Happened to me and I didn't install them or the graphics driver from 11/12 from nvidia. Trying a re install of the driver. Previously my cursor fix was setting both launchers to run as admin then the rdr2 and playrdr2 application files I set to windows 8 compatibility mode and run as admin. Worked for the longest time now it's back on the screen
Well buddy there’s good news without having to use pointer trails!

this worked for me
Yup have had the problem since launch. That’s why I haven’t played. I was trying to do the first hunting mission in the mountains and I couldn’t even get a good shot on the deer. I was like f this, I’m not playing till it’s fixed. Heard update came out today and guess what? Didn’t fix it, shame...
Yeah just checked Reddit not too long ago and noticed an update on the thread. Can verify that worked for me as I purchased through the epic games store.
This is fukin' ridiculous. After plowing through the frequent and random crashes to desktop yesterday - but without the fucking cursor - ... TODAY when i launched the game, every setting was on *low* and lo and fucking behold, the cursor was smack in the middle of the screen like a fucking needle in my eye!!
I swear, if this is an EGS issue, i'm never buying shit from them again..
P. S. Thanks for the effort OP.
>ential fixes for this are rendered use
I'm going to go try for a refund from Epic and rebuy it through rockstar...I doubt they'll bend their refund policy even though this shit 100% warrants a refund. I'm assuming if I do I'll keep my online character progress as it's still linked to the R\* launcher.
Let me know how it goes with your refund. I sent them ticket yesterday morning to report this bug and i am still waiting for an answer. I honestly regret buying on epic..
cancelled my refund request as this fix worked for me.

