Greeting and Salutations Mechwarriors,

I hope this find you in Better than New condition! I myself on the other hand have lost my cursor it was there then it was gone. Here's what happened. Everything was working fine, during load-up windows and through login. But after the connecting icon finishes its spine and your looking at your mech in garage bay, The cursor's gone , moving the mouse around I see the buttons light up as if the cursor where passing over them. I tried the fix-it tool but No Glory. I also tried disabling my gamepad, joystick, gaming keyboard, and Mmo mouse, And
went with a generic KB & Mouse still No Glory. Any assistance or ideas short of a "BIG F"IN HAMMER" would be graciously accepted

I find that alt tabbing, then clicking on the game window will "fix" many of the cursor issues.

Tried nothing. Thanks for help.

Greetings,

Check your mouse cursor setting within windows.

- Open Mouse Properties by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type mouse, and then click Mouse.
- Click the Pointer Options tab
- To find a misplaced pointer by pressing the Ctrl key, under Visibility, select the Show location of pointer when I press the Ctrl key check box.

Additionally check these setting and see if that will solve the disappearing mouse:
Open: CONTROL PANEL 2) Select: Mouse Pointers 3) Disable ALL ancillary pointer behavior
(e.g. shadows, trails, non-default pointer shapes, precision enhancement, Snap-To, Hide-pointer-while-typing... EVERYTHING! Just to be sure!)
- now check the in game mouse, as one or more of those settings could have been 'hiding' the changed mouse courser that MWO assigns to the mouse.

(the 'hide cursor while typing' is a common issue.)


Update: If something here fixed it, or made it work again, please post a response so others can see a fix.

Thank You! 9erRed it was the cursor settings in windows! After resetting them, "All is Well" again.
