So irritating cant take the cursor dissappearing


Vancer2

Question

Theres nothing more annoying that the feeling of me having a good game and then *bloop* the cursor disappears and i have to alt f4. Is there any way to fix this. I read in a post earlier that its a DDraw error. But is there a way to fix it?

nope, open the config tool aka RedAlertConfig.exe and go to video options, uncheck CnC-DDraw

 

What kind of red alert are you using ? In case you don't have the config tool, here's an patch to update your installation:

that might also solve the cursor problem since a patch regarding this problem has been added in there too

If you are going to disable CnC-DDraw, I suggest you to enable Windows 98 compatibility mode in the main game executable (ra95.exe), and take a read in this thread. DirectDraw have serious issues with multi-core computers, and enabling this compatibility mode will automatically set the game yo only use one core.

 

Note that in Windows 8, I would recommend you to simple Install the Optative DirectX 9.0c components in order to get a better directdraw support.
