Cursor disappears when looking at population details

In SimCity 5, when I bring up the population panel, details tab, my cursor disappears.  I can select buildings, but not menu items.  Esc, Esc, and  Alt+F4 gets me out of the game.  On restarting the game,  the cursor is back.  Looking at population details is sure discouraging, however .

    Hi alalus,

     

    We've forwarded this issue to the SimCity Dev Team so that they can take a look at it and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

    I was able to get my mouse cursor back by closing the window with ESC and then doing a right-click somewhere on your city (this will trigger the mouse scrolling which should then bring back the cursor). Hope it helps, it's not a real solution but definitely better than restarting the game 🙂

     

    Cheers, 

    Dennis

    @WATCH_YO_BACK24 - This issue was fixed with a patch, although I have seen some reports that it still happens for some. The original fix is to right-click anywhere on the SimCity map to get your cursor back.

    You may be able to stop this happening by checking your mouse settings. Some custom mouse schemes or displaying mouse trails will interfere with the way the cursor works in SimCity.
