Hardware mouse

need an auto-revert option for the Options

April 3, 2005 6:01 PM from

Can mess up the mouse royally by clicking "Hardware Mouse" in the video options if you're system card isn't supporting it, or has it turned off. Result: no mouse.

The video options should have an 'auto-revert' like some other games. A safety menu gives you 15 seconds or so to approve the changes, or else it auto-reverts to the way it was before. Else you have to re-load.

Hmmm...that's weird. Hardware mouse should always works. It just turns off the software mouse, which is the nice pretty image and goes back to using whatever your system cursor is. Can you please send me your debug.err file after messing with the hardware mouse cursor option for awhile? Be sure to include in your e-mail a description of the bug so I know that it's in reference to this issue.

Ran into this problem as well. Another solution might just be to make the menus navigatable with the keyboard only. Each option lights up as I hit tab and allows me to change it, etc. I sent an email to the above address with my debug.err.

EDIT: On exiting out of the game and re-entering, the hardware accelerated mouse is shown correctly.
