Sleeping Dogs Disable the mouse cursor


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I just got Sleeping Dogs for PC and I'm using a gamepad for it to play. The issue I have is the mouse pointer will not disappear from screen. It's right in the middle of the screen. I don't use the mouse because this game I play through xbmc advanced launcher. The gamepad has no issues I control everything fine with it. Can anyone help on how to turn it off the mouse pointer

I found a solution to this issue because Batman: Arkham City did the same thing on the map screen.

This does the trick. It'll hide your mouse cursor until you re-execute it. You'll need AutoHotkey and you'll have to look into setting key combinations with it if you don't like the default.

I don't think you understand yea I can move the mouse to corner but this PC not your average desktop. I use a HTPC with remote so yea it's pain in ass to get up from couch and move the mouse..Call me lazy but if I was gonna do that might as well use the dam thing..lol

I ad this issue with Skyrim. What I did:

Find the sleeping dogs executable. If it is under steam is should be

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SleepingDogs HKShip.exe

Right click > Properties > compatibility tab - check "Disable Visual Themes".

Click OK. Run game. Report back.

As I said, this worked for me with Skyrim. I have no idea if it will help with sleeping dawgz!

Hope it helps.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
