Hello
I have a similar problem.
During a battle the mouse pointer disappears sometimes and doesn't come back until a restart of the game.
This happens ALWAYS while in combat, NEVER in campaign until now and maybe in one of 20 or 30 battles.
I use a mouse pointer hiding tool called "AutoHideMouseCursor" [1] but even after deactivating and deinstalling this tool the problem persists and is really annoying while in huge battles.
It seems, the problem occurs only if playing for many many hours. I used to keep the game running for days sometimes, minimized on desktop for many hours* while surfing, working, mailing,...
At least I can't remember to get the pointer lost in a fresh instance of starsector.exe
For me it isn't a huge problem.
Maybe only my machine is having this problem, but maybe this hint can help to find this issue if someone has the same problem.
Win7-64 Ultimate
Intel i7 4790K @ 4.5GHz
nVidia/ASUS GTX 1070
16 GB Ram
starsector.exe runs as a borderless window 1980x1024 on a dual monitor setup, but only using one of them. The other one is mostly in use by other means, f.e. a screenshot of the starsector starmap with my notifications.
Mods: Maaaaany
Maybe problematic software which is installed:
- AutoHideMouseCursor (as mentioned above)
- Fraps (installed, but not running)
- MSI Afterburner & RivaTNT (installed, but not running)
If there are other informations necessary, please don't hesitate to ask. I will try to provide any information possible.
Thank you
* And thank you by the way for going to sleep while minimized. Saves lot of electric energy and works pretty nice on my computer. Lots of games need lots of cpu/gfx power even if minimized. But not star sector. So... thank you!
