Certain multi-monitor configurations cause random pointer jumping to center of display

It has taken me a very long time to find the root cause but I’m certain it’s the particular multi-monitor configuration I have set up. When I right click, very often the mouse pointer jumps to the center of the screen.

It happens in the middle of play. It has the effect of rotating my view at times, from where my mouse is actually located, to dead center of the screen.

I have one large display on top of 3 x 22" monitors in a horizontal layout. I play on the larger display though it isn’t set as my primary monitor. The bottom middle monitor is my primary.

I’ve recently replaced my entire computer and video card. This issue has followed me so it must be the way I have my displays configured.

0, -1800 is the position of the monitor I play on. The card is nVidia.

I’ve had this issue for at least the last year. Probably longer.

Have you confirmed that the issue is with the multi-monitor configuration by disabling the additional monitors? You mentioned that the display you play on is not set as the primary. Have we tried setting it to primary to see if that resolves the issue?

I get this on my computer as well, and I only have a single monitor. I do have a NVidia 1080ti and a Corsair Keyboard / Mouse so curious if there’s some other driver that could potentially be causing this?

Know what I also have a similar issue, but its only really been an annoyance for me. I run a triple monitor system each monitor is completely different in size so. If a blue needs further info regarding specs, just give me a shout.

Hey there folks,

I just wanted to chime in and let you know we have a few reports of this happening with different configurations and we are currently investigating it.

You can try some of the solutions offered in this thread as they have helped some players, but this may require further investigation before a permanent solution is found.

any updates to this? I am having this issue as well.

I’m glad I was able to bring this to light for so many other people. It has been going on for many years now. I’ve had this happen on ASUS motherboards with Intel chipsets and now an MSI board with an Intel chipset. Multiple video cards, but all nVidia. Since the new patch, the behavior seems to have slightly changed. I honestly cannot tell if it’s resolved yet since it’s so random to begin with.
