Mouse doesn't lock inside game window when using a dual monitor setup.
As the titel says, my mouse keeps going out of the window when I try to move the camera. I don't like using the WASD keys to move the camera since I'm used to move the camera around with my mouse in other games. Is the any fix to this? I'm not a fan of third-party programs that can fix the issues.

You could try dual monitor tools
http://dualmonitortool.sourceforge.net/
It has various features including locking cursor onto the monitor it's currently on which you can toggle via a hotkey.
I used it for gta 4 which has the same problem.

I am actually happy it does this. I usually run other programs on my second monitor that I go over to all the time while playing. I prefer to use the WASD keys to move the camera.

I agree with Poofius, I can now browse the web or watch a few tv series of whatever on my 2nd screen, without any interruption of the game

Thanks , for the info on this tool package. I used it to place 3 seperate wall papers on three
seperate monitors all having different screen resolution. Never knew of that toolkit before!
Worked fine on my Win7 64bit box.
Didn' t try the locking feature tool as I actually prefer easy access to 2nd monitor when
in a game on main screen, unless it is a problem game.

i use single monitor setup. but this should still work. most of my games wouldn't lock to screen but i found the answer. having a console open whether it be task manager or volume mixer can disrupt this. try closing any before playing. the mouse should then lock to the screen

Echt Spitze, dass es dafür keine Microsoft-seitige Lösung gibt, diese Third-Party Scheiße ist mir viel zu unseriös
