I found that many FPS games were spinning out of control when I looked to the right, towards my 2nd monitor, and especially if I looked towards the bottom right corner.

I found that constraining my mouse to a window using software didn't help much, if at all. What did help was moving the displays so that they weren't touching, but that was inconvenient. I tried setting the mouse polling in advanced settings to 20ms, but that didn't make a difference, nor did I know the default polling rate anyway.

Eventually I noticed that the issue went away completely when I closed Displayfusion. But that wasn't a great option either, since I like Displayfusion and use it for window management. So I went through the mouse settings, and it turns out that it was the "Prevent mouse cursor from sticking in sticky corners" setting. As soon as I toggled that setting off, games are back to working completely normally, with no need for me to lock the cursor or move the monitor position in windows. ]]> RE: Lock Mouse on primary monitor during gameplay https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#31 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 19:48:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#31 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that adds an advanced setting to adjust the mouse polling.

Just curious if there was any update on this. I would love to be able to use this funtion in games, but it's still an issue and as you point out it seem to be related to the games running taking precedence over the DisplayFusion ability to keep the mouse cursor within the monitor borders. Thanks Fray for the excellent workaround.

Just to re-iterate on the problem. First of all I got two monitors and my monitor desktop configuration is a simple horizontal left / right setup. The mouse lock to monitor works perfectly as long as I am on the desktop (not in any game).

However when in a game (in this case Elden Ring) which is running borderless fulscreen, having the mouse lock enabled to the Elden Ring monitor still allow the mouse to slighty move into the confines of the other monitor. It then looks like DisplayFusion detects it and catches it. However that short moment where the mouse movement is allowed is enough to basicially render this funtionality useless in games, because that short hijack moment esentially equates to having no lock in place.

Screenshot showing issue of cursor moving outside the monitor lock space while game is running. As mentioned it will only ever reach the confines of the other monitor space as it's then captured by DisplayFusion.

Happy to provide any addtional feeback if required. ]]> RE: Lock Mouse on primary monitor during gameplay https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#25 Fri, 30 Jul 2021 14:28:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#25 DisplayFusion Hello,

This is a bit tough, due to games stealing the mouse when they're running, which is why you see a bit of a delay before it snaps back to the locked monitor. We're going to add this to our list to see if we can improve it at all.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Lock Mouse on primary monitor during gameplay https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#24 Mon, 19 Jul 2021 23:21:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#24 DisplayFusion Can I assume that the "proper fix" still isn't in the development plan yet?

The error with the lock cursor to screen function only happens when gaming.

In your Monitor Configuration, Move your monitors diagonally from each other in the monitor configuration (like in the image file). You can even gap them a bit so that your cursor will never go into the other monitor.

Then, in settings, go into functions and under mouse cursor, make a key combination to move mouse cursor to the other monitor. Whenever that key is pressed, your cursor will immediately jump to the other monitor. If that sounds inconvenient, keep reading, there are some things below that will ease that.

I can quickly switch between my gaming monitor config (diagonal windows) and my not...gaming config (windows side by side, cursor able to drift from screen to screen) by saving a Monitor Configuration Profile for both of them. I'm able to switch quickly between profiles by going into Manage Monitor Profiles and setting up a key combination for each profile.

Also, be sure to go into Advanced Settings, and under 'Monitor Configuration' change 'Don't Show Confirmation Prompt' and the '(command line loading only)' underneath it, both to the value of 'Confirmation Prompts are not shown'. If you don't do this, then every time you switch profiles, you will have to click yes on the pop-up. Also, I turned off the Windows 10 notification so I didn't have to hear a sound every time I switched also.

This isn't ideal. I would prefer the 'Lock Mouse Cursor to Current Monitor' actually lock it in and not drift to the other monitor, but it does work.

Hope this helps someone, and I hope they fix the "Lock Mouse Cursor" option soon. ]]> RE: Lock Mouse on primary monitor during gameplay https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#18 Sun, 11 Jul 2021 20:43:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/lock-mouse-on-primary-monitor-during-gameplay/?ID=b9e35953-57cf-4679-902e-64d7e8c0a724#18 DisplayFusion The cursor does not stay within the monitor when using this feature.
