    Does anybody know if it's being worked on/is possible to be fixed/is going to be fixed soon?

    Seriously bummed by this - how does a game spoiling bug stay in after so much time?

    i've got the same thing...
  • HectorHector Member Posts: 23
    Now, I don't know if this is related, but to fix something else I disabled triple buffering and enabled v-sync on my graphics card. It's solved all my graphics related problems so far, so give it a go.

    How much have you played/tested with those new settings? I'll certainly give it a go, thank you!

    Not very much, and the cursor bug just reappeared. So disregard that in relation to this problem, sorry. :////

    I'm sure I saw this elsewhere but can't find it.

    [BUG] When I put the helmet bought from Winthrop onto my Blackguard the pointer vanishes never to be seen again. Also BG:EE then needs to be hard reset through the task manager. I've tried a couple of goes and it was always the helmet that caused this for me.

    [EXPECTED] Pointer shouldn't vanish.

    @Koekenmaker
    Windows doesn't help, if I windows out I still can't close it down, even by clicking on the X icon of the window, hence why the hard reset through the task manager is required.

    Windows Vista - this is pretty much the only issue I've had other than a stuttery intro vid and some weird Minsc not being able to equip his sword due to insufficient strength in the tutorial bug which I can't replicate.

    not alt+tab but alt+enter to play in windowscreen. Hmm no matter maybe you do have another issue but i do know vista is giving mouse troubles in fullscreen mode.

    @Koekenmaker
    Perfect. That worked fine.

    I wonder what is causing it - as soon as I pick up that helmet all goes to pot.

    No idea what is causing it but has something to do with vista all other os's don,t seem to have this problem should be easy for the devs to figure this one out right :P

    This bug was one of the first to be reported, so they've known about it for as long as the game has been out. Mulitple developers have replied and said they're working on it, but I don't think they've come up with a fix yet. I'm sure it will be in the first patch. That and the Raasad Dialogue bug are the two biggest ones they're focused on I think.

    See title. As soon as I click on any item in my inventory my mouse disappears. I can still move it around and click on things but I can't see where I'm clicking. If I alt-tab the mouse image returns until I click back in the game and it disappears again. Makes the game fairly unplayable :(.

    Any solutions?

    Same thing here. Any ideas on how to fix this?
  • hiddenrabbithiddenrabbit Member Posts: 3
    getting the same.. it's not every item. first it was a helmet now it's arrows.... does make it pretty much unplayable
  • Eddie_KaspbrakEddie_Kaspbrak Member Posts: 29
    Ok thanks, I'll just sit back and wait then I guess :)
  • FWHJamesFWHJames Member Posts: 29
    update it only happens when I try and move a stack of arrows
  • kiltzombiekiltzombie Member Posts: 1
    same here. right from the get go. i buy items from winthrop and once i move/equip it my cursor is gone.

    I've got the same problem. Playing in window-mode works to circumvent the problem. Only drawback is that you have to scroll with the arrow keys.

    Same for me as well
    Edit: Seems to be an error in replacing the mouse icon with an item icon, does not happen on all items.

    This seems to be happening for specific video cards. Please list your system specs and OS version.
