I just make sure to launch that game from the shortcut I made in Cursor Lock and everything is hunky dory. You may have to play around with it to get it working properly for your specific game, but in my experience, the above two options worked like a charm. Snake’s how-to video also shows off some examples of what you can try if a game isn’t on the list, so check that out below. If you find the computer monitor is causing the problem, replace the monitor, as it should not be generating an interfering signal and is likely defective. If it receives and transmits wireless signals to its receiver, try moving the device or receiver. Snake has a list of games that are confirmed working, as well as the options you need to check for them, including Starcraft, The Witcher, and Fallout: New Vegas. Try moving that device to another location that is farther away from the mouse. For the game Insurgency, on the main menu, the mouse cursor disappears. (If you aren’t sure what the game’s app ID is, just Google the game and go to its page on the Steam Store–the number at the end of its URL is its ID, as seen below.)Ĭursor Lock has many more advanced features that may help if the above options don’t work. Even fullscreen works until you move your mouse pointer and focus some window on. For DOOM, I found that I had to direct “Open Program” to my Steam.exe, “Lock Program” to DOOM’s EXE, and “Open Program Args” to -applaunch 379720, where 379720 is the app ID for the game in question. In other cases, you may need to add a few arguments. If it still keeps moving on its own, your mouse may have hardware issues, and you’d better replace it with a new one.
In the first place, you need to check if there are some errors in the hardware.
For me, this was all I needed to keep my cursor reigned in while playing Metro: Last Light. You can try them one by one if there is something wrong with your mouse. This will create a shortcut wherever you want that launches that game with Cursor Lock enabled.
