Besides from getting bad performance my mouse gets stuck occasionally. I can move the mouse just fine but sometimes it just gets stuck for no apparent reason... :/

Me too.

Just bought this for my wife as it was a favourite of hers.

It's not a major problem as you can just ALT&S to save and reload the game in a few seconds but it is a minor annoyance to her.

Make sure "enhance pointer precision" box is unchecked in the pointer options tab of the mouse properties menu in your control panel.

That fixed most of my mouse problems in a lot of dos box games.

Thank you :) That fixed it for me, the mouse was snapping to buttons. +1. Should be posted up on GOG basic support.

I don't have it ticked but my mouse still gets stuck to the left side of the screen. I can move it up and down but not left and right.

Does it happen all the time? I had mine stuck at the top, only allowing me to scroll left and right after several hours of gameplay. Fixed that by restarting the game. Have you tried that?

I am seeing the same problem. The game plays fine for a random amount of time and then all of a sudden my mouse starts tracking to the left and gets stuck there. I can still move it up and down but vertical proves impossible.

II have tried both mouse options (ticked, and unticked) and seen no different results.

I've also tried the different mouse options, with no luck.

It wouldn't be so frustrating if there was an autosave feature. But I get all wrapped up in things and then lose two hours of building.

There is an autosave feature, if you enabled it. It saves into slot 8.

Same issue, every now and then the mouse pointer just gets stuck in the left corner, have no choice but to force the game closed.

What's this now? I'll have to check that out. Go to options or settings or whatever to enable it? (i'm at work now, so I'll have to check it out when i get home). Thanks!

I haven't touched the game in a few weeks because i got tired of having to repeat everything.

I have had similar issues with Theme Hospital on my girlfriends computer, it tracks to the left and gets stuck there, only able to move up and down. Any possible leads on what causes this? She is using the diablo 3 steelseries mouse that was released not long ago.

Sadly, that didn't fix it for me. :(

I posted about it here...

The game is almost unusable to me since my cursor is jumping either to the left or to the right when I click. Tried restarting the game but it's still the same. I'm on a mac btw
