Description

When starting the game, the cursor position and the actual position where the game sees the mouse pointing are not the same, i tried a few resolutions and it seems that:

At my native resolution (Full HD 1920x1080) they are the same.
At 1600x900 actual is slightly to the right and down to cursor.
At 1280x720 actual is even more to the right and down to cursor than at higher resolutions.
Im playing Fullscreen Mode.

I think it's got something to do with the game not being able to resize its own UI when the resolution is not screen native.

SOLUTION: Very simple, minimize/switch tasks/etc. and then switch back to the game.

I don't really think this is an issue, it only happens when the monitor doesn't switch resolutions, then you simply do the solution you stated.

Just because there's a work around, doesn't mean it doesn't need fixing.

I agree with Goomer. It is a bug that needs fixing, just because you can fix it in 2 seconds doesn't mean it's ok. It happens everytime the resolution isn't set to screen native so I imagine it could be really annoying.

By the way, i just looked at your Statement again, TakeHomeTheCup.

You didn't get the issue. The monitor switches resolutions just fine. Its just the mouse cursor thats being drawn with an offset to the actual mouse position.

Everything else (Menu items, Fonts, and all their positions) are set up right reagrdless of the resolution.

So it's an issue for people with low graphic power.

I installed Windows onto a new HDD and I now play it on Ultra Settings, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

I have also noticed that the cursor is not resized to fit the in-game resolution, until you alt-tab out and back in.
