:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Playing the game in Display Mode “Windowed”, the mouse curser will now leave the screen (As per Picture). The Interface option Clamp Mouse To Window is selected. This leads to being able to click outside of the game , the curser can reach the top of the screen rather than the top of the game. The curser can also move slight into the Start ribbon at the bottom of the screen , but not move to the bottom of the screen. Before the latest patch the mouse could not be moved outside of the game.

This leads to being able to click the Minimise Window during a game or to access the Windows Start Menu unintentional . This leads to leaving the game window.

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. In Graphics, set the Display Mode to Windowed.
  2. In Interface, Clamp Mouse to Window should be selected.
  3. One will be able to click outside the game.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

Previous Patch the mouse could not move out of the game window.

Previously one would only ever have the AOE curser in windowed mode (with clamp mouse to window selected) and not have the curse change to a normal window’s curser during a game.

Note, the issue is not there in Display Mode - Full Screen. But my PC suffers from lag (Framerate drops) in full screen display mode and I have been using the windowed display mode to stop that lag (Framerate drops) .
