Mouse pointer disappears 6 times out of 10 after clicking out of full screen game
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I run a dual monitor set up and either hit escape or tab to move the pointer over to my second monitor to either look something up or multitask. When the game is reopened the pointer is gone most of the time and can not be seen. Making inventory interaction nearly impossible. The mouse pointer is still working because I can see it highlighting things while I can not see the pointer itself. It appears the only way to correct this is to force close the game and reopen. Perhaps a border-less windowed mode could be implemented?

started games then immediately tabbed over to second monitor 20 times, 12 times the mouse pointer was gone. This trial was after numerous times this happened while trying to play casually.

Additional Information

Put over 100 hours into the standalone in the past 1.5 weeks. This issue was constant and by far the most frustrating.

Hello CylonToast and thank you for the report.
Unfortunately we were unable to reproduce the issue you have described.
Could you please post your dual monitor display settings to this ticket, and possibly more detailed reproduction steps?

Geez

Hello CylonToast.
We would like to know the actual Windows settings.

Two twenty seven inch Asus PB278Q monitors set up in 5120x1440, both set in landscape as "extended" displays. Main display on the left, secondary on the right.Games play on main screen it's when clicking over to secondary screen the issues occurs. both monitors run in 60 hertz, True 32 bit color.
Windows monitor driver version 6.1.7600.16385. Did I miss anything?

As for more detailed reproduction steps: Game is open in left monitor. I hit tab to open inventory and produce the mouse pointer. I then slide it to the right of the edge of the screen of the first monitor to my secondary monitor where I have usually some chrome pages open. When I select chrome the game closes and after I have finished using the secondary monitor I select the windows task bar DayZ application pin to reopen the game taking me to where I was when I clicked out. 6/10 times this resulted in no curser/pointer available on my dayz inventory screen and I would have to force command the program to shut down and then restart in order to get the cursor to appear again.

Is that sufficient?
