On the GOG versions of the Baldur's Gate games if you have the Mouse Trails enabled on windows, running the game at full screen have a bug in which the mouse cursor disappear.

By running on windowed the cursor is back again.

I you are like me and love the Mouse trails, is a pain on the arse to constantly going to control panel to disable them.

So I create a set of scripts.

The set of scripts can be downloaded from https://gbatemp.net/download/gog-baldurs-gate-full-screen-no-mouse-cursor-fix.38812/


The files included are:

MouseTrails.ps1

This small PowerShell script is able to change the Mouse Trails settings, you can pass a argument, the argument is a numeric value between 0 and 7, where 0 is disabled and 7 the max trails settings.

Also a file MouseTrails.cmd which is a small batch file which first disable the mouse trails and then run the baldurs.exe waits and when finish re enable the mouse trails.


You can change the GOG game link to run the Batch file, just copy the files inside the zip in to the Baldur's Gate (I, II or III) and edit the .lnk file to replace BALDUR.EXE to BALDUR.CMD

    Shouldn't be, because these anti cheat suites pretty much all natively support linux if I'm not mistaken, and it's down to a literal checkbox that they're not ticking.
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    Would you really install a kernel level anticheat program if it existed though? I sure wouldn't.

    I'm not sure, I don't think I've ever had covid. The symptoms don't seem to line up that well.
