Mouse Cursor on twitch disappeared

[Shotgun]

So my mouse cursor suddenly stopped displaying in twitch the other day.
I didnt change any settings, someone pointed out its not there. You can see the green X where I click but not the cursor. After reinstalling about 400 times it seems it has come back but is now alwalways in the wrong spot, my cursor will be in minimap when in reality its not?

Any ideas?

Dropping the ddraw.dll from fois HD mod into your War2 folder should fix it (backup the original incase of issues)

If not there is the hardware cursor plugin (it's in the same zip)

HardwareCursor.w2p, HardwareCursor.ini and "Cursors" folder go in your War2Combat\plugin folder

Unfortunately this didnt help at all

You may need to update your Lambchops (LC.dll) for the hardware cursor, but I think that's a dead end

The widescreen patch has the latest lambchops plugin loader built in, no dlls are required.

Install the widescreen patch and set the resolution to 640x480 (in Warcraft II BNE.ini), you will not get HD icon and it will play almost exactly the same.

Play around with "Warcraft II Config.exe" if you don't know how to mess with .ini files, to see what works and see what settings you like visually.

Before you try the patch, try running DirectDraw compatibility tool (attatched to this post)

Point it at 'Warcraft II BNE.exe' and click apply.

Thank you! This worked. Now to try to get the game running a bit smoother. Graphics are a bit glitchy. What is the best renderer to use? I read GDI and Hardware mouse?

[Buttercraft]

I use opengl with custom shaders, ddrawcompat doesn't work with HD on my machine(config issue), it's a generic driver

when you say glitchy you mean you get jaggy graphics? put this INI in your combat folder, should clear that up
