Aquamarine.3698 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I have the problem since SoTO launched, I wonder if there is any update about this issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderclock.7390 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I am having this issue as well. I didn't use to have it at all, but it is now becoming very noticeable (post-SOTO) to the point where I've also ordered a new mouse hoping that's the problem. My mouse can also "escape" full screen and leak onto my other monitor by moving the mouse towards my other monitor and right-clicking when the mouse appears near the edge. If I right click with the mouse already on the edge, it doesn't work. But right clicking near the edge while the mouse is moving will recreate the "escape" issue 100% of the time. This is in full screen 1920x1080. Not sure if this is similar but sometimes my right-click will stop registering as if I let go of the button. I don't think this is related to high PC load (WvW) though it is more noticeable in fights. Perhaps that's more because I'm actually right-clicking a lot. Game has become much frustrating to play. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkoto.5368 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Just here to bump and hopefully help raise the priority of the issue a bit, as it's probably sitting as "Low/Backlog" somewhere in the bug tracker of ArenaNet. I've been using the arcdps_unofficial_extras which has a perfect fix for this issue (from the POV of a player), but after the latest game update, arcdps is broken again and the fix is now gone. I'm being forced to use my custom AHK script that doesn't work to the same level as the arcdps fix. And the game is pretty much unplayable without any fixes for the issue and makes me regret every single cent that I've spent on the game. Is it possible to arrange a donation to ArenaNet to fund the 2-3 days of work for a junior engine programmer? They can ask for the code of the arcdps_unofficial_extras and then integrate it into the game's engine code. Can't wait for this third party software to get updated so it can fix the game again... 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I raised a ticket and told them I used arcdps unofficial extras to PARTIALLY fix this issue. All responses I got from GM were like: do a clean start of PC and try to find which software/service interferes the ingame mouse cursor. Actually this kind of feedback is not constructive and it doesn't help at all. I did what they said and the issue still there. Yet I agree that Anet possibly has a really low prirority on this issue. Now I just stopped playing the game. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeTect.5918 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Yeah I have this one for like a few years too. Sometimes its not there for weeks or months and then it comes back. I turn with holding right click camera -> cursor reappears and camera stops turning, sometimes npcs or other players get clicked on by this. Some festival related jps are kinda difficult with this, such as the clocktower jp on halloween. A forum moderator in this topic back in may. Strange it hasnt been fixed yet. They should put this higher in priority since its such a game-breaking bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcDps options > Extensions > unofficial_extras > check "clip cursor when moving camera" Holy moly, thank you so much for this. Gamechanger. No longer will my AoEs and stuff go off in the wrong direction. No more losing focus on GW2 and clicking on something in Discord in the middle of a raid fight. Thank you again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axiom.9742 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just to bump this and provide an easy way for all users and devs to see the bug in action, If you install Microsoft PowerToys for Windows and enable the Mouse Crosshairs, these stay on and allow you to track the 'real' mouse position at all times, even when the cursor is otherwise invisible due to steering. The mouse tracking bug becomes painfully obvious as the crosshairs slide all across the screen while steering. Sometimes the cursor jumps back to proper position, but most of the time it lags just enough to reposition somewhere across the screen or jumps to a different monitor (even when in full-screen mode). Turn on the ArcDps Unofficial Extras "clip cursor" settings and instantly the crosshairs/mouse stays exactly where it's supposed to be, even when invisible. Highly recommend PowerToys even if just for native OS customizable Crosshairs, especially nice to verify when clip cursor is working. Can't comprehend how something so fundamental has remained broken, unless it was hard to visualize and reproduce, which it's not anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi.8369 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Bump The ArcDPS Unofficial Extras plugin only partially fixes the problem for me, and whenever Arc is down, the game becomes unplayable. Many people I play with also have this problem but have given up on trying to fix it and simply live with the Arc band-aid. I don't know why this problem is allowed to persist. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorkano.4609 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) @Rubi Bayer.8493 Hello, I hope you are doing well. Is there any update on this issue or is it parked for now? Edited March 6 by lorkano.4609 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esufer.8762 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I've started getting this problem the since (I assume) the 27th patch - it's making the game almost unplayable in competitive, especially when ground targeted skills are involved (as my mouse cursor isn't where I'm expecting it to be after moving my camera) Edited March 13 by Esufer.8762 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi.8369 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Bump again because, as with every update, the game is unplayable until Unofficial Extras for ARC works again (which is itself only a partial fix) 🥴 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortalux.6902 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 i would love to see a fix to this. this bug has been a pain for me for years and 10 times more right now because i use [sword of justice], [bow of truth] and consecration which all just sometimes get placed randomly across the map because the mouse somehow just teleported there after i released my rotation from my character. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been another year almost 🥴 Just to restate: The problem with camera turning is that this game does not lock your mouse while it is invisible, sometimes (for some always) it fails to reset the mouse position when it gets visible again. Also it is possible to interact with ui elements, e.g. the minimap while the mouse is invisible. 10 hours ago, Mortalux.6902 said: i would love to see a fix to this. this bug has been a pain for me for years and 10 times more right now because i use [sword of justice], [bow of truth] and consecration which all just sometimes get placed randomly across the map because the mouse somehow just teleported there after i released my rotation from my character. Try playing Willbender without the Arc plugin 🥴 You will yeet your character all over the place. There will be an update to the Unofficial Extras plugin some time this week btw. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carloshell.3895 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The problem still persists for me, driving me crazy about it. Any updates from the dev team? thank you! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippfader.5192 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Just faced this aggrevating problem myself, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. This is a crucial bug which needs to be sorted out as soon as possible. It astounds me that a plugin to an addon, ArcDPS, is a potential fix. What stops the dev team to reverse engineer what the plugin does? Hopefully we'll get to hear from any officials soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to restate: The problem with camera turning is that this game does not lock your mouse cursor while it is invisible. Sometimes/for many always, it fails to reset the mouse position to where you began camera turning when it gets visible again. Also, less frustrating but: it is possible to interact with UI elements, e.g. the minimap, or chat window while the mouse is invisible, as a consequence of the cursor not being locked and still moving around the screen while invisible. I know of no other game that does this. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivi.3401 Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM (edited) This has still not been addressed. There is literally an addon for arcdps that (among its other functions) implements a workaround for this issue (clipping the cursor in place during camera movements, which is what the game itself should be doing). Please fix it. I'll be honest; it's very frustrating that bugs at the core of how players interact with the game (input) are not fixed, despite input being unreliable (in this case because scrolling during camera movement doesn't reliably zoom the camera, as well as the cursor jumping experienced by some people) negatively affecting gameplay in every part of the game.
