i play in fullscreen windowed mode with 2 monitors (swtor on the left one, browser and other stuff on the right one), and pretty often after a slight cursor movement it escapes to the farthest end of the second monitor. i mean it's not the case of accidentally crossing the game border, the cursor runs far away on its own while it wasn't even at the border. i don't recall that problem when i played total fullscreen mode, but i switched to windowed fullscreen mode to prevent the infamous pink glitch during alt-tabbing. it's a huge pain to constantly fighting my mouse instead of enjoying the game >_< has anyone had such a problem? is there a solution?

i googled 2 advices to use programs: "Cursor Lock" and "Dual Monitors tools", has anyone tried them? are they safe to use and do they help?

I have not tried either and mainly try to keep cursor on main monitor.. or roll it in large circles to the game screen if it goes out of area.

@potent jewel Have you tried Cursor Lock yet? I also googled and it was also suggested.

thank you, i'll try it then =) i tried (unsuccessfully) to fix it with only mouse settings but there isn't much to do with them xD

Yeah... not much you can do on Windows other than disabling your 2nd monitor

#

Settings I'm using. Also, I always close it via Task Manager - Details because it still seems to run in the background
