Summarize your bug Since an update a few months back, my mouse cursor is not switching to the Battelfield one, it's persistently showing the Windows mouse cursor icon. Everything works but this used to work. It doesn't matter if the the display is set to Windowed, Full Screen, or Borderless. In Borderless, when you slowly drag the mouse, you can see it flickering, as it rapidly switches between the Battlefield icon, and windows icon. I have no overlays running.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Run PC version on dual monitor, in full screen.
What happens when the bug occurs? The mouse icon is the Windows one, not Battlefield one
What should be happening instead? It should be displaying the Battlefield mouse icon

‌

I'm using a logitech Pro wireless mouse, no other mice, or controllers, no overlays, capture cards etc.

    @OnlyEnemies, perfect, thanks for that. I can see it now indeed. I will pass it on to the teams just in case. 🙂

    @OnlyEnemies, could you upload it to Streamable or YouTube maybe? We can't really open those embedded videos sadly. ☹️

    Here is a video of the cursor glitching, it's more obvious in windowed mode as it resizes the window to something like 720p instead of 1440p. It's unclear if the cursor is switching icon or resizing rapidly. Hope this helps.

    @EA_Leeuw It's not a big issue but I'd like to know if this is what really happened, I'll try to record my screen and post what I observe

    Hey @OnlyEnemies,

    I just tried to repro this, but I was unable to do so. I keep seeing the default Windows cursor, without flickering. So I guess they just removed the in-game cursor.

    I think somewhere during a Season 2 update, the cursor started to default to Windows one, prior to that there was a Battelfield specific one which was larger.

    If you set the window mode to borderless, and move the cursor you can see that it flickers rapidly, and that the icon switches from the Battelfield one to windows one.

    I don't think the linked issue is the same

    There is (or was?) a specific Battlefield 2042 mouse cursor?

    This is, and I am pretty sure always was, mine (Windows default). Was yours different?
