Good afternoon! The problem is that the cursor resolution doesn't change at all when setting the desired resolution (I set it to 1600x1200) in Hammers of Fate and Tribes of the East. There is no such glitch in the original game. I've attached screenshots. It's simply unbearable to play with this cursor. In Hammers of Fate, if I set "hardware cursor" in the settings, the problem disappears, but instead of the cursor, a regular mouse pointer appears, of course :smile10: (although when hovering over neutral creatures or a castle, the in-game cursor is displayed and in the CORRECT resolution). I have the Gold Edition (all patched to 1.6, 2.1, and 3.1). I didn't have any problems with 1.6; I bought it as soon as the game was released, and I got the Gold Edition recently. Accordingly, I installed the add-ons from the Gold Edition. What is causing this, and how can I fix it?

And around, dead people with scythes are standing, and – silenceeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I probably made a mistake with the topic, and graphical glitches don't fall under the category of technical issues with the game... yeah...

What happens if you select a hardware pointer in the software?

Mongol, in the first screenshot, are there 2 of your heroes? If so, then there is no bug. The hand is always displayed when pointing in that direction. In the second screenshot, is that your castle? If not, then everything is as it should be. Or do you think they are too big? If so, I don't know. Try uninstalling the game, cleaning the entire registry, and reinstalling it in a new folder.

I was also surprised when I looked at the screenshots. I've always had these cursors, and I thought that's how it should be. But what's the glitch?

I don't know, I have the same problem with Gold Edition. In Lords of the Realm, the same issue occurs - the cursor becomes a Windows cursor instead of an in-game cursor when hovering over an item on the map, but in the main menu, everything is fine - the hardware cursor works as it should... it's strange.

Oh! There is life on Mars! :)\

Lux in tenebris, Olga, the issue isn't with the cursor's designation (it's clear that it's a "hand" during trading and a "sword" when hovering over spellcasters, neutrals, etc.), but with its incorrect graphical display (pixels).\
Look at how huge the cursor is; it's not even a cursor (at 1600x1200), it's a cursor-monster! )) It should be about 3 times smaller.\

N'Gasta, so I conclude that this is a problem with the Gold Edition, specifically with the Succession Wars add-on in it.\

And in the original game (Amaranth and thank you), when "hardware cursor" is enabled in the settings, it (the cursor) starts to display correctly.\

Lux in tenebris, I think I'll do that, I'll uninstall the first add-on (Inferno). If it doesn't help, that's fine too; nothing can spoil my enjoyment of the game anyway.

No, reinstalling the game twice didn't help, so it's probably not the issue...
But this only happens in Stronghold; everything else works fine for me.

You just need to change something in the game settings, I think, by checking the box next to "hardware cursor"... But I prefer it this way – small and not immediately noticeable.
