    So beta is already out? I thought that wouldn't be coming until tomorrow (for me, since the time difference).

    You reporting about possible game bug or software compatibility problem. There is no point in such report without information about your hardware and software. Even if this isn't drivers problem information about hardware help devs (and me) find correlations if multiple people have same problem.

    No, we're still in Alpha - testing the "Beta Release Candidate" build. Once Uber have a build they're happy to release as Beta, then we'll be in Beta :)

    But problem isn't really fixed, can you upload system information (DxDiag) please?

    He is right. People need to know the system details to help.

    This workaround does get rid of the problem. It doesn't seem to be drivers. So basically if you change it to Windows rather than full screen you can see your mouse pointer. Hopefully Internet see this bug and add it to the list.

    What exactly didn't work? You can't open this page? You can't download driver? It's fail to install?

    Hi guys,

    just for protocol.
    I miss my cursor too.

    I have an ATI Radeon HD 7800 with the latest official drivers from march 29. (2813)
    I updated the drivers. Had a version from Dezember 2012 before which had the same issue.
    I have Windows Vista 64, maybe this is an issue? Never checked wether Uber still supports vista as an Operating system.

    However, after setting Display settings to windowed It is there. So this will work for me, thanks for this tip.
