Is there a way to lock the mouse to the window or do I have to run some external tool?


Take it light....

Hi. What do you mean by locking the mouse to the window?

I believe I have the same issue. I have 2 monitors, one for the game, the other for anything else. I keep the conrol sheet open there for the time being. The issue is that the game runs in borderless fullscreen, so I keep clicking away from it. Even if I turn off the second monitor before launching the game I can still click off if I click on the left border of the main screen. I looked at the ini, but found nothing useful, so help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I think it's a problem in the way that Windows deals with "Extended" desktops.

To confirm this you can remove your 2nd monitor in Windows and run EECH again. It should be fine.

It looks as if, even though your running EECH as full screen mode, Windows knows it has a second monitor and extended desktop.

I always see two cursor pointers while in the game.

Sorry it couldn't be a more positive answer.

Cheers,

Andy

Yes, everything works fine now. I must admit, using only one monitor after so many years feels strange, but a man can get used to everything. Thanks!
