Title: Cursor disappears in-game MG-3.12, linux-x64
Post by: jammyjamjamman on 14 February 2016, 23:20:22
The first time this happened (several days ago), I joined a server, the server admin started the game, and it was when the game loaded I saw the cursor was missing.
Second time (today), I quit a 4v4 game (we were losing :P), and after clicking the exit button to leave the stats page for that game, my cursor once again had disappeared.

I've not been able to retrieve the cursor without restarting the game. Sadly no error reports popped up when this happened. It appears to occur when transitioning from the menu-to-the-game, or vice versa.

Do you mean cursor or mouse pointer?

In case you are referring to the mouse pointer, did you possibly accidentally hit the / (slash) key? This may easily happen unintentionally while using the English keyboard layout.
Hitting this key when the mouse pointer has disappeared should restore it.

Sorry er... I meant the mouse cursor, not the text cursor.

Hitting the slash key changes the mouse pointer from the megaglest pointer to the currently active desktop pointer. However, the mouse pointer completely disappeared in my case, which the / key cannot do. Also my hands were not near the keyboard when I noticed it disappeared.
If I notice it's missing again, I will try the / key in case it can return the cursor.

just got this bug again... I've found out however that pressing the slash key does indeed return the cursor.

I had this bug too now maybe 3 times. To me it happend when the game was finished and the end game stats were shown, the Mouse cursor suddenly was gone.
When I returned to main menu still remained hidden. Only pressing the "/" did bring it up again. So it looks like there must be a bug somewhere which can result in hidden mouse cursor.
