I do not see the cursor

Post by AlexanderSh88 »

Why, when you add a mouse (connect) to a virtual machine, I do not see the courseware on the desktop? If you go into the game, it appears, but you can not see it on your desktop.

Because most of the games do not use the "hardware" cursor of the host, but they draw their own one. A lot of the times it requires calls to graphics functions which may not work well in a VM.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
