Mouse Cursor

[MaximusX800]

Anyone else noticing this?

The mouse cursor doesn't seem to be hiding when using an XInput device to play the game.

It has the same problem that RE HD had, but at least in that one it used the system cursors, in this one its a custom one, i rather get it for console

You should be able to just move it to the right and it will go off-screen.

Just put it at the side of the screen so it dissappears.

I can understand if you use mouse/keyboard for the game that you would complain having the mouse cursor on screen. But playing with gamepad and still complaining? You can be happy that the game engine does not reset the mouse cursor into the center of the screen everytime a cutscene starts like in Metal Gear Rising.

I can't test this just yet, but have you tried Windowed Borderless Gaming?
https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases

I use it for the few games that have trouble in Windows 10 with pixel border issues and stuff, but you can turn all that off, and just select the"no mouse cursor" option after you launch the game. It will then save that profile every time you launch it.

My only thought is that this might not work because the game uses its own image file for the mouse... but it's worth a shot. I'll try it later if you don't and report back.

that program is a buggy mess. gedosato has that both borderless window, real window, AND hide mouse cursor features.

It can be buggy. But yeah, whatever works...

I've noticed a glitch in this game when placing the cursor off screen. When transitioning sometimes the mouse buttons no longer work until you move the cursor back on screen. Since I prefer using left and right click to aim/shoot opposed to keyboard controls for that moving the cursor off screen isn't an option. I wish they'd just remove the cursor until you open up an inventory/map page as the cursor is completely pointless in game.

Its only an issue when I'm using my Steam Link to stream the game to my living room, and I know that all other RE titles have a function that auto hides the cursor once a XInput device is detected. Just asking if others have experinced this, and in hopes that Capcom will see it and fix it in a future update.

I have the solution. I have modified Ritchey's AutoHotKey script for Resident Evil HD Remaster, so that it also works with RE0. Here are the instructions:

1. Create a Notepad File
2. Copy the code below into the Notepad File and save it as "RE0.txt"
3. Download AutoHotKey and open "Convert .ahk to .exe"
4. Set the .txt file as the source file. Name the .exe file as "RE0" and click "Convert"
5. Run the RE0.exe file every time you want to play the game and have fun!

I got stuck on the part where you had to convert the *notepad* file to an exe through the AHK converter program however I figured out you dont create a notepad file but instead you right click on your desktop after installing AutoHotKey and go over to "new" and you should see "New AutoHotKey Script" and that brings up a notepad file labeled as .ahk. You paste the code provided above in there then name it RE0 or whatever then you should see it pop up in the converter and I can confirm it works in game. Just thought I should clear this up for anyone doing this recently since it confused me when I first read it.
