Mouse cursor doesn't change icons when targeting enemies or further away from interactable allies/objects.

[Gorem.8104]

Something i've noticed recently, as of a update/patch or 2 ago is that my mouse cursor has stopped changing icons nearly entirely. For the speech bubble to appear I now have to be on top of the target, same deal for the cog wheel. I used to be able to tell allied siege in wvw from far away due to it changing into a cog wheel, but now it doesn't until you are basically on top of it. Also notice the red sword attack icon for fighting enemies just disappeared entirely. now if I fight a random mob the cursor entirely refuses to change to anything. Click on enemy siege the cursor appears the same as everywhere. 

 

What's the current fix for this new issue? I hear its even effected Yolomouse as of course, its an issue with the game gw2 itself that is a new problem.

Using DX9 or DX11?

Never tried the DX11 until today, hoping it would fix it, but it didn't,. game looks nice now though. But yeah i've always been on the dx9. Doesn't seem to have any effect on the mouse cursor icon changing

Has been an issue for a while now, not just since the latest patch. Most people don't notice it, though.

I hope it will get fixed after the holidays.

This has been driving me crazy! Everyone I ask about this says, they never noticed that it changed for enemies which is what I really miss.

 

One thing I did notice, it will still change, BUT you need to be on TOP of the enemy and it only changes when facing certain directions if that makes sense? It was really strange I could make it work then it would stop again so it's definitely a bug. I am currently installing a clean install and going to test it out and see if that makes a difference for me.

Yeah, I noticed it a short while ago, saw some reddit posts but not many here. I do see others are experiencing it, and see that it is essentially a bug. Hopefully there is a fix for it in 2022 🙂

 

Cause once you notice it, its so hard to stop noticing it.

Did the clean install work? Yeah, that's what I miss the most, is it changing for enemies. NPC's too/ Siege in wvw was also nice to be able to see far away. Went from being able to tell if enemy siege or our siege to it all being the same from a distance.
