Huuuuge mouse pointer in Windowed Mode(1)Category: Technical SupportJanuary-13-2016 4:07 AM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi,

Ever since launch I have been playing Diablo 3 in Windowed Mode. Never had any issues with it (>3500 hours played).

Patch 2.4 changed the mouse pointer for Diablo to make it more visible. I assume that in fullscreen the changes are less prominent then they are in Windowed Mode. FYI: the mouse pointer is almost half my character's size. I sincerely hope that this is just one of the many oversights in this patch and that it can be fixed with an upcoming bug-fix patch.

(I'd hate to have to look into using LD_PRELOAD stuff and writing my own SetIcon functions.)

Hello dreamCata,

I just made some tests here on my client, and the mouse pointer doesn't seem to change sizes when switching between Fullscreen and Windowed. It's roughly the size of the head of my character on the character screen and in-game I would say it's around the size of the torso (talking about a female monk, for reference). If your pointer is more or less that size, I would say it's the intended size of it with the changes in 2.4.

That's way bigger than my cursor in any mode, to be honest.

What screen resolution are you using? Is it the same as your desktop's?

Could you try opening the game at the same resolution of the desktop and see if the pointer is still the same? I've managed to reproduce what you're experiencing, but only if I put the game fullscreen at 800x600 (if I put it in Window mode it automatically changes it to my desktop resolution), so it might be a problem with such small resolutions.

Hello JeffKaos,

The cursor now looks like in the first screen the player you quoted posted:

If your cursor looks like that, this is intended and is how the cursor looks right now in Diablo III. Mine looks exactly the same.
