So out of the blue today this F***ing decade old bug just decides to rear its dumb *** head and nuke any chance of me playing it:

Playing game, select mission, get into mission, get into cockpit... MOUSE CURSOR STUCK ON SCREEN.
Clicking mouse right button removes mouse control altogether.

J***S H. F***ING C****T what year is it PGI? 2013???

I've alt-tabbed the s**t out of the game, switched to window, borderless windowed, fullscreen. changed resolution. edited the config file. rebooted. tried other saves. ended mission. aborted mission. chose other mission that loaded from inside dropship. switch to campaign save vs career. tried instant action. moved game install folder. nuked my config file. nuked my hotas file (i don't use a joystick or gamepad with this game never have, but wtf why not delete the file). nuked my gamepad file too. played with the geforce experience settings. updated my driver from 456 to 471. reverted driver back to 456. unplugged mouse. updated windows. switched mice.

F**K THIS GODDAMN GAME. been with this POS since being a Founder.
this was the last straw. uninstalling this garbage.

if i could find the section of disc on the HD platter where it was installed i would cut it out with scissors, take it out back, piss on it, turn around and drop my pants, squat down and take a huge dump on it, then pour gas on it and set it on fire.

It's not PGI, it's EPIC, so get in control of your blood pressure.
EGS is introducing an overlay feature and it causes troubles with several games.

ref: Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Extras\Overlay\

...and renaming both the .exe files and both the .dll files (I just add a .NO extension):

EOSOverlayRenderer-Win32-Shipping.exe
EOSOverlayRenderer-Win64-Shipping.exe
EOSOVH-Win32-Shipping.dll
EOSOVH-Win64-Shipping.dll

Note, this also breaks the ability to do in-store purchases for games that have these types of transactions.

=Fixed=

Epics Sucks.
Reddit Rocks.
Thanks Folks have a good night.

The EOS implementation has been around for years. Might be a PGI issue since the game has to implement it but could be on Epic's side depending. It could even be something on the user side conflicting with it. I've never seen this issue.

Steam has long had overlay issues and conflicts so its nothing new. I've had plenty of overlay issues happen there. Just a problem with overlay in general.

I got this issue myself yesterday. Been trying to fix it for hours, no luck. Game is unusable until this is fixed. I also use epic launcher.

Lol, the one time I just skip a few posts. DOH! Thanks for pointing that out; I think I'll be smarter next time and read more carefully. I might make a vid on this fix to help people find it.

If, like me, you found yourself here after much frustration, post 3 works. Thank you Aiden Crenshaw!

also - taking a huge dump on a portion of a harddisk platter also brings sweet sweet relief

I did that mod and lost all saved games. Can only select "Instant Action". Is is all files or just certain exe and dll's????
Answer to my email please.

I don't know what you did... this is not a game mod only a epic launcher mod.
there are 4 files you need to rename, don't delete any thing

Hey FlankingBoy I messed up and used the Beta version. Got to learn to read :)

On another note. The extra curser went away so did my controls for my Razer Tatarus gamepad

While it fixes the freelook issue, it does break the ability to play CO-OP. At least with me I see no way to invite friend as the Shift F3 function no longer brings up the friends list.
