Neural.1824 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The laptop my wife uses for GW2 was having some issues, so after the manufacturer replaced some parts under warranty, they also re-installed the OS (windows 10) and drivers. When we got it back, she installed all the programs that she normally uses, including Gw2. I don't know if it is a bug, or an option that I cannot find in the Gw2 options menu, but while her mouse cursor on Windows 10 is set up to use the system default (normal size), her mouse pointer in Gw2 is *huge*. Like... if you put the pointer over a characters face at the character select screen, it covers the entire face. This appears to be limited to Windowed Fullscreen mode, as other modes don't have this issue. All Windows 10 settings are default for mouse pointers, etc. It *may* be a bug, but I wanted to check first to see if it's a known issue, or if it's an option somewhere (I'd love to set my pointer to be large like that. Much easier to see when in combat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Perhaps, it is DPI Scaling. That's under Display Options. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonNeonite.1048 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's what happens, when I play above non native resolution, it's to do with DPI scaling. You can try and see if it's ticked or not in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If you want indeed a custom sized cursor after all, including different colors, I recommend you watch WoodenPotatoes' guide: It's a shame we can't adjust size and color of our mouse pointer in the game settings. With all the visual clutter, it is an actual must-have. I have "lost" track of my mouse pointer several times on the latest map (and before that during mass events like festivals or during raid encounters, or in WvW where it is often lethal).
