jwf1776 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) symptom: no mouse cursor when game launched googling "0ad" and "no mouse cursor" did not yield many helpful results, so i will post the solution again to hopefully make it easier to find. create a new local settings file. The path varies by your OS, see GameDataPaths. Open the new file in your text editor of choice, and copy any lines you want to change from default.cfg into the new local.cfg. (usually under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\config paste the the following lines into the local.cfg: ; Disable hardware cursorsnohwcursor = true Edited November 22, 2014 by jwf1776 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Is the cursor missing from the start of the game? Are you running fullscreen or windowed mode? Does toggling that (Alt+Enter) help? Can you attach your system_info.txt from the log directory? (see also GameDataPaths) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwf1776 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 yes missing from start of game, i was running fullscreen,Alt+Enter for windowed mode makes the cursor appear (when nohwcursor = false), returning to fullscreen removes the cursor again,when the cursor is missing, i can move the mouse and get menu items to highlight (like the cursor is invisible)system info:http://1drv.ms/11gol9P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwf1776 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) hmm, i am getting this on other systems also. should i file a bug report for this or troubleshoot it here in the forum more? non-technical users might be installing 0ad for the first time, having the cursor issue, and not ever getting to try out the game...the unique thing about the error on this comp is that the cursor works when pyrogenisys is lauched by user1 but cursor doesn't work when launched by user2 (path to pyrogenisis C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\system)OS : Windows (6.3.9200)CPU : x86, AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon HD Graphics (1x4x1), 3.00 GHzMemory : 8192 MiB; 6337 MiB freeGraphics Card : ATI AMD Radeon HD 6550DOpenGL Drivers : 4.3.12618 Compatibility Profile Context 13.251.0.0; atioglxx.dll (6.14.10.12618)Video Mode : 1920x1080:32 Edited November 17, 2014 by jwf1776 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 If it's installed into User1's home directory, you should only run it from User1's account. Otherwise, there is a good chance that permissions will be incorrect. If you want both User1 and User2 to play the same install, you should install it somewhere that both can access. I don't know why that would cause a problem with cursors though, or if it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
