Gunthrek Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 It would be much appreciated if the developers could look into the code and figure out what it is that requires the mouse be grabbed while loading the game. It's super frustrating to be trying to do something else while waiting for the menu to load, only to have my mouse cursor snatched away from what I'm doing over and over. Thanks! 1

Fwiw: Maybe this is a "pancake" thing? Or maybe I don't understand the OP correctly, but when loading the game in VR mode, I never had any such issues. Here's my experience: Double click the DCS VR exe -> see the DCS loading screen popup -> alt-tab to whatever I want to do (usually a quick forum browse) -> when loading is done, alt-tab back to DCS VR and have fun (no mouse issues anywhere) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
Gunthrek Posted November 30, 2023 Author Posted November 30, 2023 I typically ALT+TAB out of it once the splash logo comes up, but no matter how many times I do it, it's like the software is trying to center the mouse on the screen...regardless of whether it's the active window or not. I have to keep tabbing out several times until the main menu loads. Even then, every once in a while the mouse will go haywire for a couple of seconds if DCS isn't the active window. It's the only program that does it to me, so I'm assuming they're trying to do some kind of mouse relocation or something, but they didn't limit it to when DCS is the active window.
