Hardware Mouse Cursor Option Save Issue

Published on June 25, 2008 By S0und5 In The Political Machine 2004

The title says it all.

When you select the use of the hardware mouse cursor it does do the right thing. However once you've quit the game this option is not remember. Has anyone else notice this?

Also in windowed mode the cursor doesn't allow you to go past the top of window or even move it - the only way is to use the hardware cursor option, but this is a pain given that the option is not remembered between games.

I know its a minor issue, but I really hate the orange blob.

The reason that the orange cursor is contained within the window is that it is a software cursor; switching to a hardware cursor will eliminate that issue (and it's what I use all the time). The problem with the setting not between remembered between gaming sessions has been fixed and will be working as intended again in a forthcoming patch (due out very soon).

In the mean time you can go into your Prefs.ini file (in My Documents\My Games\PolMachine2008) and change the "HardwareMouseCursor" key to 1.
