No Cursor

from Sins Forums
Hey guys, I just downloaded the beta 4 yesterday, and when I entered the game like from the very start at the menu there was no cursor, I managed to go to tutorial by moving my mouse around and the game was fine no lagging, but no cursor either does anyone know how to fix this?

I had a comparable problem long ago: my cursor stopped replaying graphically, but I could still move around and via the highlighted command fields see that the mouse was working. my problem was solved by updating my video card driver.

seems you have sth different though. a system component description might help others track down your problem.

you might consider getting some more ram though, 512 is pretty low.

I have a GeForce Go 6800 and I'm having the same problems as ironheart. Any suggestions to make it stop?

as I said, updating the drivers for the graphics card solved the problem for me. if that doesnt work, post again, maybe someone has a better idea.

To download drivers from Nvidia. With your mobile card, you might also be able to download them from your laptop manufacturer.

You need an actual video card to run most games these days. Since you don't, feel lucky Sins will run at all... I don't know the fix to your problem, but just so you know: Intel has never (yet) released a video chip worthy of the name. Its working on releasing some decent ones in the near future, but for the most part anything with the Intel label is a poorly done piece of junk that doesn't support most of the features (including Hadware Transform and Lighting) most games require to run.

Which is to say, your hardware doesn't meet the minimum requirements of the game...

As i said before, i have the same problem. I found the video card i had on the nvidea site, but its up to date. I don't know what could be wrong. Is there a way that i could change the cursor type or something, that may allow me to make it work, but i have no idea what to do.

nVidia rarely offers their latest drivers in mobile flavors. If your laptop manufacturer doesn't have anything newer, try laptopvideo2go.com.
