I am using Hayden's V0.3 fix, with the newly patched Skyrim. I have noticed there are some mouse glitches. In the load screen, the mouse pointer was on screen, and it seemed disconnected from the Skyrim mouse pointer. After Alt-Tabbing a few times, the two synced up and I was able to control the in-game pointer to start the game.

Also, I have noticed that in conversations (and other times) I lose the ability to choose options with the mouse. I can still rotate my view slowly while in conversation, but the mouse pointer is nowhere to be seen.

I have had the second mouse issue prior to the patched skyrim, and I am not sure it is related to the fix tool, just thought I would mention it. Not game breaking.

The center monitor is the only place the mouse pointer shows up. However it is also on the monitor to your right, you just can't see it there, the pointer goes out of view on the right monitor. The monitor to your left you can't move the mouse on to.

This is probably what you're talking about?

In other words, if you drag the pointer off the center screen to the right it will disappear but it won't stop till it hits the right side of the right screen. Its there, you just can't see it.

This is probably because the menus and what not are offset by one monitor width from the left side. So the mouse is active on both the center and right screens, you just can't see it when it on the right screen. Only on the center.

If the mouse disappears or goes 'out of sync', mouse back to your left till the mouse is back on the center monitor and you should see the pointer again. You had control of it the whole time :)

I have been using this. It works well enough but it's for regular inventory only, it doesn't do anything for the spells. The only other problem is when you go to a vendor and they have varying items to sell, your list gets cut short. I hope this gets fixed down the road.

I'm a lurker. I joined this mess just to throw you kudos. I know a lotta people here have gone out and thrown down for the whole eyefinity setup, but I've been putting one together for a really really long time... my 3x1 setup involves 1 16:9 and two 16:10 screens so my side vision is kinda stretchy...
This was the very first game I *REALLY WANTED* to play with Eyefinity, and thanks to you I've been able to. Although it'd be rad to read books/etc I don't care. I'm too busy killing dragons on three #$%$%# screens :)
Thanks A Million Dude. You, are the ultimate badass :D

ok was doing fine with version 0.3..
then of course i tried the 0.4a and 0.4b, and now map viewing is all broken again..

back to 0.3 again, unfortunately, still hard to read map, everything moves according to mouse movements..
0.3 is now infected as well..

argh......

Hello,

Thanks for your software.

Is there a solution for the problem with the mouse on the left screen?
It's strange because the problem never occur on the map.

The boring stuff is that since you cannot click on yes or no, it's blocked, and the only to go out is to kill the process and restart it.

No solution?
Because it still more boring that what I thaugh. After some mission, a popup message appears and you have to click on OK. If your mouse is locked on the left screen, you are stuck since the message is on the center screen.
I killed the dragon two times. After the first time, I received the popup message and I was stuck.

Up to now, I don't know what cause the beginning of the mouse blocked on the left screen. I mean when I start the game and at least for some times, the mouse can move on the three screens.

The only good news is that reload the game and the savegame is quick... when you don't forget to save before to start some menu.

I had read some people mention this however I have never struck it, even after hours of gaming... how often does it happen? if it happens instantly then something is not right.

Are you sure the hack was not simply deactivated with the hotkey ( PLUS OR MINUS + -) - did you try toggling the enable/disable hotkey?

Post by **thales100** » 23 Nov 2011, 10:51

It seems the new patch for the 4GB memory allocations breaks 3D Vision..since the game is loaded using a different exe name and no 3D Vision profile is being loaded.... Still looking for a workaround for this

Thanks, thats really great. 8)

Each time that I play.
When I start the game, it always works fine, and I can use the menu more than one time. But after some time, it happens.

I tried -+ whitout success.

This evening, I'll do some tests to see if I can find the sequence of actions that cause the problem.

Post by **thales100** » 23 Nov 2011, 12:14

Yes, steam version. I can either run skyrim via the unmodified launcher or run the tesv.exe process itself. Same result.

Hey BobMarkinson, ive contacted HaYDeN, can you please make sure you have C++ Redistributable installed ?
It shouldnt be a problem in 32 bits OS since the app itself is 32bit, runs as 32bit on a 64bit operating system.

Are you running mouse software or just default windows control of your mouse?

The reason I ask is because a few other people (not many) have reported this issue and I'm sure there's a common denominator.

I'm using a razor mouse with razor software utility and have never experienced the mouse stuck on the left screen.

There may be another problem. There were actually two mouse pointers on the screen, the windows mouse pointer which I had intermittent control over, and the Skyrim pointer which was motionless.

I'm using a controller, 4b, launch the game w/ TESV.exe (not updated - refuse to log onto Steam for the moment) and I noticed the cursor pop up in play last night. I just moved it to the far right and kept truckin'. First time that has happened. Maybe it didn't get stuck because I use a controller.? Just throwing it out there.

i get this after alt-tabbing sometimes. if you alt tab again (sometimes it even takes two more times) it seems to go away.

also my mouse has always never moved onto the left screen. when in menu or inventory, i assumed since the inventory is centered to the middle, why would i ever need i to? doesnt seem to matter as nothing is over there to click on. i can move it over there in the map though n/p.

and my mouse does move to the right screen, and i can see it. all the time. in inventory, menus etc. it moves right and is still visible. it does occasionally dissapear when its over on the right monitor though. again, doesnt matter as long as it works on the middle one. i did get it lost over on the right once or twice though, but just moving it left either makes it visible again or just brings it to the middle screen

Ok I found how to reproduce it, it's when I use the map.
One time I used the map, the mouse is blocked on the left screen (except for the map).

On the MAP I can see the pointer on the center screen and I think it can go on the right screen, even if I can't see it. But I can't go on the left screen. If I do a disable via the hotkey, I can see and move the pointer on the three screen.
But it doesn't change anything for the other menu. One time I used the map, the pointer is blocked on the left screen.

Odd as it sounds, HaYDeNs fix can be messed up (both 0.4A and 0.4B) by changing some of the ini items. For example: iShadowMaskQuarter=5 will cause everything in the UI to be shifted whereas iShadowMaskQuarter=4 works fine.

Therefore, to people having wierd issues, you might want to revert your ini's back to default to check if they are working, then apply changes one by one until something breaks. Thats what I had to do.

I suspect this is the difference between people who use 0.4A and 0.4B also.

-----------------

Additionally confirming that I can't use my mouse on the left screen at any time, and pointer doesn't show up on right. Doesn't really break anything for me so I haven't minded but.. figured I'd chime in.
