Yeah, seems to be worse now, cursor pops up when I loot the cornucopias'.

I have to use Tab key to toggle the cursor off - it is set that way in my controls.

I am always in reticle mode.

I am also getting a cursor lock when I use ESC key to logoff/shutdown the game.

Happens for me on occasion when I would open a modal window, like the menu for home ownership, or the main options interface. Note: I use cursor mode exclusively, and never use reticle mode.

For a while I thought it was accidentally mapping "CTRL + X" to reticle mode, as that would frequently cause it to switch (nearly 100% of the time, but not quite). Then I realized thats my key combo for swapping decks, so thats sort of like entering combat mode (as described above). This whole time I was playing with my homes, no actual combat .

It was when I was examining my key commands for "CTRL + X" that I noticed opening up any menu occasionally switched to reticle mode. So swapping decks was going into reticle mode 90-99% of the time, and opening the options menu was going into reticle mode maybe 60% of the time (total guess on that number).

This part is interesting: my key combo for actual reticle/cursor mode was set to "ALT + E" (I probably customized that to something "out of the way" for myself).

Once I hit that key combo, the problem stopped. Once I hit my actual combo for toggling cursor/reticle mode, I no longer had problems with it accidentally toggling for other actions for that play session. I was trying to do things to get it to swap back to reticle unintentionally and could not - "CTRL + X" went from 100% of the time toggling reticle to 0% of the time, for example.

Then I crashed to desktop while trying to figure out more ways to accidentally evoke reticle mode, and find myself writing this post .

Im gonna log back on and try and recreate the above again...

[Update - login after above CtD]

upon login, I was set to reticle mode (this is an error, I am cursor-mode only)

Opening menus toggled cursor/reticle mode at inconsistent rates. If i rapidly press the esc button, I'll get a useable cursor soon enough.

After pressing "ALT+ E" (my toggle cursor key combo), swapping decks caused cursor mode to toggle 0% of the time. I did it rapidly for a full minute, it never toggled after hitting my combo for toggle cursor/reticle.

I just quit and reloged and did the same thing. For the third time in a row, Im switched to reticle mode on login (an error), and using menus or opening combat or swapping decks often toggles reticle/cursor mode. Once I forcibly switch to cursor mode, it doesnt seem to come back. It stays in cursor mode (expected) when I open menus, toggle decks, or open combat.

Ill report back if it comes back, the above represents short play sessions.
