Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in the center of the screen. UI bug.

Running the game in Win 8 compatibility mode fixed it for me. I hope this helps you guys.

    I got the game mid-May and this was the first major issue I found. Was disappointed when I started looking for a fix and found its been reported since March. Now July and its still an issue. I've read solutions saying not to run a certain monitoring program and not to use overlays. I don't use that monitoring program though I do tend to use FRAPS. Even with FRAPS off the cursor will still get stuck. Tried disabling Origin's overlway both for the game specifically and overall in Origin's app settings but the problem persists. Not really an issue in MP unless you are hitting escape to check your score but its brutal in SP, what will all the containers and conversations etc etc, each with a chance to cause this problem.

    I'm running Win 7 64-bit, so I can't try the Win 8 compatibility.

    I had this problem occasionally before but over the past few days it is happening all the time. I either have to bring up the menu or, if during a cutscene, hit the Windows button to show the task bar, then go back to the game. Never had anything like this in DAI so it seems to just be an MEA issue.

    This kind of issue is almost always related to a background task taking focus away from the active application. I used to have it a lot with BF2 several years ago, and had to prune Windows to make it stop. Alt+Tab or Alt+Enter to switch to desktop and back to full screen will normally fix it.

    First I suggest a clean boot procedure (google for guide). Then run the game and see if it still loses focus. If it doesnt, its a program you have causing it. If it still loses focus, its likely the mouse driver or windows power settings.
