jbertles Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 This is my problem; I've seen now several posts from others about this and thought it deserves a thread. On certain Macs (?) the pointer turns into a black box with a white line down the left side. This happens as soon as the loading graphics screen opens. While it does not affect the mouse functions, it does make the pointer somewhat unwieldy, especially in situations where there are a lot of units close together; or where you need a certain amount of accuracy to pick out a waypoint from the other paths. I've also seen something where the pointer appears, but the black box follows it around the screen like a slightly slower dog following its fleeter master. It's somewhat distressing since I already pre-ordered and would be <ahem> unhappy to find this on the final version. Just want to make sure someone notices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 About it being unwieldy: just use the upper left hand corner of the box as the 'tip' of the arrow. To get to the pointer with black box following variant: take a screenshot (command, shift, 3). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to immobilize the wolf's jaws with a muzzle before proceeding... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
