If you are able to log into the Test server, you are apparently in the Closed Beta.

You should ask there instead since you really aren't supposed to talk about Closed Beta outside of those forums.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I presume you're using Vista. On the Live servers, you would fix this problem by typing /compatiblecursors 1.

Please submit this as a bug as /compatiblecursors should not be required any longer.

I am having the same problem on my laptop, but typing that didn't fix it.

There's supposed to be an option for it as well in the Menu. To open the menu without a mouse pointer, press the \ key. Don't type it, just press \. That will open the menu, then hit "o" for options.

Is it correct that you are using Vista? If yes then it's probably the old bug again. If not, something new may be going on. Regardless, file a bug report using the /bug command.

Yeah I am using Vista. I got mine to work, but not sure how. The boyfriend's computer is doing the same thing. Vista too. LOL GO figure!

Okay:

Right click on the shortcut you are using for CoX and select "Properties".

In the field labeled "Target:", go to the end of the text in that field and then type " -compatiblecursors" (without the quotes, but with the space before the dash).

So it should look something like:

"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -compatiblecursors

(Note, you can have more than one flag at the end there, just put a space before each one.)

Then click OK.

That will activate /compatiblecursors when the game loads and should fix your problem until such time as they track down that bug (again).
