Mouse/ Curser will not move

I logged into Avorion after the update to 1.0, only to find that my mouse is stuck in the middle of the screen.

If I hit Shift-Tab which brings up the Steam window it frees it for that instance, but if I try to exit the game or go into an alternate window it is stuck again

 

It has never done this till now

I have been trying to figure this out for 4 hours now, reinstalled Avorion - updated to 1.0 now - removed the mouse and re installed- does not matter if it is a saved game or a new game. I am lost at this point - mouse steering is fine -

So hitting F2 to go into keyboard steering mode or holding shift to "unlock" the mouse it won't move from center screen?

 

What happens if you select a station or other ship and interact with it, or hit "P" or "I" to open the player and ship windows?  Or even the map or strategic views?

 

I see a lot of these in your client log:

Client UDP: Error receiving from 127.0.0.1, error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it, received bytes: 0

Which I don't see in my own client logs, so not sure if it's related.

 

I also see you have several out of date mods that are running.  No idea if any could cause the issue, but try disabling just in case?

neither unlock the mouse

does not move unless I hit the Windows key or Shift -tab for Steam

 

also no mods on right now  (same issue)

Does the mouse work in the main menu before starting a galaxy?  If yes, can you try changing your graphics to Windowed mode, exit and restart the game, and see if that makes a difference?  I'm just playing on some (very) wild theories here.  I noticed some other people with issues with the game when in fullscreen (and maybe boardless?) modes, though their issues were not identical, but each of them seemed to work fine in Windowed mode.  At least two so far I think traced back to Windows (the OS) display scaling, but not sure if that could cause yours, too.  Because theirs were not the same but still effected by the same thing, I figure it's worth a try with you, too?

Unfortunately, I'm more or less out of ideas at the moment.  I did some online googling and found other people with similar issues in other games.  It seems like they all trace back to some kind of incompatibility between the game and drivers or corruption of the drivers.  Some games had a "compatibility" version you could select from beta to solve it, others had ini settings or command switches to disable hardware cursor that would fix it.  Yet another person solved it by completely formatting their PC and reinstalling windows and everything over again.

 

I hope a dev sees this.

Hello,

 

I got the same issue. I tried all setup possibilities and followed some tips on Google except formating and reinstalling Windows.

I don't really want to format my computer.. Can this come from a driver issue ?

My guess would be a driver issue or some setting somewhere that is in conflict that a reinstall resets to default.

 

I know the devs have patch in the works for other issues. I don’t know if this is one of them or when they are going to release that patch.

Greetings,

 

i found out there is a problem with windows screen scaling option (buttons/text etc) on 150%!

you gotta change this to 100%(standard) in the windows screen settings menu (sry for your waste of time with reinstalling OS  ;D )

Indeed it's solving the issue amazing !! Thank you wolle and furyofthestars !

 

By the way what is your solution to make it ignored by the app ?

 

Here you go!

 

  • 1) Find Avorion.exe, right-click -> Properties
    2) Click on the Compatibility tab
    3) Click the “Change High DPI Settings” button
    4) At the bottom, tic the check box “Override high DPI scaling behavior” and set the dropdown to Application
