When I play Skyrim SE in full screen mode the default Mac cursor appears in addition to the in-game cursor whenever I click my mouse close to the top border of the screen. I tried different things and nothing worked: I have "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows" turned on in Wine configuration. I have Hot Corners disabled. I set menu bar and the dock to automatically hide. None of these things worked. I would be grateful if anyone could suggest what to do.
Hi,
same issue here. I played Skyrim before Sequoia 15.1 and it runs without the double mousepointer in the game. It has something to do with the MacOS Version i think. Please dear Crossover Team, fix that.
The only way to play proper woithout that anoying double mousepointer, to run Skyrim in Windowmode. But it kills a lot of atmosphere in the game an to have a good performance on a big 4k monitor, you have to turn the resolution really down. That cant be the solution.
I had/have the cursor issue in all games. Found a Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/l3pc13/m1_mac_mini_mouse_cursor_showing_up_ingame/) that had part of answer and I found the key "for me".
System Preferences:Accessibility: Turn off Shake Mouse Pointer AND Auto-Play Animated Images in same place and that is holding for me Disabling Shake didn't work by itself. I also CMD-Tab multiple times and that holds for a while or used to before the above.
Also, I use this in Terminal. It keeps Auto-Hiding docks from intruding. DO NOT USE if you don't understand what it's doing or how to disable it: defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 1000 && killall Dock
For those searching for a solution, I’ve noticed that the Dock seems to be the root cause of the issue in my setup. The cursor appears when it moves over the Dock, and since I keep mine on the left side of the screen and always play in first-person, I often slam the cursor into the screen edges when moving or turning quickly. This results in the double cursor issue happening frequently—too frequently for "temporary" fixes to be acceptable.
Workarounds like Alt-Tabbing, Cursorceror, etc., are more annoying than helpful. As a sneaky assassin, clicking on the wrong things breaks immersion and makes gameplay frustrating. If anyone has a permanent fix, I’d love to hear it!
Hi everyone I haven't had a chance to see how this performs for me yet but someone (actually all) should submit a ticket regarding this issue so they know it's not a one-user issue. My son, I think bought that for our account I'll try to test it tonight as well. If anyone gets a response to their ticket please post it here so others will know what's shaking with this weird bug.
It appears to be the Dock for me as well. It's incredibly annoying and impedes any progress and immersion. I hope there's a fix for this soon, because it makes me want to just quit until there's a fix.
OMG. This is exactly the fix I needed too!
Thank you!

OK GUYS I GOT A FIX
i've also been struggling with this issue for quite a bit, in Deep Rock Galactic and Dying light specifically, and i found a genuine workaround.
Install MouseCape.zip from here: https://github.com/alexzielenski/Mousecape/releases
this app allows you to make custom cursors.
you should see this: https://imgur.com/a/U3Seupj
Create a new 'Cape': Go to the taskbar and open the 'File' Tab > Click 'New Cape'
now you should see a new cape on your Mousecape window.
right click it, press 'Edit', now you should see a '+' icon on the bottom left corner of the window, press it. a new 'Unknown' tab will be created under 'Unnamed'.
Press it > Open 'Type' > Choose 'Arrow' > Now Download this image: https://imgur.com/a/1SF3bBf#BqsA8FJ (it is a blank 500x500pxls PNG) and drop it to the 1x square. it should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/LPNG216. Press the red circle to save and exit.
Double click the new 'Cape' you just created. and Cmd+tab into your game! the cursor should not appear.
IMPORTANT: in order to show you cursor again, you need to Cmd+Tab into Mousecape, and press Cmd+R. it will restore your default Cursor.
Thats it. hope it helped yall!
The double pointer is caused by how CrossOver grabs the mouse without a permissions prompt, the old way this was handled meant that each game would require permissions to control your mouse pointer.
Same issue here...
Can someone please fix this?
Playing Skyrim SE was one of the big reasons why I bought crossover.
What I would advise, as just a user, is to submit a ticket explaining the problem. They are usually fast about getting back to you. Asking them to fix it in a nonofficial support area won't help. Is this The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim SE? My son has that on our Steam account. I'd be happy to check it out if that's the one you are referring to.
I was struggling with this for a while and tried so many suggestions- this is the one that's worked, at long last:
https://github.com/Alien4042x/StealthPointer/releases
You can toggle the OS cursor on and off using a hotkey (it's set to fn+F1 and fn+F2 out of the box, but you can change in settings).
Hope it works for you, too!
