Bug Report cursor capture

[RUKAclMortality]

Hey..., I'm streaming COH and run in-to a problem when the mouse doesn't get captured even it is "checked" to do so...
I see the actions done on stream but no cursor it self.... Can this be fixed?

This is a bug with some games due to the type of cursors they are using and I hope to have it fixed in the future. When specifically I do not know but I do intend on doing so.

Doesn't work with Bloodline Champions either.
Big bummer really cause the game is dependent on the mouse cursor because its a game that requires aiming. Guess I will have to wait until an update for obs before I start streaming blc.

sorry getting out of topic but are you streaming COH with Game Capture or Software Capture??

I can confirm that the mouse cursor is not viewable while streaming Path of Exile, as well. I double checked and the check box is selected. It's not a game breaker by any means, but ppl enjoy seeing what is being clicked.

Unfortunately, I'm not good enough to figure out how to properly fix this, I know in part where the problem itself comes from; In addition to using a strange format for their mouse pointer images the games in question also usually claim that the mouse pointer isn't actually visible.

In the meantime, however, I can offer a workaround. Quite some time ago, I made a modified game capture DLL for a friend of mine, since the mouse pointer in the new King's Bounty games didn't show up. I decided to take some time to implement this properly as a setting, and made new 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs, available here:

You can replace your GraphicsCapture.dll with those to get the option to force the default mouse cursor. There's no localized UI string for it, sorry about that. Also, OBS will tell you there's an updated version of Game Capture available, since it differs from the one in the updater database, but it's based on exactly the same code as the most recent one, merely with the addition of the new option.
