I just started playing again and the mouse cursor randomly at times jumps on the screen, only when I'm playing broodwar it seems not when I'm doing anything else. Does anyone else have this problem, is this the games fault and if so do you guys know how to fix it, its super annoying. Thanks.

Are you using hardware cursor? Without hardware cursor, your cursor may lag when the game does. I believe you might be even feeling the smallest stutter when it affects something like your mouse. Go ahead and turn that on and see if that helps.

It does make your cursor smaller, this thread has a fix if you do not like it small

Hi KameZerg,

That thread is a bit out-of-date. Can you post your computer specs and windows version? Are you playing on WiFi? Dont enable the Bonjour service when it asks on login. Disable Bonjour in windows services if already enabled. Also, try using hardware cursor as suggested already.

Here are optimal settings for mouse:

1) Use fullscreen, disable vsync, disable FPS cap, disable realtime lighting and shadow stacking, set SD graphics filter to "filtered", even if not using SD graphics (removes mouse acceleration). Pillarbox is your preference.

2) Try using a different renderer, either dx9 or opengl. dx9 is recommended

Hope this helps

Setting mouse cursor to hardware should fix it.

Thanks, I have windows 11 Pro and a Dell Latitude 5400 laptop. I'll be trying these settings now. It did work with the hardware cursor being turned off for me but at the same time it decreased the performance but removed the jumping, so i'd rather have the hardware cursor turned on but I hope these settings will allow you to have it on without it jumping again. Thanks .

Sorry for hijacking a thread a little bit, but it's just so short and simple question, I don't feel like making a separate topic.
I was watching some Artosis clips, and after a game, to check who was his last opponent (even if it was a barcode), he just pastes it into ladder search box. How does he know that? How does he have his last opponent nick in clipboard?

Maybe the clips was 2 year old or so, and it's not possible anymore - if someone knows how and if still possible - I'd appreciate an explanation.

Apologies for offtopic again.

If the clip was ~2 years old, perhaps it isnt possible.

One option is to monitor your own profile at cwal.gg Just press "update" when the game is finished and it should show your most recent opponent. You can then check their profile by just clicking their name, even if a barcode.

[edit] sorry mods, maybe move to Simple Questions/Answers?

Holy shit I am having massive trouble with my mouse pointer in-game, this is not something that happens outside of BW. It's impossible to play rn because everytime i do fast moments the mouse cursor jumps or floats. What the fuck is wrong with this game, It's been a broken piece of garbage since release.

@kamezerg since blizzard is unlikely to support...

can you post the first two pages of dxdiag?

also perhaps try disabling your laptop's radeon card to force starcraft to run on the integrated intel graphics, to see if there is any improvement.

some users on BNET forums reported that updating VC++ redists and .NET helped with lag. Some related to the SceneCefBrowser.

I guess if nothing has worked for you so far, its going to be a "trial and error" situation.

Here is a link to the latest VC redists and dotnet installer:

https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/download/v0.83.0/VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2088631

It hasnt been suggested yet, but also make sure you're running the latest graphics drivers.

I know these suggestions are kindof noob-tier so if you think "well no shit update my drivers, thanks for nothing jerks" upon reading them thats cool. just trying to make sure all the bases are covered.

Fixed it! For anyone having the same issue here was my solution: Do not exceed over 100% on the custom scaling size in the System > Display > Custom scaling options
