Hi guys,

I've been having this problem with my mouse cursor in starcraft 2 where it glitches and has lines going through the cursor that are messing up the pixels. This only happens after I've been in the game for around 30 minutes and the cursor stays like that after I turn off sc2. The only way I can fix it is by restarting the computer. Is anyone else experiencing this and/or knows how to fix this? I've searched TL but couldn't find anything like this. Thanks.

Are you running a ATI 5xxx series, if so it's just a graphic bug caused by ati driver's rolling back to like 9.x will solve it for most ppl. Or update your driver to 10.6 if it's not already there.

Turnings thing off like cursor shadow works for some or using a mouse trail etc. Most ppl who report this have atleast 2 monitors.

How would I "roll back" to 9.x? I saw your video and that's what happens to my cursor. My drivers are updated to 10.6.

Just uninstall current ati crap and install older drivers.

Some ppl find 9.4 to be the most stable, but i think the glitch started with 9.11 so i'd try 9.10

Personally i just live with it

my fps freezes when i move my mouse, unless i'm pressing mouse4 while i move my mouse... wtf is going on?

edit: to clarify, if i have fraps running, everything freezes when i move my mouse in a diagonal manner, but horizontally and vertically it just lowers my fps a lot, but if i'm talking at the same time (using push to talk in ventrilo) i suffer no frameloss at all. i have a q6600 nvidia 9800gt and 2gb1066 ram on windows xp.
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.

That's been happening to me since January. I just live with it. Tried to solve it by rolling back drivers but I must have messed it up because it still happens (albeit less frequently). Somebody should really tell the guys at ATI about this
good vibes only

Or... a very smart guy could post us a solution on this thread. I'm going to try some minor tweaks to fix it.

Load up Screen Magnifier and set it to 100%. It will fix the cursor problem and sometimes you're able to close the program afterwards too and keep it fixed. Otherwise just restart. :/

Hello! I am having a promblem with Starcraft 2. Everything works fine, but the mouse cursor for the game. My mouse moves around on the screen altought I can't see it. This starts when I first log on the site to enter Starcarft 2. I can move my scroll button up and down to find out where my mouse is, but when .Ii get into the game my scroll will not show me where my mouse cursor is. I have tried reloading the game several times, restarting my computer, and downloading it off the web. Any suggestions you have that would let me play Starcraft 2 would greatly be appericated.

This happens to me all the time. I just tab a few times and it normally fixes itself. If not, I just try to ignore it.

I have this same problem, wondering if anyone else is using steam as well. Might be caused by the overlay? I have launched SC2 without using steam and it seems to not give me that weird mouse issue where it changes funky cursors over the buildings and adds units to control groups instead of being able to move or build with them. Seems to effect my computer shutting down as well because it lags after the shutdown screen for like 10 min or more and then shuts down. Not an easy fix!
