Cursor jumping to top-left of screen

Support Technical Support

Hi,

Since 11.1.7 dropped, when I press both the left and right mouse buttons together, my cursor jumps to the top-left corner of the screen. This behaviour only happens in WoW, so it seems very unlikely its driver / hardware related.

I have a Corsair Scimitar Pro, and I’m running on Windows 10 Pro. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Same issue here, whenever left- or right-click, or even both on the game screen, it snaps to the upper left.

It does not, however, do this at:

  • The outer edge of the game screen, about the area where Hotbar 4 and 5 are.
  • Any hotbar buttons.
  • Any group window interactions.
  • Any inventory interactions.
  • Any window interactions through the Esc menu.

So it’s clearly something on the ‘free area’ of the game screen that makes it snap to the top left.

Add-ons have been disabled and the WTF folder cleared (after making a backup)
No changes of the issue when starting with that.

Exactly this, it seems to be worse in the middle area of the screen. I’ve found a workaround for this after a bit of messing around though, and it seems like switching the API back to DirectX 11 resolves the issue. Obviously not ideal, but perhaps it’ll work for you too.

If you find the culprit using DX12 / a way to fix it, please let me know!

That helped a bit, thanks!
Still occasionally snaps to the upper left, but far less frequent now.

Just bumping this to see if anyone else is having this issue / has found a solution. It’s starting to drive me crazy.

Just a thought, could you try?

/console rawMouseEnable 1
/console rawMouseAccelerationEnable 0

If you don’t like it or if it does nothing to you, just revert 1 and 0 and input it again.

An interesting read.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, both commands seem to have no effect on this issue. I’ve tried both commands with both 1 and 0, and it makes no noticeable difference.

Same here, still snapping on the top left, even with the changes and staying on DX11.

Hey there!

I’ve found the culprit, even on DX12 – it’s one of the new compatibility settings, disable Advanced Work Submit, and the problem seems to go away entirely.

Hope this works for you too, Vilral!
