mouse flickering

from Sins Forums

i just reinstalled sins entrenchment with the concept of playing and getting the new addon if i got back into playing it like i used to. rt now the game is basically unplayable as the cursor keeps flickering- sometimes dissapearing for 2-4 secs.

i just upgraded my comp to a faster intel gpu, faster nv gpu, ssd, & dbl ram. all drivers and os r same.

any & all help appreciated.

ive looked all over the place but most references r t owin xp or things ive tried. it only happens in sin so i figure its got to be a setting of some kind-just dont have a clue.

A hardware cursor option was added in Diplomacy, but if you only have Entrenchment your best bet is to double check that your video drivers are the latest available directly from the manufacturer, and to disable pointer trails (or any other unusual mouse options you may have) if you have them on in Windows.

ty for response.

 unfortunatley i have latest vid & mouse drivers  &i disable pointer trails,etc just becuase of sillyness like this. what makes this so frustrating is i have played this game just fin under win 7 before. only difference is the hardware upgrades mentioned above.
