I just wanted to let you know that this isn't just with LoL, but it's with ALL windows that you try to enable this for. IE, Firefox, The Display Fusion Settings window, everything allows the mouse to escape the window for roughly 1-1.5 seconds. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#15 Thu, 19 May 2016 19:20:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#15 DisplayFusion I've had a chance to look into this further, and we're not using hooks or polling, we're actually just using a built-in Windows API function to lock the mouse cursor: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms648383(v=vs.85).aspx

I'm not sure if there are any adjustments we can make to improve it, but I'll test this out with LoL and put it on our list to investigate.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#14 Thu, 19 May 2016 01:28:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#14 DisplayFusion .

I recently installed Windows 10 and when I did, League of Legends doesn't want to keep my mouse cursor in the window in windowed mode anymore. So it literally makes it impossible to play that game.

I can't use cursorlock since league of legends uses an .exe after launching the main .exe so it's a bit of inception when it comes to creating a shortcut that works which is why I wanted to just use DF for this.

I've attached a screenshot of the Hook App that you asked of the OP prior if that helps.

If you could possibly find a way to set the polling rate of the cursor lock to be dynamically adjusted between 10ms-5000ms, that would solve all of this I believe. Right now from how it is acting, it seems to be refreshing at a polling rate of 1000-1500ms which is how long it is taking for the mouse to snap back into the window after going outside of it. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#12 Mon, 25 May 2015 16:51:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#12 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks for testing that! We can definitely still troubleshoot if you're interested. I just wanted to see if it was a generic problem, or a problem specific to DF

From the troubleshooting info, it looks like the DF application hooks aren't running. Can you check Task Manager > Processes to see if the "DisplayFusionHookApp.exe" processes are running? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#11 Sun, 24 May 2015 15:46:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#11 DisplayFusion Thank you so much for your reply.
Yes I have been using Cursor Lock, but it only works if I set the settings to the below.

Poll Rate (ms): 10
Lock Region: Window Interior

I'm happy to use Cursor Lock but I thought we might try to find why this problem happen, encase someone else also runs into it.

I would like to thank you again for your time and help trying to work out this problem. If you need anymore info please don't hesitate to reply. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#10 Thu, 21 May 2015 17:15:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-lock/?ID=3a025709-7403-423a-8071-94f4d8448e88#10 DisplayFusion Thanks! I don't see anything fishy in the log at all

We just use a built-in Windows API function to lock/unlock the mouse cursor, so I'm wondering if it's an issue with that. Could you try this cursor locking application to see if it also has the same problem?

First I would like to say this program is so good. It give me so much more freedom with my multi monitor set up.

I have a game that doesn't lock my mouse to the game window, in windowed or full screen mode. I thought I would try the lock mouse function in DisplayFusion, but it doesn't work very well. When I turn the lock mouse on (pressing the shortcut keys I have set) it does sort of lock the mouse to the screen or window but the mouse will go out of the lock area for 1 to 2 seconds and then snap back in. This is a real big problem when playing a fast pass game, because once the mouse has moved out of the locked area and a mouse button is pressed the game minimizes.

Is there anyway to fix this? ]]>
