yellow mouse dot, not showing up in VR screen

Vintagedriver01 · Jul 18, 2019

Bit irritating when in VR the yellow mouse dot is not showing up. Can somebody tell how to fix that permanently? Right now I have trying to adjust the room light in my mancave & set screen resolution=game resolution, as can be found on the web as an solution, but the only solution in my case, that is working is to restart the computer.

use full screen for your game resolution on the monitor. that will ensure your mouse is useable.

Thanks for the reply but It is in fullscreen mode.

Win-Y.

You can also map it in VoiceAttack instead of reaching for keyboard every time.

Win-Y does not work, Voiceattack interesting, never thought for using this in AC, could give it a try.
This evening I got the yellow mouse dot but it was restricted to an certain area. Maybe it is the calibration thats need to be overdone.

Yes the Win10 1903update and standard mouse pointer, should I change something in the mouse settings?

Win Y should work, make sure that AC window on desktop has active focus.
Do you have blue bar at the top saying press Win-Y to switch input.

Did you sort this out at the end?
I have the same issue: yellow dot is limited to central part of the VR screen and i cannot reach the buttons on the left...

Try changing the resolution in ac to 1920x1080 and run as full screen.

Also have to make sure (at least I do) that headset is on your face when pressing win-y or voice command

I had the same issue related to custom shaders patch. I was stuck on v1.25 P 49forever until recently now I think I am on 1.25 P140 and issue is gone

*BUMP*
Sorry to bump an old thread, but this issue has just happened to me. Almost chucked the blimin' mouse out the window last night when trying to select the correct amount of fuel in the car set-up menu. But I managed it through slight movements and a lot of luck - have that technology, I beat you! (It took almost ten minutes, but I'm patient and petty, a lethal combo when trying to defeat a set of microchips)

Not sure why it's suddenly started happening, but has anyone got any new ideas or solutions?

Make sure that mirror screen is in the fullscreen.
In WMR portal set Input Switching to Manual instead of Auto.

Thanks, I've pretty much tried everything now, nothing works. It's odd as it only happens in AC. I think something has gone on with my Rift S, or maybe I tweaked a setting somewhere else. Who knows, I'll plug away until I find out, but thanks for your tips.

WMR portal thing applies to WMR people of course.
When in game, take headset off and check where mouse cursor is on the screen. It should be over mirror screen, this is why full screen is important.
Also accidentally AC VR has better performance when mirror is full screen.

I had this problem and a combination of manual in the WMR settings and moving my SteamVR and everything else off the same monitor that AC was on ultimately fixed it for the most part for me. You still need to make sure the mouse is on that screen and it will happily leave.
