The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Forum

I have installed the steam GOTY Oblivion with no problems. It starts perfectly in full screen (windowed mode crashes instantly), however a major issue occurs for me. The mouse cursor constantly moves downwards. This means that I cannot start a new game at all or do anything really as I cannot click on it. Does anyone have a solution? I also have the same issues with the steam GOTY Morrowind.

I am running Crossover Games 8.0 on a Macbook 2.4GHz, 4GB ram, OSX 10.6.1.

Thanks in advance for any help

Have you tried switching on "Emulate a virtual desktop" in winecfg -> Graphics tab? Set the game screen size smaller than your display size, set the virtual desktop size equal to the game screen size, and keep the game at full screen. I have no idea whether or not this would work, it's just an idea that popped in my head.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot for that advice

Hey, I'm having the same problem but I don't quite understand what you're saying. Could you please dumb it down a bit?
Thanks,

Hey. I didnt understand either, but i fould out, and will explain. Open CrossOver. There should be an open window now.
Press manage bottles in the window, and another window should pop up. Now press winecfg and then "launch selected item"
There should be a option-window there. press "graphics", and check "allow virtual desktop"
now set the size to whatever youre game is set to. Choose launch in fullscreen from the pre-game menu, and there you go.
The mouse works now, though you have to look at the apple bar while playing.

On crossover games 8.2, the problem appears when running in full screen but with a lower resolution than the OS X desktop.

No need for a virtual desktop, just lower the OS X desktop resolution to match that of fullscreen oblivion. This sorted out the mouse 'drift' for me.

I'de Turn off hardware mouse acceleration in the crossover configuration window, also you might try different window sizes etc as this also happened to me when trying to run KOTOR 2 on crossovers a few versions ago.

Best of luck
