Lock the mouse to one monitor

Post by Tycow »

Hi guys,

Just purchased Legends (and now waiting for my code ;)) but I've noticed something odd.

I have two monitors hooked up to my graphics card, and when playing the game/flying, if I move the mouse off the game monitor, the mouse cursor appears on the other monitor. If I then click, the game minimises.

Is there anyway I can lock the mouse to just the game screen?

Cheers! :)

:mad:

My hour thirty is up... guess I have to wait for the key to arrive! :( Any hints on how long it takes for it to arrive? Apologies for being impatient, I want to carry on playing! :D

I beg your pardon?

That is a legitimate way to 'lock the mouse to just the game screen' - and is the only sure-fire way I've ever used when I want the mouse to stay put on Monitor 1 when I'm using a multi-monitor system.
