  • same issue, cursor disappears after pressing "ESC" when "Clamp mouse cursor to game window" is enabled

  • Same issue when using DX12. The mouse pointer just disappears. You need to hit ESC a few times or back out to the main menu to see it again.

  • I have a similar issue connected to the mouse clamping - I have two monitors and the cursor is ALWAYS on the screen now, and if I move over to the other monitor and click fire it minimizes Apex.
    So I need to be aware of not letting my cursor move to the other monitor.
    It moves weather clamping is on or off. It didn't do this before you added the "clamp option"

    Respawn, please fix.
