Let My Pointer Go!

OK, fine, I understand. The game does things behind the scenes during cutscenes, so we can't have a "Skip Cutscene" button in missions. But some of them are long, and some missions have too many that I've seen over and over and OVER again. So usually, when I see a cutscene start up, I alt-tab over to a web browser until the cutscene ends.

But Champions has this stupid thing where, as soon as a cutscene starts, the mouse pointer snaps to the center of the screen every 1-2 seconds, making it impossible to do anything with it.

STOP IT.

Hijacking my input devices is NOT COOL. Can we PLEASE remove this "feature" from cutscenes? Is there even any good reason why it happens?

The mouse is free in Fight Club so it can certainly be done.

What causes that to happen is if you enter the cutscene while the game is actively using the cursor. This happens when either aiming the camera with said mouse (right click camera) or when playing in FPS/Action modes. If you enter the cutscene without RMB pressed, you can freely minimize the game without the mouse being stuck. The alternative, if you have steam, is to open the steam overlay up.

But in any case, robbing mouse control is bull**** and should be done away with.

I only walk forward. I turn by rotating the camera with the mouse. I almost ALWAYS have the right mouse button down.

That explains why it doesn't happen when I know a cutscene is about to start and switch to my browser before it does.
