Guild Wars 2

Hello,

An issue started happening to me today in which the in-game mouse cursor disappears 1-2 minutes after logging in.

I’ve updated my drivers, restarted the game and computer multiple times. It happens if I’m just on the character select screen or in-game with any character; after 1-2 minutes the in-game cursor disappears.

Any ideas?

It is happening to me too, right after going to windows 10. A few other issues too but I’ve clean installed everything now. Are you on windows 10? If you have a solution please be sure to post it, thanks I’d appreciate it a lot.

Update and bump, apologies!

Maybe PM me skype or something like that if you have this issue still and we can figure out if we have any similar programs or situations. If you don’t have this issue, tell me how you fixed it please!

I am using EVGA precision X16, Nvidia 5362 driver. I used to have windows 7 but I recently upgraded to 10. Upon having issues with guild wars 2, I reset comp on windows 10 so only kept files so it is a fresh install now. Issue still persists. I have reinstalled the driver several times with an NVidia based clean install using their installer. In addition, I have turned graphic settings low in gw2 to see if it was anything.
Precision X states gpu is fine on temp.

The issue: I start game, I can log in to my character that is in heart of the mists pvp area. If I roam a bit, eventually the mouse will turn into a grey mouse with a box around it as if the texture for the mouse was weirding out. Afterward, if I even switch the program to another window the mouse will never return to guild wars 2 visually but will work within the window even though it is invisible. I have not stayed in gw2 longer than it takes for that to happen yet.
I have noticed a small flash of the characters upon login screen sometimes. Not sure if related.

UPDATE: I may have found a solution for this.
I have fixed this problem on my computer as far as I can discern for the moment!

Most likely cause for this issue:
EVGA precision x16 and windows 10 do not play nicely with each other and cause various games to have issues.

Fix: Uninstall precision x16. There are several suitable replacements but I installed MSI Afterburner. The features seem to be relatively close as they seem to be designed on the same backbone (Rivatuner).
Upon installing MSI Afterburner (with no precision X anymore) I was able to get things to work correctly. The verdict is out on whether it fixed other issues.

I am -guessing- the error occurs because evga’s latest version (which it says was built for directx 12 and windows 10) was months ago and windows 10 has only recently had a “full release” which probably caused a lot of changes through updates, etc which rendered the evga software unstable.

I am going to -seriously- miss the feature of precision X that gave a warning sound when gpu temp was out of a custom user defined range on certain games. Made me feel safer. Other than that feature, everything seems to be in MSI that was in EVGA.

So yeah, it is EVGA precision X16 causing your issue if you google this and are having problems with guild wars 2 or other games on windows 10 with it installed. I hope I have helped by doing my civic duty of coming back to this thread and updating this.

I reverted back from Win 10 to Win 7 after I had issues with other games. Thank you for posting a solution. After reading it I loged on with it disabled and the cursor problem didn’t happen. I don’t think it’s necessary to uninstall it to play GW2. All that is needed is to disable it.
