Title: limited mouse movement at 1080p
Post by: dox1842 on November 14, 2016, 10:39:14 am

So I have my screen resolution set at 1080p. In the menus after I launch the game my mouse cursor has a very limited range of motion. I can only move the mouse in a box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Its almost like the display is at 1080P but my mouse only has the range of 1368 by 768 or whatever the lowest resolution is. I have an alienware laptop hooked up to my tv and I noticed that I cannot even select 1080p unless I turn the display on the laptop off. Maybe this is causing a conflict?  :confused:

So the laptop's screen isn't capable of 1080p by itself? I can imagine that causing problems, although it would be rather hard for me to reproduce with the hardware I have on hand...

Try adjusting your DPI settings.

How do I do that?