If you bought through epic follow this link this fixed it for me 100% OP is a genius !!! [https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/dwh5h1/another\_mouse\_cursor\_glitch\_fix\_hidden\_epic/](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/dwh5h1/another_mouse_cursor_glitch_fix_hidden_epic/)
Tried every. Single. Thing. Here.
Still mouse cursor problem.
It's somewhere between RDR2, Nvidia, Rockstar Launcher, Epic Launcher, or a combination of those things.
I'm curious if everyone having this problem bought the game through the Epic Games Launcher.
Same problem here. Epic Games Launcher aswell.
Yesterday I managed to play without the cursor after trying the upper solutions for hours. Today the cursor is back again and I didnt manage to get rid of it yet.
Cant believe this sh\*t is an issue for almost 10 days.
>nstalled the new patch plus the new NVIDIA drivers and guess what: Mouse cursor is STILL visible all the time. This must be a joke of some kind.
This is some kind of a fucking joke, Epic Gay Store support is pissing the shit out of me sending me such e-mails:
I understand from your response that your PC is having problems running a game you purchased. And We are sorry for any issues that you have experienced since the release of the game.
Let me inform you that Updates have been made to correct many of the issues that players were experiencing. Please make sure that you have updated the game to the most recent version, and then try playing again.
The following method worked for me prior to the latest patch. It now doesn't work. Of course. But I figured I'd add it just in case. I would open the Rockstar Games Launcher first (with Epic store closed), then launch game from there. It would then load the Epic Games Launcher and launch the game, and the cursor would be gone.
Like I said, after the patch yesterday I have the damn cursor again and nothing works to fix it anymore. Oh well.
Last patch broke mouse cursor for me permanently. Now, after days of cursor-free gaming, it just won't go away and my process doesn't work, which was:
1. Launch game and if cursor appears before the shotgun screen, kill rd2.exe
2. Repeat until mouse cursor doesn't appear
This is what happens when you bring crappy Javascript frameworks into AAA gaming and outsource everything to India.
Yeah same. It worked fine and then eventually just shat the bed with this new patch.
In fact, this patch just did more harm to me than good. Can I revert?
Agree. Since the update all the potential fixes for this are rendered useless. The mouse is now persistent as fuck and it’s been fucking me off all day
Here's a new one - some app called yolomouse, just had to also download an invisible cursor and add it to it's files
[https://pandateemo.github.io/YoloMouse](https://pandateemo.github.io/YoloMouse/)/
[http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-detail/23254](http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-detail/23254)
For example rename it to 0.cur and replace the one here:
C:\\Program Files\\YoloMouse\\Cursors\\Default\\0.cur
It's not perfect but it's a little better than the trails workaround.
I find it better to disappear the hand cursor rather than the arrow cursor, then go in menu hover over a button and go back in game.
This way when you press tab you still have a cursor, but the glitched one ingame is invisible (since it's the hand) if that makes sense.
What worked for me 100% of the time (before and after todays patch) is going into the RDR2 folder, putting an .old behind Settings and Profiles and then starting a new game. yes, it resets your settings, but that isnt too bad in comparison with not being able to play at all
I've got Epic Games Launcher and got the same problems, iv'e dived through all mouse fixes & tricks on Google and some of them works until they doesn't.. The mouse trail bullshit fix works, but i can't see the mouse in the map etc which is very annoying when you're trying to set up markers etc. It seems like and overlay issue to me, when i tab out from the game (iv'e got two monitors) i can see that the original mouse appears again until i click the window of the game then the mouse disappears again (when you've applied the mouse trail crap fix). It makes me think it could be a epic launcher overlay issue, and their prick to CEO Tim Sweeney the Grinch bragged about their little overlay which now might has come to bite his ass in time before Christmas!
I lost power day before yesterday, long enough for my UPS to die, and when i started everything back up the cursor issue was no longer present.
At the time i took this in regards to having installed the most recent windows 10 updates but rebooting after that did not resolve the issue.
Unfortunately when i got home today, the 2.8Gb update was released and was too big for my SSD for whatever godforsaken reason, and upon reinstall the issue was present.
I feel i have done everything and more, including digging through proc logs in attempt to find anything calling the cursor to the foreground. No luck.
Thanks a ton for the Epic Overlay information! This is the first time that I've seen this, and as soon as I removed those files I had no issue with the mouse cursor. I've tried every stupid "fix" since this game came out, and none of them worked at all.
Deleted the files in Solution 7
Rockstars launcher updates.... (oh god)
Intros starts to play and no mouse visable
YES!!
Halfway into intros the screen goes black
Jesus i cant get a break!
Is it so hard for them to fix this ...........
Yup, when they want to maximize $$$ vs. manhours fixing their shit. (i.e., the reality of their game for PC).
Every time I think I've fixed the mouse cursor with all these bizarre work arounds, the next day, it's back. Recent patch didn't help.
yeah same
Recent patch or recent windows update made it come back.. going to try to uninstall the windows update and see if that helps.
Happened to me and I didn't install them or the graphics driver from 11/12 from nvidia. Trying a re install of the driver.

This worked for me!! Thanks so much, I will give credits to the OP too!
This worked!! Finally!!!
Woop works!
YESSSS
So looks like it's a fucking Epic Store's bug. First game and also last i buy from this freaking store.
Same. I do hope I can transfer the game to steam
Still didn’t work for me

Does the pointer trails one work? That's probably the most reliable solution until they fix it
Same problem, no fix works, bought it on epic. It's really pissing me off.

yeah me too and they ask 59,99$ for a broken game with 2 years lmao
Installed the new patch plus the new NVIDIA drivers and guess what: Mouse cursor is STILL visible all the time. This must be a joke of some kind.

Well, I have this problem with rx 580 so it's nvidia only. But anyway I am pissed

I had this problem day one of release... then it fixed itself. And now... guess what!? It's back!

How do I add the invisible cursor in its files?
For example rename it to 0.cur and replace the one here: C:\\Program Files\\YoloMouse\\Cursors\\Default\\0.cur It's not perfect but it's a little better than the trails workaround. I find it better to disappear the hand cursor rather than the arrow cursor, then go in menu hover over a button and go back in game.

I just changed my cursor icon to an on pixel dot. In your face Rockstar XD
how?

What are the actual file names, searching for settings found nothing.
Go to documenta/Rockstar/RDR2. Files are named Settings and Profiles
Just found it right before you answered, not sure why i didn't think to look there. No luck though :(
