Unable to hide mouse cursor :(

[Tiapriestess]

Meowrs :)

I finally decided to take the plunge and try this game out, but there is a super annoying problem I just can't find a solution to. It's the mouse cursor. It just will not hide itself. There is no option to do so and Google's searches are returning results for every game except this one.

Is there any way to force this obnoxious cursor to hide itself? It's a major blight and very offputting.

If you play the game in big picture mode you can set a certain button combination to control the mouse, then you can move it out of the way. I'm using a ps5 controller and in big picture I can set the touch pad to be the mouse cursor. Then you can get rid of it and move it off the screen.

It is annoying. In modern games, if a controller input is detected, the mouse cursor should be hidden. I'm not sure why they didn't take the time to program that into the game.

Bump

Since this got bumped after so long, can I assume that this has not been addressed? It's really something that should be a staple when a game is being accessed via controller. I can't imagine that it's impossible for this (or any) dev to implement such a simple request.

wow o.o has noone yet figured how to hide it?
in the games where it stays active move it off screen

I've had it reappear in the center at times. Games that fail to hide the mouse cursor and re-center it like that infuriate me to no end when I'm using a controller. This shouldn't have been a difficult thing for SE/SP to fix. Guess if I really want to enjoy this game I'm going to have to find out if Special K can fix its quirks. I'm not a fan of tower defense, but if the client issues would be mitigated properly (or just outright fixed) I'd at least give it another go.

yeah it may reappear at times but thankfully not that often
might be possible disable mouse, as mouse movement might bring it back up, possible but might be wrong
special k? is that a mod? the tower defense isnt that bad just place a few gates and towers and direct the hero around, and smite if must, its the final levels which are the ones that are really hard, the mini barricades easily give you time to prep.
but understandable there new additions all will not enjoy.

as for cursor wise, dunno why it appears but it happens in various games
it does get old, but its something we gotta put up with in some sadly
always must wonder why it appears or reappears on some games i just offscreen it

Special K is an injector (with front end available) that intercepts and alters graphics subsystem functions. It can be used to fix various problems that many games have. Star Ocean 4 for example has a major stuttering issue with its default frame pacing which Special K can alleviate (though not entirely due to SO4's engine inefficiencies and the game never getting any bugfix updates).

Special K isn't for everyone though as it has a fairly steep learning curve both for setup and in-game configuration. Still, I prefer developers provide proper clients that work as expected without having to use third party tools whenever possible. It would take very little work for SE/SP to make ActRaiser R's client perform superbly as there aren't a lot of deficiencies, just a few, but they are very noticeable.

sounds highly interesting ill have to look into it sometime, possible some could create mods with it to help users with problems sounds like.

sadly with so many computer parts and setups problems are bound to arise
now i question if its everyone or not, and how badly an impact folks face
if some see it more often then others, as i think if recall move it off screen and its gone for the session?
