Mouse clicking issue: Mouse is there, clicking doesn't work at all [ Edited ]

[Akinichi]

I just bought the trilogy of this game but right after launching the game in full-screen I noticed I get my windows cursor (small white arrow). I thought it was funny at first because games usually change your cursor so it looks according to game. I could move my mouse yet clicking doesn't work at all, not in the main screen, not when creating your character, nothing.

I went back to the main menu and made it to Options > Configuration > peripherals and there's this option that says "Mouse: NO" so I turned it into "YES". My mouse appearance changed into a transparent looking mouse with a blueish outline.

But besides of being a fancy movable object it still won't click at all.

I've read a lot of "mouse issue" solutions out there so I decided to be as detailed as I could because non of these solutions has worked for me. I have nothing plugged in to my laptop except for my mouse/keyboard USB drive. It's a Genius mouse and it works on every game, every software, except this game.

I wonder if someone has had the exact same problem and also if anyone has found a solution that doesn't involve loggin into a new windows user account or using comodo antivirus or going from window mode to full screen and lowering graphics quality...

Here's a link to a video that shows the issue: https://youtu.be/HM803sWSnDA

I FOUND A KIND OF LAME SOLUTION

Go to your origin app, then right click the game, choose properties of game and check the option "Deactivate Origin for this game". After doing this, everything worked properly. Don't ask me why it's working after that. I guess EA just fails at things

So does it work in full screen mode? Windows Mode is often the trigger for a lot of issues, games usually are programmed for exclusive or normal full screen mode.

Furthermore, I can't see why you have to lower graphics quality in full screen mode, your Laptop shouldn't have any problems with this game at all.

It doesn't work no matter what I do... If you saw the video, the same happens in full screen mode. I also tried the Origin option "Repair game" and it's still the same

Go back to your in game settings, disable "Hardware Mouse" also disable "windowed mode".

exit the game, exit Origin, restart Origin and then the game > test
