Windows Cursor showing up in Skyrim in addition to game curs

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:44 am

Steam just auto-updated Skyrim on 6/11/12 and now when I play the game I see the windows cursor aimlessly flying around. It's very distracting and almost impossible to play with, anyone know a fix for this or any way to rollback to a previous version? This has happened before but I was always able to fix it by alt tabbing or some other random luck but not anymore.

Yup, this was a well-known issue with the 1.6 beta...hasn't been fixed in the final. For the record, in testing the beta we found that the only screen you can safely alt-tab out of without causing the Windows cursor to appear is the tab/quick menu (you know, the one with four compass points for the map/items/etc?). Bring that up and then alt-tab out of the game and back in. That should keep the Windows pointer from appearing.

It won't get rid of the extra cursor if you've already got it, though. Only way to do that is to exit the game and reload.
