Missing Mouse Cursor
Has anyone else had a issue with the mouse cursor missing? I really want to play this game but I am going to have to refund it if I can't get my cursor to show up.

This only happens when in fullscreen mode. If I take it off fullscreen the cursor shows up.

Are you using a multi-monitor setup by any chance? If you are, here's a dev's response to the issue on Discord:

User: "Right now the only way to move the game to another monitor is going to settings, disabling fullscreen, dragging the windowed game to another monitor, and re-enabling fullscreen."

Dev: "known bug, but unfortunately something that's at the engine level- we can't do anything about it
alternate faster way to fix it: after moving it, hit Alt+Enter twice
to quickly un- and re-fullscreen it
we genuinely considered changing engines because of this specific bug"

I am just using a single monitor. I have tried Alt+Enter while in windowed mode and the cursor keeps disappearing in fullscreen each time unfortunately.

I also had this bug. Single monitor too. What Resolutionof are you on? I am at 4K, same thing, no cursor visible at fullscreen, but on windowed it was ok.

Temporary sollution that works for me:

I lowered my Windows resolutoion to 1080p (1440p was not enough) - game looks the same pretty much, but I can play with cursor fullscreen just fine.

Lowering my resolution to 2560 x 1080 worked. I really wish I could play the game at my monitors native resolution of 3440 x 1440. Hopefully the devs can identify the issue and fix it, frustrating a bug like this made it to 1.0 release.

That's true, but at least there is a workaround for now, glad it also worked for you.

any more details like OS/GPU? I just tested the game at all these resolutions and the cursor appears normally.

I have a 980ti and Windows 7 (soon to be upgraded).

This is still an issue for me:
Windows 11, fully patched, w/ 1080ti running a 55" TV at 4k.

Just adding a post in here because I'm experiencing this issue as well, running on my primary monitor at 4K res (3840x2160) with a 1080p monitor as a secondary

Win 11 up to date, 7900XT GPU

I have the same problem on my notebook, Lenovo Thinkpad E15, Windows 10, onboard graphics... only have the problem in fullscreen...
Zero Jan 13, 2024 @ 9:14pm

I have dual screen, the main one is 1440p. Switching to 1080p then switching back to 1440p with the game open solved the issue

i have this same problem, but... only when streaming in discord in fullscreen, for some reason?
a bit disappointing, as i wanted to stream this to my friends, but it's not the end of the world
