Please give us a utility that will fix the mouse pointer when it shows up in game. When I go to shoot it switched to another program, the only way to fix it so far is to shut the game down and restart it.

PLEASE give me something to fix this.

It is killing me

dual monitor in full screen game mode.

Pretty please?

It'd be nice. But so you know, if you disable the dual monitor thing altogether when playing MWO, the pointer issue will stop.

Seriously? And you think that is a solution? In the strict sense I guess it is a solution. But I paid for 2 (two) 27 inch monitors so I could use them both.. at the same time.. while gaming ;)
I enjoy watching Twitch NGNG steaming while I play.

Please fix this or at least create an utility (in game) that will lock the mouse to the game window. I can live with the mouse showing up mid game, but not with it switching out of the game in the heat of battel

It'd be nice, but that's a solution for now. Stuff like that is essentially bottom priority for PGI, sadly.

I had that problem. I stopped alt-tabbing out of the game after it launches. I haven't had that annoying problem since.

I get it all the time as well. I think it has to do with clicking on open windows on the 2nd display at the critical moment when the game tries to maximize. I have been running with my 2nd display disabled lately and I feel that video performance during matches is greatly improved.

I use only one monitor and get this bug all the time. Although my situation sounds different from yours, here is what works for me.

It all starts when I'm in-game and the game window minimizes to desktop (not user-driven). If I Alt-Tab back to MWO, I usually don't have the mouse bug. If if click on MWO, I always get the mouse bug. Hope this helps.

The above is true; a member of our group some weeks ago had that happen when a program opened in the background making his cursor appear. He alt-tabbed out, and back in. Cursor was gone.

it also helps to have the set game set to full window instead of fullscreen.
looks the same, but alt-tabbing is much faster.
i never had a problem with any game on dual monitors since.
