I just wake and to my surprise, there was a new patch aviable and says that would fix this issue! "YAY", I though, since I am still stuck in Candlekeep thanks for that. BUT the patch is not working here, I still have the same issue. Running on Vista 64, Nvidia 460gtx up-to-date.
PSS: Hate 2 relativate my previous posts...but i just found a new armor...and guess what..same problem again....Nevertheless...for 5 minutes i was a happy player, lol.
Everything you said was right on. wondering how to get ride of the choppy performance, update my driver? it make combat difficult and is annoying in general.
Yes, driver was up to date, so i downaleds microsoft intell point 7.1, why no try another driver right? well it works great. set the option bake to hardware
@superpyro I'm not sure precisely what the issue is for you here - basically, if you're in full screen mode and getting a disappearing cursor when moving items around in your inventory: DISABLE Hardware Mouse Cursor.
If you didn't have the problem at all to start with, leave Hardware Mouse Cursor ENABLED.
The game always had it on before, we added in the option to turn it off for those afflicted by the problem.
when i open my inventory and select something to drag to a slot my cursor disapears not only in inventory but from entire game only way to fix it is to exit game and go back in but it keeps doing it making the game unplayable
Anyone noticed some strange behaviour of the cursor after the latest patch? It has a bad habit of turning permanently to a "crossed circle". (what is the correct term for this thing?) Especially in the edge of the screen.
The fix for me was to go into baldur.ini and add the line 'Graphics', 'OpenGL Version', '1', under all the other 'movies' and 'graphics' lines, that way i could make the mouse stay and not have the game lag horribly

This has been brought up more than a few times in various places 'cross the forums. It's a zoom related bug, just get back to the default zoom level (or close to it) and the cursor starts behaving normally.
Hey guys, whenever I try to equip imoen with some arrows or remove montarons armor or pretty much do anything with equipping or unequipping someone my mouse pointer dissapears and I have to end task just to shut down the game and reload.
I have tried about a dozen times and this is happening everytime.
This is on wins vista, geforce 8800
First this wont run on my laptop and now I cant even equip people on my desktop... what the hell is going on with this? The game looks beautifull and I want to replay it but it is a nightmare to get working properly. How you manage to do this to a 14 year old game is baffling.
It's nice that a fix exists. It's a bit of a workaround fix though, as it makes the cursor somewhat unresponsive for a few players.
I've been attempting to workaround the workaround. I also use Vista, so we know it's related to Vista's DPI mouse scaling (a problem which causes a few headaches, not just for BGEE).
I set the Windows DPI scaling to 120% which made BGEE cut off at the right and bottom, but the hardware mouse worked - not really a solution though. I tried 110%, and BGEE 'fitted', but the invisible cursor problem re-surfaced.
It looks like some icons are too big for the cursor boundaries in Vista. I wonder if it's possible to alter the icons to be a tad smaller. If I get time I might have a look to see if I can fix it.

You're right though, the mouse becomes laggy and not quite as smooth.
Thank you very much mate...you`ve saved my weekend.
