Just bought the bundle here on sale. Started playing LSL2 and also looking at the grafic differences of the LSL6 versions (SVGA vs VGA) and it was all playing fine.

But in LSL1 (VGA) my mouse is acting crazy. It's always acting normal first and then after like 20 seconds it's hopping somewhere else on the screen all of a sudden from one second to another, then again like 20 seconds normal and then hopping again etc.
Sometimes it's hopping to the opposite side of the screen, sometimes it's the top left spot and sometimes it's becoming invisible (being off-screen) and I need to circle the mouse to find it again. This drives me nuts, the game is not playable this way.

I already tried to disable mouse acceleration in my Windows 10 mouse options and several compatibility options for the executable file of the game, but that was of no avail.

I am on Windows 10 x64 and use a Logitech mouse + drivers (called Logitech Gaming Software 8.90.117).

P.S. hmm, just thought of trying to run the game in DOSBox instead of ScummVM, did anybody try that already with the GOG version? I guess it could work, since it's a DRM free version.

Fixed this by manually adding all old Larry games to my standalone installation of ScummVM 2.0 - also enabled me to use MT-32 music in all games up to Larry 6.

You can keep the games installed/updated via Galaxy, just tell ScummVM to add the game from the original install directory.

I guess this issue was corrected in later scummvm versions, it was due to how the program handled the capture of the pointer in windowed mode by default

EDIT: I forgot to say that in any case if the problem persist the solution is using the hotkets control+m to toogle the capture mouse behaviour
