  • What is your character name in New World: Kinhard
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Valhalla
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: While using MB2 (mouse button 2) to aim or block the cursor will pop up on the screen when releasing MB2. It makes it so I am unable to aim my character anymore until I open and close one of the menus. This makes the combat unplayable because every time I aim with the bow the cursor pops up and I can’t aim. Please see link below for a Youtube video I uploaded of the issue.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Unable to aim my character due to cursor popping up during normal gameplay. See above description
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Only by opening and closing the map or escape menu or any other window. But after getting the cursor to go away it comes back as soon as I aim again. I also tried changing resolution with no change, I disabled fullscreen affects in the compatibility window of windows but no change. Different mouse with no change. Swapped key bindings but no change.
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: New World Mouse/Cursor bug - YouTube
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Random - while aiming or blocking with mouse button 2 (right click)
  • When did this happen? (Relative time; please include your timezone) 06/05/2022 @ 11:30AM Mountain Time, and it also happened a week or two ago but I’m not sure exactly when. I verified the game files in steam and it seemed to fix it for a while.

@o-o Thank you, it finished reverifying the files & then I logged back in and it went away for a few minutes and then it happened again. I continued playing for a minute and it stopped again. Sounds like it is very intermittent.

I lost ability to auto attack. This happened after equiping this shield (with pvp perk) and going into outpost rush.


Reverifying game files helped. Let’s see if this happens again.

Ive just returned to the game and Im also having the same problem - thats sucks. Does anyone solved the problem? :frowning:

Massive bug, and it’s getting worse. I have to reload my game client entirely every few minutes now. This is unacceptable. Your locked in your screen view. Gets you killed super fast. Please look into this ASAP. It’s unplayable for me now.

Nope. The only “fix” I’ve found is to completey restart the game.
