Re: Mouse pointer goes missing randomly. Can't Self Revive during game.

Doesn't really solve the mouse being missing, but I think you're able to use the keyboard to self revive.

I believe it's either Spacebar or 2 (whatever your 2nd ability is set to)

    Many games have pointer troubles running windowed.  If you aren't using the entire desktop now, give a full screen view of the game a try (you might even test whether switching in and out of full screen doesn't rekindle the pointer).

    Yup already running fullscreen mode and I've tried alt-tabbing out and back, also tried switching to windowed view when it happens, pointer refuses to come back once its gone (only game that's done this so far which is strange).

  • Hrmm well I tried several keys and none of them would self-revive, what an odd issue lol. even tried the Repair Install option in Origin.

    I figured out how to get the mouse pointer to re-appear by pressing the TAB key which brings up current list of players, Pointer comes back at this point,  In case anyone else comes across this problem.
