Can't use RDShade -- mouse cursor not visible

Recommended Posts

Today I tried to use my recent purchase of RDShade.

But, unfortunately, it is unusable -- the mouse cursor disappears whenever it is over the RDShade window! It is visible only in the Menu bar at the top.

For information, I am running three screens -- two on projectors, one a standard monitor. The projectors display P3D on a curved screen, with image correction and blending by SimVis's "TruView" (software based on Immersion Pro, I think). The projectors are showing at 3840 x 2160 at 25Hz whilst the monitor is 1920 x 1080 at 50Hz.

The cursor disappearance is the same no matter whether its Window is on the Monitor or overlaying part of the P3D display. It's also the same without P3D or the Truview program running, so nothing should be interfering with it in any way.

I'm currently using nVidia drivers 511.23 DCH -- I'll try again with the latest driver. My Windows is Win10 version 21H1 Build 19043.1526. The GPU is the RTX 24Gb Titan.

Can anyone help, please?

I've now installed nVidia drivers 512.15, and they seem to have fixed it -- so far at least!

No, that wasn't a solution after all.  The cursor disappeared again as soon as I ran P3D with the warping software running.   It is okay if I don't run the warping program (TruView).  So I can make adjustments, but not whilst actually using P3D (the uncorrected curved screen distortion makes it almost impossible to fly).

I'll ask the TruView folks about this too, but it is odd that, of all the programs I use, only RDShade has this problem. Perhaps someone in RDPresets can tell me exactly what display methods are being used for the RDShade window as I'm sure the TruView author would need to know to understand what is going on.

Thanks

Hi Pete,

Thank you for reporting this issue, we will look at it from our side as well, we haven't tested the software with truview during beta so this is new for us. Luckily you have found a solution for the short term while we take some time to see if we can solve this issue in the long term 🙂

Thank you!

I think I may have found a more usable solution: run RDShade first, before starting TruView.

I presume it must be some initial setup which fails in the RDShade case when Truview gets there first? Maybe some sort of hook where the order of hooks is important?
