Have you guys tried running the game under compatibility mode? Try using Windows XP (SP3).

Right click your FFXIV shortcut>Properties>Compatibility Tab>select Windows XP (SP3*)>Apply. Also, do this for all other FFXIV executables.

Hi maTyaR, thanks for your tip. I just tried this (I cant see Win XP sp3 though, only sp2..?).
When I launched it issue was still not solved. Do you know why I cant see Win XP sp3? Thanks in advance..!! Cheers.

Hi PastelioDibiaggio, thanks for your update. I think the post you mean is this one > http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ullscreen-mode so yes, it has indeed been posted there.. and not only there..

Zoultrias, were you able to solve this for SCII? If yes, how?

In SCII after a long time of playing, I started to get the cursor corruption where it would just disappear. I don't recall if I was using full screen or windowed mode. The solution was to set cursor mouse trailing, and reduce the length of the trailing to practically zero so you wouldn't really notice the trailing, but that would enable SCII to show the cursor while playing. Doesn't seem to work for FFXIV the same way though.

Unfortunately any fixes everyone are posting just are not working for this issue. It's the game not running in Vista and XP for the most part. I feel it's something the way D3D renderer is working. But who knows. I have tried everything you can think of. So I'm done messing with this, I'm only bumping to get it passed all these EA and login issues. Now I have to rely on Square to get off their butts and acknowledge there is an issue, and not close tickets submitted without actually looking into this and other threads. It's really ridiculous!

bumpdi bump SE take a look and respond you lazy sons of.....

Does anyone know if a hardware mouse is available in the game? I heard about a fan made patch that can activate it? Or any other third party program that can emulate a mouse? The game looks so amazing, but I need to use a small window to get optimal performance, and full windowed is too laggy. Full screen mode is very smooth and I really need a cursor

Buuuump! I really wanna play in fullscreen. Windowed kills. I can run 50+fps in fullscreen and only 30 tops in windowed.

bump! Bump!

Thanks for coming back on that Zoultrias. Indeed deactivating mouse cursor trail seems not to be the solution, at least for me.. Cheers.
