Mouse Works but Pointer isn't moving?

[Keeyewsen 0]

That is my problem, in the menus my pointer won't move until I click somewhere else, it isn't the worst thing that could happen, but it definitely makes navigating the menus a little more difficult and its taken me quite a while to get my keys assigned properly. Anyone have the solution? It would be appreciated. :)

On another note, upon trying to respawn, I cannot it just gives me a "please wait" or "you are dead" message.

 

:( don't tell me I just wasted 30$

For the mouse, I get that sometimes with Alt+Tabbing to my other screen. I can fix it by Alt-Tabbing out again, and clicking both mouuse buttons in turn (i.e. not at the same time) and then Alt+Tabbing back to DayZ and doing the same. Seems the pointer gets confused as to what mode it should be in. Might help too, if you have a small program running in the background to Alt+Tab to. I've found the windows calculator is handy for that sort of thing. Just click into its window to make sure focus changes away from DayZ.

 

For the respawn, It's a known bug. Only way I've found to fix that is to log out of the server and log back in. Either way, you'll be packing for the coast with jeans and tee shirt.

 

Hope this helps.

 

PS: You haven't wasted your $30. Even in its current Alpha state, I've more than got my moneys worth out of it.

I tried alt+tabbing out of dayz and clicked the mouse buttons and clicked the tab to get back in, and it still isn't fixed, thanks for the note about respawning though

You may have to play in windowed for now if you can, if not you may need to edit your config file to do so. I had this problem and could not fix it, in the end I had to just use windowed. It should work for you.

 

I guess it's just a bug some people get.

How do I run Dayz in windowed mode? I am running windows 8.1

 

 

Sidenote: I'm just starting on steam, if this game is this shoddy and won't run for me after I spent 30$, would steam refund me? I mean I can't play the game like this, I have to spam click to see a semi-fluid motion in my mouse (everytime I click it moves to where I just clicked but won't follow me when I move it)

Bump for help. I really can't do anything in this game until I have a solution :S

Did this get resolved? I'm having the same problem...

Same here. No solution. How can we report this bug?! I can find a submit button on the bug report section

To fix this, go to Control Panel - Appearance and Personalization - Display - Make text and other items larger or smaller - Set the text size to 100% or 125%. For some reason if you set it to 150%, DayZ throws a smoke bomb at your mouse.
