Hi, I keep getting problems with my STO mouse cursor.
usually when i alt tab back to game or maximise back from minimise the game.
sometimes when i log in i see a line of writing saying something likw cursor corrupted - trying to fix....
when i get into game it seems fine.
i alt tab or minimize and come back in and the cursor sometimes changes to a 1cm squard block of transparent pixels.
sometimes the cursor picture (commbadge), alters altogether when i hover over ingame stuff.
it changes generally to an ingame item i have just equipped or dragged/dropped.
sometimes the cursor will completely change to a differant icon like the < > icon for playing chars when you hover over them.
I'm having a ghosting effect that didn't happen in beta. I checked my settings to see if it was something that was changed but didn't notice anything. While not quite the irritant the OP is having it is distracting see my cursor leave a trail half my 22in screen long.
I have the same problem had to turn hardware cursor off and use software to be able to play. Im debating on re installing the game from the dvd from retail to see if that might fix it

Don't bother, I have the retail version and it is just the same. When the game loads you can get a message "repairing corrupt cursor" but it goes by at light speed so you may not even see it. This bug appears to be affecting SLI/Crossfire rigs only (based on posts where user was intelligent enough to say "cursor".
Ive got good specs for puter an one of the best monitors there is.. In space I have good graphics an movement , but on away team Im llaggy and slow response. Is there something I should change in the video department. thats my best guess. But I dont want to downgrade the space experience. ? ?
OK, a little experimentation has shown something on my rig! Run the game in the "Maximized Window" mode. This must force direct mouse control as the mouse works fine. I dont see any performance degredation in windowed mode either, although I would have thought the windows gammas would not be great.
I can confirm its related to SLI. I turned off SLI, and was able to go hours without seeing my cursor was corrupt and crashing, as compared to it failing on log in most times.
Thanks for the Replies guys, much appreaciated.
i'l try turning off sli with sto.
Staghead, if you have problems with your graphics lag, you should have made a post about it, this is for mouse cursors.
However, being as your here. i had gfx lag with my GTX295 only on ground combat. last week or wk before Nvidea bought out a new driver and it fixed the lag issue. try it.
They need different mouse icon options...the mouse icon i get is very small, black with a white outline. It blends right in with the blackness of space and I will will visually lose track of where it is. I remember in one of the versions of the beta, it was bright orange and you couldnt miss it. Different color mouse options would be real nice.
If you have mouse trail turned on. Turn it off. That almost always makes the mouse pointer disappear in games.
It's not mouse trail. It's a bug in the game. And this is the only game on my system that it does it with. I have about 10 games on this computer ranging from Fallout to Borderlands to Mass Effect2 to Mount & Blade and this only happens in this game...

Yeah I'm just gonna bump this thread beacuse it's still happening.
I will occasionally go into a new zone and get the horrible mouse trails. usually it will correct on its own when I change zones again but just now I had to exit and relaunch the game to correct it.
Can we have an update on how this fix is coming? thanks
