dual monitor mouse movement

[Slacker]

just started playing doom and immediately noticed that while playing my icons on my 2nd monitor gets highlighted when i move my mouse around.

is there a way to fix this? the game is running fullscreen

i am not clicking the icons but they still get highlighted when i mouse over them while playing which is rather annoying to look at.

you dont say.... and lets just pretend that i would like to have the monitor turned on because im using it for something....

This happens with a few newer games. The only fix I've come up with isn't a fix... Just have to live with it. There was an old program that would lock your mouse to one screen when gaming, I can't remember the name though.

hmm okay, that sucks =/

Dual Monitor Tools. It locks your mouse to one screen, has lots of customization and you can set up hotkeys to turn it on and off. Once I set this up, I've never had a problem.

Ultramon can do this too "Lock mouse to primary monitor"

Late to the party, but I had this same issue with dual monitors and DOOM(2016) here in 2025. DisplayFusion - a program I have been using for at least a decade, fixes the issue (custom functions > create hotkeys to lock mouse to current monitor). It's not free, but a very useful program that is available right here on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/227260/DisplayFusion/
