Mouse cursor going outside game window

[ComfyWolf]

I tried searching here and on google for a solution but found none, in windowed mode my cursor will go outside the game window, I'd rather not play fullscreen.

I'm on windows 10 btw.

Get rid of windows 10. I.m.e.: blacklight likes it about as much as a stomach likes epicac.

Windows 10 and Blacklight work together just fine (apart from some bugs).

Of course the cursor will leave the game when playing in windowed mode, that's normal behavior with a lot of games.
I recommend fullscreen, since it generelly gives you a boost in performance and eliminates a lot of risk for errors.
Otherwise you can check the internet for cursor lock programs.

I mean, I don't think it's normal to not be able to turn in the game because my cursor will move outside the screen, I've only played like 2 or 3 games ever that did something like this to me in windowed mode. So being normal behavior with a lot of games? I've played a lot of fps games that play just fine in windowed, I don't know what kind you've tried.

Let's say it isn't an unusual problem and if you have a look at my game library then you see I've played a lot of games. I've given you multiple solutions to try. As I said, it is not a actual bug.

Acually it is a bit of an unusual problem, but yes it can happen with a number of games. But it is most definately a bug when we are talking mouse look in fps games. Of course the mouse cursor is not supposed to leave the game window when trying to aim your gun around.....

When in a menu and the mouse cursor appears in game for example when you use the game UI, THEN it is normal that the mouse can leave the window, that is expected behavior; but not when you are aiming a gun or looking around. Sadly you never understood what the OP was about.

Im currently researching a solution to this problem, when/if I find it I will post it here. And yes I am aware the thread is 3 years old, but so what, the current replies to this thread is useless, so if I find a solution and post it here, the thread will finally serve a usefull purpose (most mouse cursor lock programs you can find online either doesnt work, or only partially work, or they enforce heavy limitations. For example these programs often prevent the mouse from leaving the game window when the mouse cursor is show in game, which is not desirable. You usually DO want the mouse cursor to be able to leave the game window when the cursor is visible in game. When the mouse cursor is NOT visible in game, for example when you are playing an FPS game like CS GO or similar, aiming guns, looking around etc, THAT is the scenario where we do not want the mouse cursor to leave the game).

Game's dead on PC. Even if you find a fix, you'd have to magically get the game functioning first before you'd apply your fix.

Good luck

It was more of a general reply to that particular problem, not this game. I dont know this game or care about it, sorry.

Roger, thanks for clarification. You don't care/know about this game, then you'll fit right in around here.
