(window's default) mouse cursor appearing whenever I click

Hi all!

I was replaying the whole trilogy on PC recently, and noticed a minor annoyance on mass effect 2.

Whenever I click on my mouse in-game, the 'Window's default' mouse cursor briefly appears in front of the game's mouse cursor.

Whenever I click something, or shoot, the windows cursor rapidly appears, and is quite annoying.

Is there any solution to this? or am i the only one who is experiencing this?

I'm playing on windows 10 without any mods installed ☹️

Origin Ver.

win 10 x64

gtx 980

8gb ram

i7 3770

Thanks in advance!

I figured out the reason:

The problem was caused by my "Korean' keyboard.

GTA 5 has a tendency to disable international keyboards into English only keyboards, causing ME2's cursor problem to solve itself after running GTA 5, because my keyboard is now English only (lol)

I'll have to turn my keyboard into English-only keyboard when playing ME2 from now on 🙂 (very easy to do, one-click away).

Sorry to hear that.

According to your DxDiag you only have one hard disk, so you reinstalled the game too, right?

If so the only ideas I have left are setting your Monitor to full 60Hz respectively 59Hz ( DxDiag shows 59.951Hz) and maybe tray the HDMI Port of your Monitor and trying different settings in the game graphic menu and the NVCP.

I'll try tinkering with that!

Regardless of the outcome, thanks for all the advice 🙂

Holly *!! the problem solved itself!

I just installed GTA V to my PC, and ME2's cursor problem is now gone!!

I'm guessing the problem was related to some directx thing....

Anyway, thanks!

Who have thought that GTA5 could do such thing? 😉 🙂

Good to hear and thanks for posting the solution!

Have fun gaming.

@jamyo I'll also add my thanks to the thread. 🙂

You probably know this already, but Alt & Shift is the default keyboard shortcut to toggle between languages, which might be even quicker than the swapping method you use already.

@jamjyo Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming and posting the solution even you said it was already solved for you.

I've been having this problem with a different game the last couple of days and couldn't find any solution after visiting a lot of websites until I ran into your post. So, many years later you've helped this fellow folk, I just registered to give my thanks to you, thanks a mill!
