Deus Ex Forum

After installing CrossOver Games 9.0, Deus Ex has had the problem of displaying a double mouse cursor.

The game displays both the intended in-game mouse cursor graphic (crosshairs), along with a white standard mouse arrow, overlapping each other. This is a new issue (at least for my configuration) that arose with CrossOver 9.0.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this - I have a ticket open on this issue ;
I'll add your voice to it...

Cheers!

I noticed that, too. But it happens to me seemingly at random. Close, open again, now it's fine. So I thought nothing of it.

Don, I could run some tests if you need them.

I'm running Crossover Games 9.0
OS X 10.6.3.
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 ghz
Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT with 128 mb VRAM

I have this as well, but I have a black mouse stuck in the middle of the screen and another mouse stuck at the top. I can navigate the initial game menus using cursor keys, but in-game, I'm unable to navigate character creation screens, etc.

Is there any possible workaround for this?

Nevermind. Solved it.

Crispy, can you tell us what the solution is?

Thanks!

I finally got the white cursor to stop jumping around by fiddling with resolution settings, but then there's a black cursor stuck in the middle of the screen, which is quite annoying. If I go to "Toggle Fullscreen" it disappears, but then the white cursor is stuck at the bottom of the screen. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

As I mentioned above, the weird mouse business is a quirk introduced
by CXG-9.0 ; it has a support ticket lodged, I know the codeweavers
folks are working on it...we just have to wait a little ...

Cheers!

Edit: I just noticed one of the codeweavers crew posted the following;

[i]- In Crossover Games 9.0 there is an irritating "double-mouse" issue.
This is fixed in the upcoming CX Games 9.1 pre-release builds.[/i]

...so there's your answer ;)

Thanks, Don. That's good to know. In Deus Ex, I cleared this up by adjusting the resolution settings. Although I wasn't able to navigate the normal menus, when I reinstalled (after deleting local content) it gave me a different pop-up kind of menu that I could navigate using my mouse. In that menu, I was able to set the resolution to the screen size on my mac, and from there, it was all good.

The news about the mouse issue, might be good for a couple other games that are still having some mouse issues.

Yeah, I saw your recent postings and noticed you bump into that issue a number
of times...it sems to manifest itself slightly differently from platform to
platform, game to game etc...but hopefully the forthcoming fix will prove
to remedy all those games so affected...<fingers crossed>...
