Fall creator update for windows breaks things

Oct 18, 2017 Luxen link
Only found 2 things so far - mouse is unuseable (mouselook on or off), and the app minimises when it loses focus (even if focus is on another moniter, which is what I use to do). if I find anything else, Ill post here.

damnit microsoft!

Good god. How can they break "mouse movement"?!

Can you give us any details on your system, hardware, setup? For instance, you apparently have a multi-monitor setup. Are you using multiple virtual desktops as well?

How is the mouse "unusable"? Is the mouse cursor there, but skips around or moves incorrectly? Or it just never moves at all? Does it work in either the game UI (station/PDA) or the flight-mode of the game?

Details can help us track down the problem more quickly, in case the issue is somewhat "system configuration" dependent.

Thanks much.

It only affect in-flight; the mouse wobbles like windows is forcing it back in center and the game is thinking that as where the user is moving it to (Video showing input borkedness). if I move it very suddenly, it pops onto the other moniter, and VO doesnt register ANY mouse movement until I put it back over the moniter VO is fullscreened on. I kinda have difficulty beleiving its configuration weirdness, when the only change between when it worked and when it didnt was when I got that update.

Windows 10 (Clearly),
Intel i7-3770 not overclocked
MSI - Z68A-G43 (G3)
MSI - GTX 750 Ti

Multiple Virtual desktops? afaik I'm only using the 2 physical ones, and dont use window's "Task View" thingy (though, that also means its set to whatever the default for it is i guess). both physical desktops are 1920x1080, though ones an AOC 2425W and ones a VIZIO M220VA.

Mouse works as it should in the menu or if I open the chat interface. Joystick input works completely fine.

Fortunately, I havent discovered anything else broken, so I am assuming/praying thats all they changed.

Anything else you need to know?

Thanks for the reports.
A fix for the mouselook issue will be released tonight.
It doesn't look like we can do anything about the auto-minimizing issue, as it's a change with Windows itself. If we do figure out how to fix this problem, we'll fix it.

You fixed the one that would be a real problem, thats what counts. I can ignore the auto-minimization mostly easily, and didn't consider that any bit major.

Awesome, Ray, thanks for the fix, and everything else you guys do!

So, SimVR mode doesnt minimize when the app loses focus >.<

Huh, very strange. I confirmed it here.
