TIP..: VR and multiscreen, mouse outside game window issue

[delevero]

Hello

 

This bug/issue is related to both VR and multiscreen and players who play in window mode.

 

The problem is that even if you use the ingame feature to limit the mouse to the game window, then the mouse can be "forced" outside the game window very easy.

 

Especially when you play in VR and window mode then you all the time move the mouse outside the window and if you click something then your joystick stop working and the game first work once you move the mouse back and click somewhere in the game... in vr this is very annoying.

I am aware we can just alt+enter and play in fullscreen... However when streaming and playing in vr i can only play in window mode els the steamin will not work becourse of VR ( for some stupid reason )

 

Anyway the same goes for people with multiscreen who have the game on one screen and then example radios or chat/voice or other stuff on another monitor...

 

Solution..: the ingame limit mouse feature inside window need to be adjusted so the mouse are stopped 1cm before it reache the top/bottom/left/right of the window..

Maybe even allow the user to press a hotkey such as left+esc to unlock the mouse form the window, and left+esc to lock it again.

 

 

TIP..: there is a work arround with using freeware software that can be used in VR / window mode / and if you use more than 1 monitor.

 

What it does is locking the mouse inside a specific window, example dcs.

And to go outside of the box you can setup a hotkeys to turn off/on the lock of the mouse.

 

So personaly now i can play in window mode while in vr and my mouse never leave dcs...

 

I use the software

http://www.snakebytestudios.com/projects/apps/cursor-lock/

 

 

It can automatic lock the mouse when dcs start and such... however I just like to alt+tab into the software and unlock/lock it there manual.

Just

 

I just enter the dcs path into

open program

lock program

lock region ( window )

 

and then i click the box "force lock "

 

That is it.. not sure i did it 100% correct but it work. ;-) ( just alt+tab out of dcs and lock/unlock... if you close the program by accident, then you can in windows start find the software named cursor lock and there is an unlock link.... ( or exit dcs ))
