Is there an option to use what other games seem to call 'hardware cursor' for those of us whose cursor seems to be a bit slow? If not, can this be implemented in a patch?

Cheers!

to put graphic option down does wonder
the game suggests you optimal graphic low middle or high
your cursor shall not be slow then

Oh, yes, I have the graphics on lowest (the game suggests higher - but all games suggest higher than is optimal for me, for some reason). There is a massive improvement, but it's still not as fast as it could be. Not as fast as it is here in Firefox, for example.

To give an example of what I meant in my last post: I have Homeworld 2, and the cursor is very very sluggish. It makes the game almost unplayable in multiplayer - I just can't react fast enough or accurately enough. Luckily, they have a command line thingy that you can add to the shortcut: -hardwarecursor. This makes my cursor act at the same speed as if I was just in MS Word or here in Firefox. It does not change the look or function of the game's cursor in any way. I was just wondering if we already have this in Hegemony, and if not, can it be implemented?

Ah, that's a pity. Ah well. No worries. I'll be playing this game for years to come, anyway, and I'll probably have a new PC sooner or later :)

Thanks anyway.

The way I understand it, software cursors are tied to the game's framerate, leading to possible poor response times for the mouse pointer. In a game which struggles a little on your computer then I can see the benefits of having a hardware cursor as it has the GPU draw the cursor sprite as an overlay independent of the game's graphics. It would make a potentially unplayable game playable.

Out of interest, what are the disadvantages of a hardware cursor? Incompatibility with certain graphics chips?
