Running this on Windows 7 64bit, i5 2500k/Nvidia 980 and when I get into the game, there isn't a mouse cursor. I can see where it should be (by the selections underneath being highlighted), but it's not appearing.

If I run software mode, I can see it, but software mode brings a whole host of problems, namely locking up my entire PC to the point I have to restart it.

Is there any way I can make the mouse cursor appear in hardware mode?

Also, I saw people mention about a GoGsetup file, I didn't get that in my installation.

Edit: It seems to be a driver issue. Uninstalling the latest driver (347.25), installing 344.11 and then reinstalling 347.25 has fixed it. As I just got the card, I didn't have any previous drivers installed, so I guess it's down to that.

Just an FYI - I had this problem as the above fixed it as well. Downloaded the old NVidia drivers (344.11) and performed a clean install.

I also downloaded PoPEnchance here to get rid of the oddball D3D graphical glitches:

I still crash on high resolutions, so i play on 800x600 with an Nvidia profile to force antialiasing. It looks great now (even after I updated the drivers, the mouse is still visible).

EDIT: Google didn't turn up much for the popenhance.zp, so I posted a mirror here for prosperity:

Hey there, I recently bought the game and was so happy, but to my despair I see that I have the same problem as you two have. I'd love it if you could give a little simpler explanation on how to fix this problem with not being able to see the cursor while ingame. :)
