Mouse Pointer vanishing in Fullscreen Mode

[Kaurik]

The problem has been around for more than a year. We have tried all those options, plus more, including new drivers, etc. etc. This one is up to SE to fix because I'm not buying a new operating system just to play 1 game correctly. If it's not fixed by 2.2 I'll just move on to a new game.

there was a bump in the night.. and yet nothing was stirring, not even SE.

Not fixed in 2.16. However, I've seen a small change: now the pointer disappears completely and doesn't re-appear blinking temporarily with a semi-transparent square around it when you move the mouse. It could be just a coincidence, but maybe they're really trying to see how to fix it.

I also have this issue and am on Vista...Strangely enough it didn't effect me in the beta, but only now when I recently started playing again...

After spending a glorious 20 minutes on the phone with thier skillful technicians....btw that was sarcasm...I officially got a blowoff from Sqeenix that this is a issue many people have and that they MAY...hence the word MAY fix this issue in a latter patch but currently they have no idea how to fix this issue. TO me, Square Enix is full of crap for not fixing this issue that player have been dealing with for over 6 months now with not one fix which is absolute horse manure. Good Job SE...GJ!!!!!

So I read through all 22 pages of this thread thinking there is bound to be a solution to this simple cursor glitch only to be left completely disappointed. What the hell is this amateur bull crap. Why does this game have a monthly fee again? The hell?!

I MAY have inadvertently found a fix? Idk.
Yesterday when I started up the game, for some god beknownst reason the game was in full screen instead of my normal windowed mode, and the cursor was gone, which seems to be what you're all talking about right?
Well I finally got to the system menu and found out that the stupid thing had suddenly set my control to GAME PAD instead of MOUSE/KB. I switched it back and the cursor showed up immediately.

hope this helps

Nope, didn't work. Are you talking about the option that says "Enable Gamepad".. I unchecked that in full screen and still no cursor. Or are you talking about a different option?

[Raist]

Yeah this really sucks.. My laptop has windows XP and the mouse constantly flashes and lowers the FPS. FIX THIS!!!!!!

Enable full DirectX acceleration. In XP, if it is even just one notch off it disables HW Cursor, which is at the root of the problem--how the OS is managing the rendering of the mouse cursor.

Wow still nothing being done??
