Planescape: Torment Tips

Flickering mouse cursor and mouse cursor artefacting - fix for GOG edition

The GOG version of this game come with the ddraw fix mod enabled. It needs to be disabled and here's how to do it:

  • open CX bottle management window and select the bottle where Planescape is installed
  • click on the Run Command button and type wineconsole cmd 
  • in the window that appears type the following: C: then cd "GOG Games" then cd "Planescape Torment" 
  • when you are in the game's dir type:  setup-ddrawfix.exe
  • you will notice that "2] Force DirectDraw Emulation and Cursor Artifact Toggle " is marked as currently installed
  • press u as per on-screen instructions to have the fix uninstalled

This should fix that annoying mouse cursor flicker and artefacting. 


Note: I assume that you installed the game in it's standard location which is c:\GOG Games\Planescape Torment

Adjust the above path as/if necessary.
