Mouse Cursor stuck in the middle of screen
Hi, i have had troubles with my cursor being stuck in the middle of my screen. Several occasions i enjoyed it being there as it was a temporary crosshair then i would need to exit the game fully to not have it there, it automatically pops up and i would need to restart my game to fix my problem. This is a never ending problem for myself and it bothers me so badly. If anyone has an idea what this means or if theres something i need to fix please help a bud out.

It won't work if you unplug your mouse and the pointer still appears.
In this scenario, you should open Run (Windows + R) and type devmgmt.msc
Then open the Mice tab, and you'll notice you have more than one mouse devices.
Open them all, and in each, open the Device Management tab and press the Disable device option.
In the process you'll disable your mouse and will have to disable the others with your KEYBOARD ONLY.
You need to disable them one by one untill the pointer disappears.
Use ALT + TAB to navigate between windows.
Use TAB when you're inside the device window, untill Disable Device is marked, then hit ENTER.
When the pointer disappears, you can enable the devices back (Disable Device will become Enable Device) and you're good to go.
Hope it helps someone! Good luck in your freshly wiped high queued server!
doesnt work for me, only see my keyboard and mouse in there and disable them both and can still see cursor

Anyone know an easy way to make my mouse stay on screen and centered during gameplay. I made a custom crosshair on as my mouse and would like to use it while playing.

would not be surprised if it is considered as cheating, so use at your own risk

My mouse keeps unplugging and plugging itself and that causes to see the cursor on the screen but the only fix i know is quitting the game and joining again


yup same, at first i thought my mouse was broken but then i realised that my friends have got the same problem. Anyone knows how to fix that?
