[1.07] still that stupid cursor disappearing...

from Elemental Forums

Hi,

first of all, thanks for the new patch!

I hope that you will find time ASAP to fix the problem with the mouse cursor.

I'm not speaking of the jittery cursor problem that almost everybody has when you keep pressed the Shift key, it's a minor issue.

I'm speaking of the problem some of us have ALWAYS, whichever we are doing, even in the main menu screen... the mouse is jittery, and disappears when you move it, making a real PITA to play.

Please consider that I had this problem only after installing the new ATI drivers for windows 7 64 bit, and that if I use the hardware cursor the problem disappear (but it's really bad to play in that way, because the GUI only provide some info through the cursor shape).

 

BTW, there is only one thing that is more annoying to me, now, and it is the 10-second delay before each move (even counter-attacks!) when you are playing a tactical battle in which you have a mounted champion. 

Thanks for your attention, and go on with the good patch, you'll give us a wonderful game!

Odd, I had gotten this same problem with the mouse as well. Before I Put in the newest ati video driver for vista 64 it was fine, after I had to switch to hardware cursosr. It doesnt bother me that much, but is annoying.

We've done some testing on the vanishing cursor internally and it seems to only occur with 10.8. 10.7 does not seem to have the issue, so we're working with ATI on it to get a resolution.

Thanks for the quick answer, and good to know that you are working on it!

In fact everything was ok till when I had the bad idea to install the new 10.8, hoping that they could decrease the frequency of OoM crashes... one is hoping that new drivers solve problems, not increase them :grin:

Can definitely agree with thinking that updating drivers would solve problems rather than cause them... And yes thanks for the reply kryo :)

Good news! The last ATI driver update (10.9) released today (15-9) fixes the problem!

Now only the problem with jittery cursor while holding shift and ctrl should be fixed (I suppose that this one should be fixed by SD).
