Full Screen mouse issue
What's up with the mouse tracking on full screen? If you have two monitors the game doesn't lock it to your primary monitor. Even more annoying, it will minimize the game if you accidentally click off of the screen.

The other person who said a similar thing never said to me if this worked. But try loading the game with one monitor. Windows key+P and then PC screen only. Load the game to menu, now Windows key+P and Extend it again. Did that focus it back to the game only?

I've also been having this problem, I'm been disabling my right monitor (The one I don't use for the game, mostly for youtube while I play) and I try to play, but it's become a hassle, and I don't understand why the option says "Fullscreen" But it doesn't lock the mouse inside. That's fullscreen windowed. I would love to have this fixed.

While it does work to turn off the other monitor while playing, I can't re-enable it once the game starts or the issue will come back. So in short, no that doesn't work.

There is a workaround which works for me to 100% :
After going in again, move your mouse several times to the side where no other screen is. then left click, you should no longer escape the gamespace.

Anyone else STILL having this problem? It's really annoying that this was apparently a problem damn near a year ago, and still is. I really like the game, but I may have to refund if year old annoying ass problems like this are typical.

I found that a fix that works for me is that, while in a lobby, most likely both singleplayer and multiplayer, open the guidebook, and it will lock the cursor, until you alt-tab, and then you will have to do it again.

This still exists, but the moving mouse to corner with no monitor thing works
