Boris Dollar Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 After about 24hrs i've finally got the game working, but now i cannot see the mouse pointer hardly at all. If i leave it for a few seconds, it reappears, but as soon as i move it, its gone again. Makes it quite hard to navigate around the game! Any ideas?

Boris Dollar Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 just to update, i have tried the usual window tricks - decreasing hardware acceleration, changing resolution etc. The mouse cursor is fine outside of the game, but as soon as i enter FM10 it disappears. Even when it appears it is quite unresponsive when i click. Finally, i have also lowered the resolution down to the lowest possible within FM, and the problem is the same. Thanks.

Lister_Storm Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hey guys, i had this problem before. I went into control panel, then into the mouse section, then pointer options and in there should be visibilty and make sure that display pointer trails is unchecked. Worked for me hope it works for you to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked for me hope it works for you to. Thanks for the suggestion, but it was already unchecked for me. This is really frustrating as the game loads by i cannot play it.

Boris Dollar Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Right, i think i have the solution. I was searching the forums for mouse 'pointer' but it didnt realise the technical term was mouse 'cursor'. Others had the problem with the demo. In FM, go to preferences and selected your view/resolution as windowed, and bobs your uncle, i can now play! YAY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychocandy Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 change to the fm2010 dark skin FM-prefs-display and sound-FM 2010 dark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allies Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 change to the fm2010 dark skinFM-prefs-display and sound-FM 2010 dark Well I have the exact problem - my mouse cursor sporadically disappears. It's extremely annoying to say the least. Anyway, it has nothing to do with the skin as it happens on both of the default FM10 skins. I can see my cursor at one moment and the next moment it vanishes... I'm going to try windowed mode now - holding thumbs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufc4ever Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 i dont know how you are all getting but i tried changing the skin and that didnt work and for some reason my game wont let me have it as windowed any other suggestions ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufc4ever Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 i had similar problem last year except it just flashed so it wasnt too bad but like you all said it disappears :S i've also realised it disappears when you hover over a link not all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange to say the least. Are you playing in Steam? If so, you can force the game to play in windowed mode. Just go to the Steam games page, right-click Football Manager > Properties, then click "Set launch options". In the box, type -sw and it should go windowed next time you load the game. Just in case you need it, you can also set the screen resolution in that box is you need to. Just use -w <width in pixels> -h <height in pixels> and it'll use the size you set. For most people wanting a full-screen sized window this will be "-w 1280 -h 1024" but in the case of smaller screens, try "-w 800 -h 600" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewPratt Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Football Manager 2017 Mouse pointer was not showing. Thanks for previous advice. I tried all that. Did not work, until..... For some strange reason the mouse pointer came back when I started pressing the Function keys. F1 Help , F2 Screen Brightness -, F3 Screen Brightness +, F4 Screen selection (single screen, multiple screens, duplicate screen), F5 refresh. I think it may have been F4 selecting single screen laptop may have helped or perhaps or F5 refresh the screen. I hope it works for you all. Either way it came back. Soooooo frustrating I almost ended my laptop right there and then. Regards Andrew Pratt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
