Mouse cursor not working with dual monitors
I don't think this is a bug, but I don't know anywhere else to post it, and I'm also not having this issue with any other game. I just added a second monitor and have it set up to "extend these displays" in the displays settings. Now, whenever I load up the game, the mouse cursor is there and moves on the screen, but clicking on anything doesn't work. I have to hit enter to get past the "this game is still in development" banner, and then have to use the arrow keys to navigate to settings and hit enter to go into settings. Once I'm in settings, I can no longer navigate to different settings because the arrow keys stay locked to the main menu screen, so I can't choose and change any settings.

and see if there might be any settings that could maybe be a factor. Many of them will be blank/empty but I think in Settings.ini you could change what resolution the game would open with, as example. GameUserSettings.ini might also be a place. Not sure where any mouse or other display type settings might be. But it would be a way to look at/make changes to such without having to open the game.

Edit: I'd advise making a backup of that folder somewhere, just in case you alter any .ini that makes it even worse. :P
EditEdit: Appdata is one of those "hidden" folders so you have to hidden folders visible in O/S settings, at least to see them via File Explorer.

I have the same issue, in my case it occurs when I have been playing the game on my TV, if I then play on my other screen the mouse buttons are not alligned. the smaller screen is 1920 DPI, the settings reveal the game is still set to 4K TV! If I open the game on the TV, change the graphics to 1920, it then works on my pc screen with the mouse.

I tried disconnecting my second monitor and loading the game up but still the cursor doesn't work. I'm currently unable to change any settings.

Greetings,

There's a function key on most if not all laptops to change what monitor you are using.
(main or remote)

- Think it's Function F4 maybe. It will be on the F key just look for it.

There should be a F key with 2 small monitors on it. That will set the priority monitor.

For the OP;
- are you running the game on just one monitor or using 2 for the game?

- If 2 then you need "Span" the monitors (surround) - double screen wide.
- If one then it needs to be on the #1 monitor as it has priority, normally.

I'm just running the game on one monitor. I use the other for watching movies and TV. I believe it's already setup as the gaming monitor is the #1 priority.

Still not able to play the game right now due to this issue. Can anyone help with this?

I'm having somewhat of the same issues, My cursor registers like 3 or 4 inches above where it actually is on the screen. Very strange.

Greetings,

Try unplugging and plugging in the mouse while in game.

- Give it the few seconds to ding dong as it finds the mouse and activates it.
- And check the battery.

Disconnect any other accessory not being used for the game, say a gamepad or joystick.

I tried unplugging and plugging the mouse back in with no success. I've also tried disconnecting the second monitor and loading the game up with only one monitor connected and it's still like it was with two monitors. I haven't been able to revert back to how it was before I added the second monitor.

Greetings,

Think you'll have to go into the settings menu, display settings
- Tell the main system that it has only one monitor.
- And that monitor set to the correct resolution

Probably was initially, two different resolutions from the 2 screens.
- one screen resolution the smaller than the other, so mouse and actual pointer location not matched?

Both monitors are same size, brand, and model. I disconnected the second monitor so that it only registered one monitor for the system. The highest resolution I can set for the system resolution (which it's set at) is 1920x1080. When I load the game up and go to the game settings, the resolution is set at 3840x2160 but I have no way of changing that resolution since the cursor won't click on anything and the arrow keys stay locked to the main menu screen.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I do not know re: specific dual monitor problem (I use dual screens and haven't run into this myself) but you can take a look at all the files in

Users\(yourPCname)\AppData\Local\ManorLords\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

and see if there might be any settings that could maybe be a factor. Many of them will be blank/empty but I think in Settings.ini you could change what resolution the game would open with, as example. GameUserSettings.ini might also be a place. Not sure where any mouse or other display type settings might be. But it would be a way to look at/make changes to such without having to open the game.

Edit: I'd advise making a backup of that folder somewhere, just in case you alter any .ini that makes it even worse. :P

I checked the Setting.ini and the r.setres= line was 3840x2160. Changed that to 1920x1080 and the mouse works in game now. Thank you to everyone who has tried to help solve this!
