2 pointers

[rupertb 0]

I just found out that you can play OFP in a window. I tried this and it worked except there are 2 pointers visible. I tried nearly everything but there are still 2 pointers. Can somebody please help me

Besides the question why you would play OFP in a window, have you set the same resolution in Windows and OFP?

If yes then try running OFP in a lower resolution and refresh rate then the one set in windows.

That solves the problem with full screen but no idea if it helps too if you run it in a windows.

Windowed mode is preferable when testing scripts or addons, as you can alt-TAB instantly between OFP and any other windows program, rather than having to wait ~2 seconds for the screen to reset when changing in and out of fullscreen mode.

AFAIK, programs can "disconnect" the standard windows mouse cursor, but OFP does include this single line of code. I sure hope I'm wrong though

I use a high mouse acceleration in OFP, so the OFP cursor moves about twice as far as the windows one. You can also try using two screens - ofp fullscreen on the primary and whatever else on the secondary.

I wrote a little program a while back to lock the cursor so it won't activate other windows (toggle with CTRL+L). Sometimes the toggle acts a little strange so you might need to tap ctrl or L once before it will work, something with the return value of GetAsyncKeyState(). I guess it would be possible to also hide the cursor but locking it was enough for me.

Here's the lockmouse.exe and here's the source if you're paranoid about downloading compiled programs: lockmouse.cpp

Changing in game resolution fixed it for me. much less distracting now.

In windowed mode ?

Had it too a few days ago: every time i started up opf it would show two mousepointers.

Found out that two times alt-tabbing solved it.
