Mouse bug in main menu
Hi!

Cursor in main menu is like always trying to jump to the first menu item, "start new game".
It looks like this: http://c2n.me/j4xRWV
Tried updating my mouse (Logitech G500) drivers, but that didn't help. Video drivers already latest official. Reboot didn't help either.
That happens with any settings, you can see that in the video I tried Low.
Doesn't matter fullscreen or windowed...

WIndows 7 x64, Core i5 2500k, nVidia GTX670, 32gb ram.

It looks like I am the only one with this problem :(

I decided to give it a try and start the game. After intro video camera view moved to pointing top and started rotating.
Just to be clear - this is the first time I see an issue like this in any game.

Do you have any gamepad plugged into your computer?
skaurus Oct 12, 2014 @ 1:29pm 
Yes, I have - Logitech F710, it was my thought too.
But, firstly, it doesn't work for me in this game (buttons, shifts, arrows, triggers - no reaction at all). Secondly, I tried to unplug its wireless dongle before starting the game - same story...

How about running it in fullscreen?
Just press ALT-ENTER.

I switched to windowed mode just to record the video. It's the same in the fullscreen mode...

Do you have anything else plugged in, a drawing tablet?

No other input devices - just keyboard, mouse and gamepad.
I just discovered that in Device Manager - Mices I have, besides Logitech mouse, four HID-compliant mouses. Tried to delete them, but they are found back on device refresh.
I'll try to find out where are they from (one is probably gamepad but another three...).

Did you try to plug out the gamepad before starting the game yet?

Welcome.

I had a similar problem with the cursor. Cursor fled and flared. I have connected to the computer Logitech steering wheel and hand-made ​​h-shifter. I disconnected the devices and the problem disappeared. Thank you [KKB] derChat for the suggestion.

derChat, yes I tried. Also just tried to plug another mouse instead of Logitech - didn't help...

I have fixed this, but my solution isn't optimal.

First, what was the main clue. Start -> Search box -> start typing "Set up USB game controllers" and click it when suggestion come up.
If your problem is like my problem, you should see there devices like "Unified Virtual HID". I have seen there my gamepad and two HIDs.

Now you have to get rid of them. First one was from Unified Remote program, installed with "driver" option. Second one I was unable to pinpoint... But what I did is that:
* opened Device Manager (Win + R, mmc devmgmt.msc, Enter)
* expanded HID devices branch
* double clicked Unified Virtual HID item
* changed to Driver tab
* clicked Update driver
* search drivers manually
* choose from already installed
* unticked "only compatible" option
* chose some random wheel device
Driver was updated, but device was unable to start (obviously)... And that device was effectively disabled.

After that I had only gamepad in my USB game controllers list and bug was gone!

Since gamepad anyway was set up as default game controller it seems to me as game bug, but I'm happy that it works.

I will be happy if someone would teach me how to find out "parent" of this last Unified Virtual HID :)

And thanks everyone for the help!
