No Man's SkyHelp! Mouse cursor only moves down and right(15 posts)(15 posts)

I just patched to the Mech update and now my mouse cursor only travels down and right on the screen. I can't go any other directions. I've reinstalled the generic HID USB mouse driver and nothing helps. The mouse works fine for everything else.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Just bought the game yesterday for me and my daughter, played it for half an hour and today after update I can't move my mouse left and up, but she can. The difference is I'm on Win 7 and she is on Win 10.

Anyone found working workaround?

Steam Users talk about this bug here too: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/2149848024140426460/

The solution seems to be:

use ALT+TAB to fix this issue...

Hope it works! :)

( I think, Hello Games will this fix soon, if it not works, please wait till tomorrow evening )

It works for me, too. However the mouse still doesn't work correctly when first launched and in the menus. I have to load an old save, alt-tab and then load my current game. Annoying, but at least I can play. Thank you!

Edit: First run thru I could not ALT-TAB out at the first menu, but now I can.

Alt-tabbing just seems to freeze the game when I tab back in. For all I know it fixes the mouse issue, as I can hear sounds when I click the mouse etc after tabbing back in, but the visuals themselves are just frozen.



EDIT: Running in borderless windowed mode seems to have fixed the issue for now.

Go to: Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS and open the file 'TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS' with notepad.

Find the line: '<Property name="FullScreen" value="True" />' and change the value to false.
Find the line: '<Property name="Borderless" value="False" />' and change the value to true

Hope this helps someone!

I have an issue with ALT+TAB - very often it crashes the game. Even when on main menu. After I unlock the mouse and it doesn't crash I can play even longer sessions (unless I accidentially hit ALT+TAB, Windows key or any other action resulting in focus loss happens, like notification from external app).

I posted support ticket, hopefully they'll fix it soon.

Try pressing Windows key or ALT+CTRL+DEL. You can also try to ALT+TAB back to the game or click application on taskbar.

Happens with me too - after the update. Can only fix by doing the ALT Tab thing. Very annoying. Also it seems to have affected my ability to steer exocraft. HELP!

It's already a "Experimental Branch 07/04" live on steam, with a fix for this bug, you can read about here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/2149848024140952886/

I'm sure, we get this fix "official" very soon.

I am using the experimental branch on GOG and it did fix the mouse issue.

Why test it when you are sure it will work.
NMS developers.

Hey, they released a fix in one day, that's great anyway!
Beside, mouse was stuck only on some setups, ie. only one of my home computers were affected. It could slip past QA.

Well done Hello Games & GOG.
