| Summary | 0006285: Mouse cursor difficult to see on certain backgrounds. | ||||
| Description | I don't want to call it a bug but I find it easy to lose the mouse cursor on some of the whiter backgrounds, ice age backgrounds are particularly bad but I've lost it on desert buildings as well. I Only lose it for a few seconds, but usually enough to take damage because of it. This is probably a combination of two things, the cursor is fairly small at 1920x1080 and well it's white. | ||||

Are you using the custom cursor? Or are you using the Windows cursor? |
|
|
Custom Cursor. |
|
|
Same here. Custom cursor. I'm running at 1920x1080 and I just don't have good enough eyes to find the cursor on some backgrounds. Recently, the worst background for me is the desert building interiors (whitish tiles). |
|
|
I just submitted a thread asking for a scalable aiming reticule. This is a feature of many FPS's and it help a lot with this problem. Perhaps there should also be an option to change it's color by holding down a certain button? |
|
|
I also lose the cursor a lot. I would love an option to scale it up, or a choice of a few different cursors to cycle through. Since it's not an FPS where a big aiming reticule can easily block your view, I wouldn't mind having one that's huge and some obnoxious color that won't get lost on backgrounds, like hot pink. (At least, until the unicorn rainbow age gets added) |
|
|
This is one issue that I believe should be finished before 1.0 I routinely lose the custom cursor against white or light backgrounds. |
|
|
Same problem here. (I submitted the duplicate ticket on this). For others with this problem, here's a tip I just discovered, which I found helpful... If you set the "Mouse dynamically moves camera" option, it helps a fair bit with mouse position awareness. Even though the cursor itself is still hard to spot at times, I'm more aware of its general location as I move about (because the mouse controls the camera) and the position is usally not that far from where I expect enemies to approach from. This doesn't solve the problem, but it mitigates it a bit. |

Thanks! * There is now a particle-based mouse cursor underlay that gets displayed during the non-GUI parts of the game (custom mouse cursor only). This makes it vastly easier to keep up with where you mouse is on the screen during the chaos of a fight, and in turn makes aiming a lot easier. |
|
|
This problem of difficulty to see also applies to lightening espers against certain skys and backgrounds. |
|
|
Yep, but when they start firing they tend to be a lot more visible. Some degree of stealthy enemies seems okay to me. |
