Cursor/mouse icon displays incorrectly

[TFRAGCAT]

• Game Version: 17.36100

• Build Number: 16048929

• Platform: Steam

• Operating System: Windows 10

Issue: The cursor/mouse icon will not change to the context correct icon. For example, the cursor will display the standard icon even when you have a villager selected and mouse over a gold vein. The mouse sometimes won’t even change at all, and remains the default cursor for windows, or even the loading circle.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to figure out how to take a screenshot that includes the mouse icon.

Trigger Event: This typically occurs at startup, but it can also be triggered when alt tabbing in and out of the game.

Repro Steps:

1. Launch Age of Mythology: Retold.
2. If the mouse cursor displays correctly on the main menu, alt tab out of the game, then alt tab back in. Alternatively, you can sign into your XBOX account, which accomplishes the same thing. The mouse should now be the default windows cursor
3. If the cursor is still the default mouse for AoM, load a campaign game or skirmish and see if the context sensitive cursors display correctly.
4. I was able to replicate the issues three out of four times, typically right when starting the game.

I’ve had this issue a lot too.

Mouse cursor bugs out sometimes

Game Version: 100.17.18697.0 Build Number: 447449R Platform: Steam Operating System: Windows 10 Issue: Signing in to the Xbox network for the first time (using the pop-up sign-in window) bugged out my mouse cursor. It stayed on the loading wheel until I changed tabs out of the game. When I went back in, the mouse looked like a normal Windows cursor instead of the standard game cursor. From that point, if I hovered over something, the cursor would change but be stuck as whatever it ch…

Another report:

Cursor

Sometimes after issuing a command, the cursor remains stuck as whatever that command was. For example I’ll issue an attack command with military units. Then deselect them, the cursor will still be the little sword. Issuing a new type of command will then change the cursor to whatever that command was. It will never return to the default cursor.

Hi @TFRAGCAT, thank you for the report. This is a known issue and is already tracked

[TFRAGCAT]

Ah, my apologies. I looked through the tracked issue page but I missed that this had already been reported. Thanks for responding!

@TFRAGCAT

tracked issue

So I just checked the Known Issues & Solutions page where stuff like this (if unsolved) should get tracked but its not listed (anymore?) which I would assume would mean this is fixed ?

Sadly, this bug absolutly still exists. After launching the game, my mouse curser (in-game) either…

• …defaults to the windows cursor (instead of the standard game cursor) and is stuck like this until I restart the game (it never changes, even during gameplay).
• …defaults to the “loading” animation of the windows cursor (also stuck until restart, also no changes during gameplay).
• …switches constantly between the icon associated with the last given command (i.e. lumber icon after clicking a tree with vills) during gameplay
• …is missing some icons during gameplay (mostly the bucket icons when you deposit resources with villagers)
• …is working correctly

So whenever I boot up the game there is a very high chance that the cursor is bugged already in the menu…and even if it looks like its working correctly I always have to double check and start a game vs AI to make sure that I dont have any of the other cursor bugs. Very frustrating.
