Cursor locked

[Boxie]

Hello!
I'm playing Dave the Diver on a 1920x1080 monitor, with mouse + keyboard. The game is set on my main monitor whilst my browser/other apps are on the second monitor.
I have tried using fullscreen, full window and window mode but none solve the issue I'm having.

When playing, my mouse cursor is locked to the application. I cannot move my mouse beyond the confines of the game window without alt-tabbing first. This doesn't matter if I'm in a menu or actively playing a dive.
There doesn't seem to be an option to disable this cursor lock- though I had assumed full window mode and window mode would be the fix as with most games- that disable cursor application lock in such modes.
(This also makes Full window mode rather redundant as it is basically identical to Fullscreen.)

The game is very good, but this is annoying!

This isn't a problem, it's simply working as intended. I suppose they could add an option, but the cursor being locked to the window has nothing to do with fullscreen vs borderless fullscreen.

I was almost afraid of it.
Please add an option.
It would further increase the fun of the game.

have you tried just pressing Alt-Tab to switch to the other monitor? That should give you mouse control outside of the game, that's what I do. Though I admit, I also thought that I'd simply be able to move the mouse outside the window without switching apps, so I get what you're saying, especially if it's "Windowed" mode versus Full Screen.

Thanks for your answer. This is how I help myself. But unfortunately this also leads to the other programs being displayed incorrectly on the second screen. Now I have to minimize and restore all other programs so that they work properly again. :(

That sounds like you're playing Dave the Diver at a resolution other than your monitor's native res. That isn't normally supposed to happen when alt tabbing.

Yes this is annoying. Most games, especially when paused, allow you to go outside the game with the cursor without having to alt-tab.
