Windows mouse showing in game

I can't play the game after the last patch. My Windows mouse shows in game, and I can't do any mouse commands. Unplayable at this point.

I have 160 hours already, so it just started happening.

I have turned off all overlays...EA,Steam and AMD.

    Hey there,

    I reached out to some buddies who mentioned having a similar issue. They said to press the "windows" key and click back into BF. This actually worked. I have to do it each time I open the game up, but it works 100% of the time.

    Weirdly enough, the game settings say I am in Fullscreen yet when I launch the game it is 1/4 of my screen, I am not running any virtual resolution settings in AMD. I have had to do this prior because even though the settings say I am in Fullscreen its not displaying as such. The only remedy was to change it to windowed and back to Fullscreen. I am surprised this has not been reported as its on Reddit.

    Anyways, my issue seems resolved enough to play the game. 

    Thank you for your time Leeuw.

    See you on the Battlefield.

    I have similar and many problems, as many peole seem to be sharing here. Windows mouse showing all the time, game launches in windowed even though settings say fullscreen. I was finally able to fix menu stuck in infinite loading after last update by clearing game cache. Performance is so bad, maps take longer to load, assets don't load in till late into game, and I have rubberbanding and just poor experience. I'm not playing right now because of it. @EA_Leeuw we need fixes! I'll attach my DxDiag if that helps. The windows key or "Alt+Enter" trick failed to fix this by the way.

    Hey @Stekmor,

    It looks like you're trying to report multiple issues with your game in one post. Please don't do this as this derails the thread.

    I have a very similar issue. After the last update my mouse doesn't work until i quit the game and restart, and now after the latest update my fire button left mouse work on a bizzare basis firing once long after push the left mouse button. It worked until the update yesterday. The game is unplayable now.
