I was playing the game perfectly well on my Surface Pro tablet for months.
Then I had to reformat, and now when I try playing GW2 the cursor is busted.
The actual location of… influence, the cursor has, is not where the cursor is visibly at. For example, I would see the cursor as being dead-center on the screen, but the cursor interacts with things as if it is higher up and to the left. The further down and right I move the cursor on the screen, the larger the variance becomes, such that this “area of influence” basically moves more slowly than the cursor itself.
If I put the game into windowed mode the cursor works fine, but then the camera becomes terribly off-center from my character; too high and left. It also makes everything other than the UI seem zoomed in and low-res, as if the visible area of the game world were much smaller than it should be and stretched to accommodate the screen size.

I actually had this same problem the last time I first attempted to run GW2 on the tablet, but I can’t recall how I managed to fix it. I was sure changing the resolution would fix it, but it didn’t.

Hey Grimwolf. I have a thread that is very similar to the issue you’re describing here. It’s under “Troubling UI bug: ‘Target box’ Stretching”. Hopefully they can figure out what the issue is since we’re using totally different hardware! I’m not having the view/camera off-center issue you are though.

I was mistaken about what happens in Windowed mode. First, the UI is screwed up with the rest. Second, the specific problem is that the actual window is stretched well beyond the boundaries of the screen. The camera is not off-center, I simply cannot see the bottom-right portion of the window because it’s off-screen.
