Issue description
Windows 10 OS, corei5 4690 cpu, socket 1150 motherboard, GTX680 GPU

After installing the game then the update then Libertatis, the game started normally and all seemed well until the menu appeared. When I moved the mouse even 1/16th of an inch the mouse cursor move all the way across the monitor and not necessarily in the direction I was moving the mouse. The cursor was impossible to control and I was unable to position it over any of the menu items. The cursor would just go off the edge of the screen, and leave trails, with the slightest movement of the mouse. That's as far as I got. I had to open task manager in order to exit the game.

The game is a retail version on dvd that I bought 6 or 8 years ago that works well on windows vista

Steps to reproduce this issue
Install game, install update, install Libertatis, start game and wait for menu to appear, try to use mouse.

This sounds like Bug report 706 - Main menu screen cursor uncontrollable

Could you please

  1. Try windowed mode. (you can use Alt+Enter to toggle fullscreen)
  2. Check if this still happens with the latest snapshot from http://arx-libertatis.org/files/snapshots/

Without further info, assuming this is fixed in 1.2 with the SDL2 backend.

The issue was updated with the following change(s):
  • The status has been updated, from New to Not a bug.
  • This issue has been closed
  • The resolution has been updated, from Not determined to CAN'T REPRODUCE.

I had the same issue and stumbled across a fix on a Steam thread. The fix is to right-click the game icon or executable, select properties, compatibility tab, and check Override high DPI scaling behavior.
