mouse capturing probs

[Mabs]

got a few things that developed annoying mouse issues, anyone know of any easy fixes ?

usually Skyrim and Fallout;NV at the moment, as both are using Script Extenders. basically, if you pan too far right and click, it minimizes it and mouse appears in middle of second monitor


any thoughts ?

Playing in fullscreen windowed?

Might be worth grabbing the latest script extender and also if you're modding, try disabling UI mods and see if they affect it.

using script extender, and 58 mods on F;NV

dont have UI mods as they clash with other stuff

Well if reinstalling NVSE doesn't help(assuming you use launcher and not steam workshop), try launching a vanilla game and see if things change. If not, then the problem isn't with mods.

If it does help, try without any mods but -with- NVSE.

If that also works, then try disabling mods one by one until stuff works and you got your culprit and then it's easier to see the problem.

Sherlock that b*tch

i think its NVSE that causes it :/

I'll try and figure something out when i get home, can't promise anything ofcourse

EDIT: Seems it's a common problem and not script extender related, try this for starters;

"Bring up the game in Windowed mode, move the Skyrim window into the screen you want to play it in full screen later, then using the mouse EXIT Skrim.

Switch Skyrim back to full screen mode, and your problem is gone."

Then could try if it happens after/before alt-tabbing.

Then try not to move your mouse until a bit later into the main menu loading(aka launch game, let a bit of time pass, then try).

Then there's possibly this; http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/41381//?

It's just losing focus isn't it?

It happens all the time on my dual-monitor setup but I can lock the cursor to a particular screen easily so I just kinda got used to it.

My experience with gaming and dual monitors is some games get this 100% right (Planetside2 for instance, note I run that in Fullscreen/Windowed mode, but others have been fine in Fullscreen), whilst others even when run in Fullscreen will randomly decide to lose the mouse pointer, or even focus as a whole. There are some games that cause me to HAVE to exit all other programs in case the mouse somehow manages to end up over one of them and cause focus to move (I do have focus follows mouse, without raise to top, through registry hack).

To sum up: Blame the game devs, there is a right way to handle this. (Although it's possible that in part it's earlier versions of the DirectX API that are to blame as some of the problematic games were old ones when I played them.)
