Mouse Click in VR Has Gone
-
If I take my headset off to look at the 2D screen my mouse cursor is there and works. When I put the headset on I can see the dot where the cursor is but I cannot move it.
Once in the pit I have no mouse click cursor at all.
How do I restore this?

I’ve solved it in a roundabout way.
My process was to start WMR then Steam VR then BMS. This left me with the reported problem, ie no mouse cursor when the headset was put on.
I messed about with the config files but still no cursor in VR.
I then wondered if there was an issue with WMR and SteamVR. My WMR is for Steam and I wondered if there was a doubling up of programs. Anyway I fired up WMR and then shut down SteamVR. I went into the WMR “home” and the mouse arrow was available. I then started BMS. The Steam VR room opened with the BMS window hanging there as usual. The cursor was now available to use. Crucially it is still there in 3D.
In summary:
Start WMR. (shut down Steam VR if it opens)
Enter the WMR room, let it load and ensure the mouse cursor is there.
Start BMS
The cursor should be there.I hope this is of help to others.

@danster This post might get better attention if you mention quest2 in the title, or post in the quest / meta sections. There’s different start procedures/issues for each different headset, and while Iv’e had the disappearing mouse issue, its related to VR settings / start up and not BMS in my experience.

@Fish44 Thank you

@Griffin Sometimes I have to use Windows key + Y to get the mouse to work. In WMR this key combination switches the focus of your input devices between monitor and VR.
Why this is necessary, I don’t know, because the sensor in the headset should detect whether I’m wearing it or not. But that’s how it is for me.
