This is something that I have noticed pretty much since i started zwifting and never got round to mentioning it.
when i am riding the cursor goes to sleep (isn’t visible on screen) but every 60 seconds exactly it will reappear on the screen before going again. It is quite annoying, easy enough to get around by moving the mouse to the far edge of the screen but i wondered why this happens? is it something zwift does to keep the screen active or something?
It has bugged me for longer than i care to mention - more in a huh kind of way not an argh kind of way!
I noticed this too. I got used to move the cursor to the screen edge near the menu button before start riding, but eventually I do something different, like a bike swap, and forget to hide the cursor, then it keeps coming back.
I reset my pc every 3 months and never change any setting related to it.
I do tend to roll the cursor to the edge to avoid it popping up with each change of music track. Tomorrow I’ll leave it on screen for extra vigilance.
I assume you’ve nothing else running?
no, and it happens on clean installs of windows and the game, on pcs that only have zwift on etc.
it isn’t the biggest issue in the world, as i do what you do and just move the mouse off screen but i’m really curious.
i had thought it was something zwift did to stop screens going to sleep while riding, a bit like those mouse wiggle things to keep your screen awake so you don’t have to unlock it all of the time
I have never seen this and I use a PC running Windows 11. I’ll try to pay more attention next time I’m using Zwift. Roughly where do you see the cursor arrow (or is it random)?
Hey, almost the same here on PC. On my system the mouse pointer never hides.
I’m streaming to a screen that is 5 meters from the PC and I consistently forget to move the pointer into a corner before stepping on the bike, so the pointer isn’t in the center of the screen all the time.
Really annoying but I never get off the bike to fix it, so apparently it’s not that bad.
