Cursor missing? (Madden 04 PC)

Postby KingZeke8 » Sun Jun 30, 2024 3:18 pm

I recently upgraded my monitor (here it is if you need to know specifics https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C1KPXPM9) to an ultrawide monitor. Unfortunately now when I launch the game, the cursor is invisible. I've tried many things including running the game in compatibility mode, changing both my resolution and the games resolution and trying to match them but no luck. What do you think is causing this?

SOLVED

UPDATE: if anybody else (is still playing this godforsaken game and) encounters this issue, I found the fix:

-right click on the Madden 04 shortcut and select properties from the dropdown
-select the compatibility mode tab
-near the bottom, select change high DPI settings
-at the bottom, check the box that says override high DPI scaling behavior
-in the dropdown window directly under that, change the option to either system or system (enhanced). If one doesn't work, try the other

That restored my cursor visibility. Unfortunately, the maximum the in-game resolution can be set at is still 1600x1200x32 so if you are on an ultrawide, you will have black bars on either side of the game, but it is still very much playable.
