The mouse suddenly getting out of the game problem

  • Hey,

    I've got this problem where my mouse would randomly appear during the game, and sometimes make me click onto the red cross and straight close it. I've been looking for a solution but nothing works really. The problem has been here for more than a year I believe when I see some forum posts. Any plan for fixing it for real ? Without asking us to find a workaround ?

    The only thing you gave us is this :

    And this is ridiculous. Tbh I like the game, but I can barely play. This isn't a little issue, this is a freaking big one guys.

    Cheers.

  • To be honest you should first and foremost raise a ticket with support.

    Secondly if your game keeps tabbing out then that's proably a problem in your PC itself. A programme is then constantly trying to go into the foreground, try checking your Pc for malware, Malware is the only type of software I know that does that. You can also see in your system tray what programme is active at any time so you should se something flashing there asking for attention (adobe trying to update something is always a great example of this).

    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • The fact that it only happens with SoT among the 200ish games I got in my library kind of made me think that it could be related with the game itself. Don't you think ?

  • @hynieth the problem is that even in fullscreen the game runs in borderless windowed mode (sized to the screen)

    I have had the same thing happen every now and then it can be annoying

  • @callmebackdraft @Kikimacia if this is the only game you run in fullscreen borderless mode then it might cause problems you'd otherwise never have. I've been running borderless windows mode since I got a second monitor years ago. (it works so much better in all games to seamlessly hop to the internet and back into the game)

    I've had problems like this with Adobe updater, i've promptly removed all adobe products from my PC and the problem was solved. I've had customers who've experienced similar problems with malware installed that tabbed the screen often, for this I installed malwarebytes and removed the malware and the problem was solved.

    I feel that the problem isn't so much in the borderless fullscreen mode as it is in software that so badly wants to move into the foreground and thus tab out the game.

  • I got malwarebyte. And this is not the first game I would play in fullscreen borderless. And in my options I chose fullscreen.

  • @kikimacia said in The mouse suddenly getting out of the game problem:

    And in my options I chose fullscreen.

    "Fullscreen" in the options means Borderless Fullscreen. As a UWP framework application, Sea of Thieves has no true fullscreen mode.

  • And couldn't they put one in that case ? Is it hard ?

  • @hynieth thing is sea of thieves runs in borderless windowed mode per definition when you are playing full screen, you cant change that because that is how the game is built.

    I dont have these issues often but they happen every now and then that mid play (when using a item radial f.i.) sot release the mouse cursor allowing it to go up and show the top border including closing X.

  • @kikimacia said in The mouse suddenly getting out of the game problem:

    And couldn't they put one in that case ? Is it hard ?

    Not unless Microsoft adds it to the UWP framework, and they don't seem too keen on doing that. In fact, they may be abandoning it completely with the recent announcement that Win32 games will be able to be installed from the XBox store.

    It would be nice if Sea of Thieves ditched UWP completely as well, but I doubt that will happen.

  • Well so as expected the support keeps sending me uneffective workarounds. So I tried to download a software to lock my mouse in place that I can activate with a hotkey (Easy mouse lock), and it seems to work since the mouse won't move from the rectangle I set. I put Left 0 ; Right 5000 ; Top 50 ; Bottom 1000

    It seems to fix it for me so far. Hope people will see this.
