"Compatible Cursors"?

I know I'm probably just being dense, but how do you set the "compatible cursors" option?

My wife's new machine is using an ATI card and it's being hit with the 'jump 2 inches to the left' bug on the enhancement screens. I've heard that the compatible cursors option will fix that, but I can't find any setting to turn that on.

I've searched every option under both general game settings and graphics/audio settings tabs and can't find anything. I could of sworn I'd seen it as a regular on/off toggle before, but I'm not seeing it now.

Compatible cursors doesn't fix that. It fixes invisible mouse pointers in vista/windows 7 (although the game SHOULD automatically be selecting it in those situations)

The enhancement issue just is. There's no fix currently for it other than to not use an ATI card. Here's hoping it's one of the long standing ATI bugs that gets fixed in I17.

You get used to it...

EDIT: Forgot, if you want to try, it's actually a command line switch you add to the end of the shortcut (like how you get into the test server. Add "-compatiblecursors 1" to the end of the target of the shortcut (minus the quotes) outside the quotes that are already there.

Probably not going to help though :-/

Thanks Frost.

I knew it was supposed to fix something, and I hadn't heard of the invisible cursor thing, so I'd assumed it was the jumping cursor.

Oh well, it's annoying for sure, but I guess we'll just have to live with it - and be more careful while slotting.

You don't need the " 1" on the end of that flag.

Try "/cursorcache 1"

This fixed the jumping cursor for my girlfriend on an IMac
She has to type it each session, though...
