Mouse cursor non-functional


(Chief) #1

Hello all, I have the following issue:

Whenever I start up Brink the mouse cursor is stcuk in the middle of the screen and won’t move whenever I use the mouse. As a result I cannot make any modifications to my character from the start screen up. I can join games using the browser and everything works fine there, as pointing with the mouse etc creates no problems whatsoever.

Any other game I play works fine, Windows based operations work fine etc. I also have two mice which I both tried and they each create the same issue, thus clearly indicating this isn’t just hardware malfunctioning but the game itself screwing up somehow.

To summarize:

  • Two different mice both give the same issue
  • All other games/demos/programs work fine with both mice
  • Restarting Brink, restarting Steam or even rebooting the actual PC have no effect

Anyone else who has had or has this problem? The idiotic thing is that when I installed the game everything worked fine and this problem only arose like a few days ago.

Have you tried disabling RAW input? In your steam launch options add +m_rawInput 0

Tried it, didn’t work. Still have the same issue :frowning:

When the mouse doesn’t work at launch, try the following:

  1. Open the console (ctrl+alt+`)
  2. in_restart

Please reply with your results.
