, mister moneybags?Quote:

Issue still here. I just got the game for PS3 and my gf got it for the PC, vista OS. It is STILL an issue and there are many players suffering from this issue.
Enix needs to get to work and stop ignoring those on older OS. Regardless of OS we all pay subscription fees and from what I see this issue is causing them to lose subs.
Fix this. -

I literally just started, but not being able to full screen my game, which causes a huge drop in fps by the way, is almost a deal breaker. I've been trying to find a solution all over, seems this has been a problem since beta. Well, I guess that answers how good the support for this game will be if they can't even fix a minor problem.

Doesn't Vista have that Glitchy Aero Background setting? Maybe disable it or set to a standard template.

I don't see where to enable or disable that feature, it's not in "mouse" or personalization"
Edit: Nevermind, got it. Doesn't fix the problem though. -

Worth a shot. Hopefully they sort it out

I have read somewhere, that back when ARR was in beta, there was a mouse hardware option. There seems to be people using 3rd party program to activate this mouse hardware. I don't see why Square hasn't just applied this mouse hardware directly into the games current version.

From what I've seen trying to find a way to fix this issue, they ignore and bury it :( There are a few threads in the resolved sub forum about it but, most of the detailed information I find is from 2010. One more reason to hate Vista.
My biggest issue with this is that I get 25 fps in the smallest windowed mode while panning the camera at max speed. Borderless window gives me 5 fps. Full screen without a cursor gives me about 18.
I can't see well in a tiny window. I can't play at all in borderless. Full screen would fit my old system well enough to play all content reasonably well. It can handle middle of the road Skyrim settings in FS pretty well.
I'd like to just get a new pc but, that won't be an option for several months. In the mean time I'd like a playable game :( -
05-01-2014, 05:06 AMKaurikSo here we are April 30, 2014. sitll no fix
Come on SE.. You are really starting to push my freaking buttons here. If you do not address this issue I am going to lose it. It has been way too long for you to not fix this issue. Insert a hardware mouse feature or enable customizable cursors and figure out WTF your doing wrong with the directx compatibilities with Vista. Every other game on the market right now does not have this issue except for yours. FIX IT.

Okay i just created an account for this,i'm a new player.
After reading hundreds of post and searching everywhere on internet,I found out that this issue occur on different games(like blizzard games),they have all been fixed ! Only SE doens't try anything,you guys put a lot of new stuff for Lv.50 in the last patch,but how about the most important thing?And by important things I mean simply let your customers enjoy your game at its full graphic quality !
Why this hasn't been resolved since all the year,there i thousands of people who suffer from this issue ! All we ask is just a hardware mouse feature or something that YOU can do,so now stop ignoring us or I will just be forced to move to another game(like so many already did...)
Thank you. -

The thing is, I distinctly remember during an early beta period, being able to play the game in full-screen mode just fine. Some people reported not being able to see their cursor in full-screen though, so in-between beta tests Square Enix claimed they had worked on it and "fixed" the issue. So then when the next beta came out, what happened? Suddenly I could no longer see my mouse cursor in full-screen mode.
I played for a few months after launch, then took a break. Just recently came back and was honestly expecting this to have been cleared up by now -- but to this day, FFXIV remains the only game that will not display my cursor in full-screen. And it's made all the more aggravating, just knowing that there once was a version of this game which functioned correctly for me.
