When holding my right mouse button and using the mouse to look around, the cursor used to appear back at the point on the screen where I originally pressed my right mouse button.

Now the cursor will snap to the projected screen location of where my mouse would have moved after releasing the right mouse button. This is causing me to lose my mouse cursor or when placing ground effect abilities, it causes a delay in placement which effects game play.

Please return this back to where it used to be.

I cannot reproduce this issue, I have tried for the last 30 minutes in differnt settings fullscreen, windowed, on an alternate monitor.. each time i tested my mouse came back to within 1cm of where i originally click-dragged from.

But on the otherhand, the cursor is terribly easy to lose in the fray of battle.
Much like the Bags o Loot and the Wooden Chests.
Everything in this game is a shade of brown from light sand to dark caramel. EVERYTHING.

My game just crashed and when I went back in I wasn’t having the problem anymore. I think somehow I was active on the desktop and the game at the same time which caused an unsync with my mouse. regardless, at least its gone!

Also, I am sure it wasn’t due to “fray of battle” because I sat in one spot and tested the mouse location with a ground targetable spell, it would snap to a new location on right mouse button release.

Another thing it may have been is a program called synergy which I use to run both my machines if I ever need to, so I don’t have to jump up and down between the two. So that may have caused odd effects in game. I since disabled it just in case.

If they are close enough to see the screen, you should check out Mouse-Without-Borders

Disable the hotkeys for it, just let it act as if it’s a second/third monitor by mouse-over… you’ll be hitting CTRL alot during gaming and “CTRL-CTRL-CTRL” is a hotkey for “control all PCs” which makes all your keystrokes/mouse movement mimic on all your PCs

Yeah, haven’t found a hotkey to enable/disable real easy (it’s wife’s computer and sometimes I would mouse onto her screen and freak her out on accident) so the disable easy mouse function works well enough for that I guess.

It does work better than synergy. I got the two screen thing going mostly because I was playing gw1 and wife wasn’t interested, so 2 boxing some characters in that to get achievements/titles in gw2 for us. One problem synergy had was that the mouse look functions would spaz out and spin really fast on the second monitor. This one does the same but it had an easy check box fix. Synergy I had to make a lock screen button and quickly hit that on my keyboard to do anything on the other screen.

Additionally this program lets me share the clipboard, so now I can copy and paste text or files over to her without helping her navigate through the share folders. Nice little bonus!

Thanks for the tip on mouse without borders!
