Mouse Flickering Issue
Posted: 14 Feb 2021 12:35
Afternoon people, I am new to the forum but have been a player of TT since it was first released back in the 90s so please go easy on me.
I have wanted to get back into the game and of course open TTD is the only choice, however I have an issue with my mouse when moving across the screen it flickers in and out of the screen as if when moving it moves behind something then it will re-appear, I have done some digging around on google and the forum but I cant find anything that solves the problem, this may seem trivial for some but it truly destroys the game for me, is there any solution? I'm not the most technical minded when it comes to code and stuff like that, from what I learnt some people also have this issue but nothing as far as I can see has solved it.
Im running the following system...
Windows 10
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x Eight Core 3.70ghz
Geforce RTX 2080
32 GB Ram
Samsung Ultra Widescreen Monitor
I hope that when things go onto Steam this issue may change but I fear it will not, this is what I saw in the readme file from the download if its related to what I am experiencing
Mouse cursor going missing with SDL [#4997]:
Under certain circumstances SDL does not notify OpenTTD of changes with
respect to the mouse pointer, specifically whether the mouse pointer
is within the bounds of OpenTTD or not. For example, if you "Alt-Tab"
to another application the mouse cursor will still be shown in OpenTTD,
and when you move the mouse outside of the OpenTTD window so the cursor
gets hidden, open/move another application on top of the OpenTTD window
and then Alt-tab back into OpenTTD the cursor will not be shown.
We cannot fix this problem as SDL simply does not provide the required
information in these corner cases. This is a bug in SDL and as such
there is little that we can do about it.
All I want to do is enjoy the game! please help!
