Double cursor when playing Skyrim SE

When I play Skyrim SE in full screen mode the default Mac cursor appears in addition to the in-game cursor whenever I click my mouse close to the top border of the screen. I tried different things and nothing worked: I have "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows" turned on in Wine configuration. I have Hot Corners disabled. I set menu bar and the dock to automatically hide. None of these things worked. I would be grateful if anyone could suggest what to do.

Hi,

same issue here. I played Skyrim before Sequoia 15.1 and it runs without the double mousepointer in the game. It has something to do with the MacOS Version i think. Please dear Crossover Team, fix that.

The only way to play proper woithout that anoying double mousepointer, to run Skyrim in Windowmode. But it kills a lot of atmosphere in the game an to have a good performance on a big 4k monitor, you have to turn the resolution really down. That cant be the solution.

I had/have the cursor issue in all games. Found a Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/l3pc13/m1_mac_mini_mouse_cursor_showing_up_ingame/) that had part of answer and I found the key "for me".

System Preferences:Accessibility: Turn off Shake Mouse Pointer AND Auto-Play Animated Images in same place and that is holding for me Disabling Shake didn't work by itself. I also CMD-Tab multiple times and that holds for a while or used to before the above.

Also, I use this in Terminal. It keeps Auto-Hiding docks from intruding. DO NOT USE if you don't understand what it's doing or how to disable it: defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 1000 && killall Dock

For those searching for a solution, I’ve noticed that the Dock seems to be the root cause of the issue in my setup. The cursor appears when it moves over the Dock, and since I keep mine on the left side of the screen and always play in first-person, I often slam the cursor into the screen edges when moving or turning quickly. This results in the double cursor issue happening frequently—too frequently for “temporary” fixes to be acceptable.

Workarounds like Alt-Tabbing, Cursorceror, etc., are more annoying than helpful. As a sneaky assassin, clicking on the wrong things breaks immersion and makes gameplay frustrating. If anyone has a permanent fix, I’d love to hear it!

Hi everyone I haven't had a chance to see how this performs for me yet but someone (actually all) should submit a ticket regarding this issue so they know it's not a one-user issue. My son, I think bought that for our account I'll try to test it tonight as well. If anyone gets a response to their ticket please post it here so others will know what's shaking with this weird bug.
