Weird Bug with Mouse cursor

[arleas]

I started up the game for the first time after buying and downloading it. Of course the first thing I did was to check out the settings/options. I went to the graphics settings and changed it to "Fullscreen" instead of windowed full screen.

For whatever reason, this caused the screen to change shape (sorta) and the cursor was likewise kinda smushed. I then noticed that I could no longer click on anything by pointing at it. I had to move the mouse a set amount of space vertically and sometimes horizontally as well in order to actually highlight the item I wanted to click. This resulted in not being able to quit the game normally (I had to use alt-F4 to get out) and made switching the graphics back to windowed fullscreen a chore.

After setting the graphics back to windowed fullscreen and then managing to find the spot that would allow me to click "apply and save" everything went back to normal.

I'm playing this game on a 4K TV/monitor and so I'm assuming that the difference between fullscreen and fullscreen windowed is down to some kind of funky scaling issue. The only other time I've seen this happen was early in SteamVR development when using VR controllers as a mouse on anything other than 1080p screens resulted in the same kind of mismatch for accuracy.

any news about it? this is the only thing that makes me uninstalled the game...

[arleas]

I lost interest in the game since it was so sloppy. I haven't seen any updates for it though

[Scoobymath]

just please tell me it will be fix, and the cursor will be accurate :D

[arleas]

Will it ever be fixed? Does the developer give a crap‽ Stay tuned to find out!

[Scoobymath]

multiplayer is coming, they are active

[arleas]

As sloppy as this game is, I don't have high hopes of any bugs being fixed in a multiplayer patch. If anything they're going to add bugs.

Hey there!

This usually only happens, when the full screen resolutions' ratio isn't the same as the resolution ratio of your monitor (16:9 etc..)

We're working super hard on Hydroneer 2.0 (the FREE update, more info soon!) - we're reworking the entire game from the ground up. Physics, vehicles, conveyors, graphics, controls etc.. We don't have a release date just yet, but be sure to keep your eye on the announcements for more info, soon.

Cheers,

I play full screen on 40" tv, no issues, tv has 16:9, 4:3 etc, I dont use them as even the main windows desktop display is oversized for the tv on 16:9, tv has a "just scan" option in resolution settings that I use and have no issues with any game display settings, display is set to 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Thanks for the answer dev! i'm using a 3440x1440p monitor it's not a usual resolution for now, so it could be the problem, i didn't think about that,

i wish you a good work!
