illgot Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I use two monitors. One for the game, another for web sites. Even when I have the game set to fullscreen (not windows fullscreen) my mouse cursor will move to my second screen when playing GS. It makes my flight controls a bit messy because instead of turning quickly I have to drag my mouse the equivalent of two screens to change direction.

Morien Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I play on 3(Nvidia surround) with borderless window. Mouse movement just keeps going and soon I will use a 3+1 screen set. Could get nasty I would like them to limit it as it does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODTONE Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) agreed i also use my second screen for teamspeak when gaming to see whos on etc, or have a browser with crafting info, anything like that. since i do 3d grafics and music also i need my 2 screens for the tool space when i work. It does happen fairly often in space, trying to turn oops clicked a bit in the second screen game alt tabbed, tab back in alive if lucky, bad luck got killed, really bad luck suicide lol... i would also appreciate a kind of screen lock Edited December 9, 2013 by ODTONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keypek Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yeah would be really nice. I've killed myself so many times on satellites trying to do hard banks only to click my other screen and watch my ship fly right into something and explode as I frantically try to get my mouse cursor back over and click the screen lol.

Archellion Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Oh, extra monitors does this? Dang. That reticule should be bound within the largest circle. Edited December 9, 2013 by Archellion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oteefo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I switched mine to "over and under" rather than side by side.....as I tend to turn sideways most......seems to work...but taking some getting used to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlyLoki Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have a 3 monitor setup (well 2 monitors and a HDTV output) and my main screen is in the center so I'm getting it on the right and left It's a real pain trying to disable the other monitors too because I can't store the setup for them and have to rearrange and resize them all when I enable them again. This is the only PC game I have that doesn't lock the mouse when in full screen so I wonder why the Devs never added that functionality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonloris Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 This was something that was addressed during testing. There isn't a way to limit the movement of the mouse due to technical reasons. The devs did compensate for this by tightening the reticle a bit though. If you are still having issues with the mouse moving to another screen then you need to do one or two things. First stop making giant sweeping moves with your mouse. It doesn't take that much to turn in the game. Second and only if the first isn't working for you is to adjust the sensitivity of your mouse. most gaming mice have the adjustment for that on the top center of the mouse. I use two monitors myself and only run into the issue of my mouse going offscreen if I start the flight with the mouse near the screen edge already. Please try to make sure the mouse is in a general center position prior to launch of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marodel Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It would be great to have this functionality built into the SWTOR client. I always applaud indie solutions such as Cursor Lock. However, I wouldn't frown at it being added to the game as a native feature. Consider this my "me too" statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jontn Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) For that i've been using "Dual Monitor Tools" suite. It has a little application called "Swap Screen" which has the feature to lock the cursor on one or another screen. Run ti > Cursor Tab > "Lock Cur onto screen" > press "Change" and set your shorcut Have fun EDIT : I've been forgetting the link http://dualmonitortool.sourceforge.net/ Edited June 22, 2014 by Jontn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verain Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 For that i've been using "Dual Monitor Tools" suite. This is what I use, but recently I've been using it without TOO many incidents. http://dualmonitortool.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffanyID Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I realize this is a really old thread but it's one of the first results in google so maybe this'll help someone. If you have AutoHotkey you can use this script: Confine := 1 ClipCursor( Confine, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight ) ^F2:: ; Hotkey will toggle status ctrl+f2 Confine := !Confine ClipCursor( Confine, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight ) Return ClipCursor( Confine=True, x1=0 , y1=0, x2=1, y2=1 ) { VarSetCapacity(R,16,0), NumPut(x1,&R+0),NumPut(y1,&R+4),NumPut(x2,&R+8),NumPut(y2,&R+12) Return Confine ? DllCall( "ClipCursor", UInt,&R ) : DllCall( "ClipCursor" ) } Just save it as like cursorlock.ahk and run it with AutoHotkey. Then while you're in the game (though really it'd work whenever) just press CTRL+F2 and it'll lock it to that monitor until you press it again.

Verain Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I don't have nearly as useful an update as you do, but I will add that I eventually stopped using any cursor lock programs at all, as the game doesn't really require or reward you for hammering the cursor all the way to either side (it doesn't punish you for that either, and it's fine play- you just don't lose anything by not moving the cursor far enough to go off monitor).
