Beta 4 kills my mouse pointer

November 20, 2005 7:09:17 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
After a few turns of playing the mouse pointer (icon) gets stuck. The mouse still works but it is hard to keep on playing when you don't see the real position of your mouse pointer.
When I close Galciv2 I have the same problem in Windows. -> no visible mouse pointer.
As a workaround I can activate 'Display pointer trails' in the control panel. This will not get the pointer back but the 'trails' are good enough.

I'm using a GeForce 6600GT with the latest Nvidia drivers and the latest DirectX installed.

I have also seen this problem. I had to reboot to get my mouse back.

I have aswell.

Im using a 6600GT with latest drivers.

Need to reboot PC. Otherwise a frozen mouse pointer is shown and you have an invisible moving mouse pointer.

I just noticed that there are new Nvidia drivers (81.94). One of the issues solved deals with a disappearing mouse pointer on Windows MCE. Has anyone already tried these to check whether they solve the problem?

Thanks wodin101. I'll keep the current drivers then since they work like a charm for Civ4.

Does the hardware mouse option fix this for everyone else?

If it does, that should help us track down the bug.

Not for me, as soon as I select the hardware mouse it disappears. (I have a 7800)

Also, when the mouse pointer disappears as described above it only "gone" for the monitor Galciv2 is running on. Moving the mouse to the second monitor and it's back, as soon as you return to the first monitor it's gone again.
