Escape The Emerald Star

[SebastianFinke]

I installed this earlier and in the options I set it to fullscreen. However in fullscreen the mouse doesn't work. It just sits in the top left corner of the screen. If I move the mouse very quickly then it moves away from the corner but immediately drifts back to the corner on its own. So now I cannot get back into options to unset the fullscreen thing. Tried uninstally and reinstalling twice but it doesn't clear the fullscreen setting. How do I fix this?

Sorry to hear that you are having issues @SebastianFinke.

Can you ensure that any overlay you may be running is closed when playing the game.

To disable the Origin overlay, you can click Origin > Application settings within the Origin client. Then choose the Origin In Game tab and disable it via the checkbox.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. The overlay thing didn't work for me. Has there been any updates on how to solve this issue?
Thanks

This solution has not worked for me.

I just fixed this exact same problem by right clicking on the program file in windows explorer and choosing properties.  I then picked the compatibility tab and chose "run this file in Windows 7 mode".  Now works perfectly in full screen mode.

Great to hear that you got it sorted @SteveZill.

For me on Windows 11 the fix for fullscreen and mouse bugs was to go to the compatibility tab and press "Change high DPI settings", then at the bottom check "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and change it to System. =)
