Apex Legends - In Game, White Dot In Middle of Screen, And Mouse Does Not Work.

I am having an issue that when I am in the in game main menus, settings menu, or character selection, my mouse acts and responds fine. When the game loads, and I am finally in game, a white dot shows on the screen right in the middle, and a cursor arrow is present. The cursor is stuck to where the white dot is facing, so I have no control to look around. My keyboard (WASD) works just fine, so I can move freely, but due to the white dot, I am stuck facing in just the one orientation. No ability to look around. I have mashed every key to hopefully turn off to no success.

I have repaired the game, performed a clean boot, uninstalled Apex, re-installed, uninstalled Origin and re-installed as Admin, and re-installed Apex, plus reset ALL settings to default.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using Discord by chance? I had the same issue and I think it was after I enabled in-game overlay for Apex in Discord settings. I just tried disabling it and quitting Discord. Restarted Apex and it seems to be working for now.

I had the same issue, but for me it only occurs when both Discord overlay and Origin overlay are running. With that said, I also have the NVidia overlay running as well, and I haven't tested it with that overlay off.

In case there is still an answer needed:
Go to Origin -> Applicationsettings -> More -> Origin ingame
Disable Origin ingame! (maybe restart Origin)
now you should be able to play without the mouse bug again.
Worked fine for me

I've been having the same issue for the past few weeks. thinking back what could have started it all was that i changed the key bindings for my discord and origin overlays then added the key bindings to my G keys on my logitech keyboard and more then less i have the same issue none stop -___-

It is caused by Origin In-game overlay being turned on.
In Origin - go to application settings--> More--> In-game--> Toggle it off. Problem solved - though very disappointing that they have not yet fixed this.
