invisible mouse cursor

[Silk]

just loaded the game. loaded fine, everything in game seems to be responding correctly - except for the fact that there is no mouse cursor. I can still scroll to the main concourse, bar, etc...just can't see it. Rather aggravating. Any suggestions?

Welcome Silk I am assuming that you are running a windows variant so in the data4x folder of your install there is a file called vegastrike.config it's XML so any text editor will open it i prefer Notepad++ because it has syntax highlighting around line 514 in the graphics section you will find

Code: Select all

<var name="LogoOffsetScale" value="-30.8"/>
		<var name="MouseCursor" value="false"/>

      <var name="num_messages" value="10"/> <!-- messages on hud -->
      <var name="last_message_time" value="60"/><!-- time before scrolling -->

			<var name="hardware_cursor" value="false"/>
			<var name="OptimizeVertexCondition" value="1"/>
			<var name="SharedVertexArrays" value="true"/>

Play around with MouseCursor and hardware_cursor ie changing one or both to true hopefully one will work also looking at the log files stdout.txt and stderr.txt in the bin folder may give you some idea on what is happening.If you have any problem just post we should be able to work something out.

Enjoy the Choice

No problem when you update your graphic's cards driver next time try going back to the original value.
