I have browsed the other topics on this, which have been marked 'solved' even after multiple posts report issues and OP even says issue remains.
Overlay disabled - no help
Change to resolution - allows mouse/cursor at main menu and allows gameplay to launch however once game starts mouse lags and trails leading to the game slowing to the point of being unplayable.

@frankie1001 To confirm the issue your running into is you don't see the mouse courser in-game?
Do you get any error messages when crashing?
Which platform are you playing it on?

PC/Laptop - windows 10
No cursor at the main menu, once laptop res is changed to 1024x768 the cursor is then available to use however once campaign is loaded the cursor trails/lags and slows the game to the point of not working
there are no errors when crashing most of the crashes are at the initial game loading but the lag causes campaign to freeze you have to tab out and close the game

Unfortunately after trying all that its had no effect, I've read elsewhere that it could be a driver issue or something but ive not properly looked into that and will later. Another community, one dedicated to the DK series, have multiple posts on the topic so I'll have to sift through there.
In game settings list the Direct3d as a fake device, could this have anything to do with it?
Edit: I found this youtube video from generalcrow, it highlights some of the issue, unfortunately the fix files are no longer available

@frankie1001 there are some solutions in the dedicated DK GOG forums. You might want to give those a try.
I prefer to use GOG for old games (EA has quite a few oldies there), as they try to make sure that those old games are working on newer operating systems and modern hardware. So try their solutions, one may work for you.
I do not work for EA and i am not associated with the company in any way. I am a player just like you, trying to help wherever i can.I will not answer to any unsolicited PM.
