Guild Wars 2

I have had this issue as long as I can remember, but im finally getting sick of it enough to report it here. Hopefully someone else has a solution to this problem and can help me out.

I play guild wars 2 in fullscreen mode. But every once in a while and sometimes multiple times in an hour my mouse will leave my primary screen and go to one of my secondary monitors. When I click (either left or right) it will minimize my game and go to my desktop and then either right click or left click where the mouse was on my desktop.

If I bring the mouse back into the game before clicking it will continue to function normally and will lock back into the game screen until the problem happens again.

NOW ANOTHER issue I have is my mouse will sometimes not leave the client at all and when I click one of the buttons it will minimize the game regardless and click on the desktop.

Normally I would play in borderless fullscreen, but ANET doesn’t have a “lock mouse to window” option (amazing in this day and age; also considering all of their other plethora of features)

Does anyone have this happen to them as well or know of a solution?

Im using a logitech g9x mouse with the logitech software on a windows 8.1 64bit client and an amd r290x video card with the latest drivers

This is an old bug. It isn’t just moving your mouse, there’s a click combination that “releases” the cursor outside of it’s fullscreen jail. Like right-clicking to move the camera and moving the cursor to the border at the same time. There’s some old posts on this forum about it. Nope, hasn’t been fixed. You may just have to learn what the click combo is and try to avoid it.

I play a lot these days in borderless window mode myself and learned over time not to move the mouse beyond the edge of the screen.

I see so its not just me, good to know. I try to play in borderless but I lose the mouse too often. White mouse blends into the game way too much. I wish there was a high visibility setting for the in-game mouse.

I played with action-cam for a good amount of time and really got used to it. that seems like the best option right now, but its so annoying having to move my camera to track my target all the time.

I guess im not easy to please. Well thank you for the insight

There’s a small app called Yolo Mouse that players use to grant this wish. It overlays a large blue dot over your mouse cursor. A lot of GvG players use it because knowing the position of the cursor can make or break a match.

thanks for the tip! ill definitely check it out

Im still getting this issue and it has caused me to die multiple times. It happens rarely but when it does it can be at the worst possible time. Im going to keep bumping this until a developer at least acknowledges the problem
