Cursor/Pointer needs to be more prominent.

[Moza]

Perhaps it's just me probably is) but I'll throw this out as a suggestion.

Whenever there's a big fight (lot's of units battling onscreen I find it's difficult to see the cursor/pointer and sometimes I easily lose track of it. The suggestion is to add in more prominent points/cursor(s), perhaps cursors of different sizes where we can select the colour so that we don't lose track of it ingame which happens quite regularly with me during a game when there's a big battle and lot's of units are bunched and/or filling up the screen.

Yes, I thought I was the only one

I often lose track of it too.

Common problem for me in RTS'.

I have to admit. This is the first time I lose track of the cursor in game on a RTS and I've played most of them.

Either way, I hope the devs address this since it is an issue, or at least, for me.

[ElderToddler]

I completely agree. Found this thread while looking for a way to make it more prominent.

I've never had a problem with the cursor. So if something is changed with it hopfully I'll have the option to keep the current one just in case.

I must agree... it has been very, very frustrating for me . Especially in KIng of the Hill scenario where I am trying to upgrade Dreadnoughts amidst all the carnage and can not find the cursor and my Dreadnought dies because I am not quick enough to hit Repair.. Arrgghhhh please give us some options to change color of the cursor. (Pretty please)?????

[Moza]

Yeah, This is now happeneing a lot, losing sight of the pointer as you gain more units the pointer sadly gets lost in the crowd.

At the time of writing the original post I used to create 1 dreadlaunch now it's 3 and with that the unit counts have drastically increased so this issue (whilst seems minor) is a frustrating issue and should be easily enough to fix. Again, the option to have a larger pointer and the ability to change it's colour or something would be a nice refinement to make.

As a quick fix I modified the normal cursor file. It's now bright red and very much more visible ingame.

1. Get it from here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArFnZojTFdGK23b2ISJS1DpJw1ne (click the download button on top left corner)

2. Replace the old one for example at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ashes of the Singularity\Assets\UI\Art\Cursors\SUnormal.cur"

I can modify the other cursors later if someone actually needs them as well.

Thanks for the how to Nojar. I've now changed mine for a starcraft 2 themed protoss yellow and light blue cursor which is now much easier to see. +1

It's free for anyone interested and you can download the set from here just copy and paste as Nojar mentioned and no conversion is needed since it's the same file extension. You will need to rename it to "SUnormal". http://darc1n.deviantart.com/art/Starcraft-2-Cursor-Set-156170219

Brilliant !!! No pun intended. Thanks Moza and Nojar. Much brighter, easier to see cursor now.

I have beaten King of the Hill twice now. Once in Normal and once in Harder level and when i break out of the Hill area I have 9 or more Dreadnaughts all surrounded by a ton of support vehicles. It was very easy to lose the cursor as it was.

The cursor needs to be scaled according to screen resolution. On my 4K monitor, in native mode, it all but dissapears. I have to play the game at a reduced resolution to keep the mouse cursor large enough to keep track of it easily. Just changing the color is not good enough for really high resolution monitors.

That is not acceptable. Fix it devs!

[Vulcon (Paul)]

Still not fixed, so here is an even bigger Curser based on Nojar's

I also have a 4k monitor, and normally run it in a window that's 2500 X 2000 Imposiible to play normally.

as said above

Had a BUNCH of problems with the cursor being visible even after the new fix from Vulcon... So, I decided to make a a REALLY glaring colored cursor using RealWorld Cursor Editor. It's almost "danger orange" color and I haven't lost it yet!!!!... I don't wanna do a google drive thing so if anyone wants to host this sucker... Let me know.
