Hello everyone, I've just pushed an update to the game, which somehow deals with those of you who experienced lost cursor. Please note, that the situation is far from ideal, but it's better than not having any kind of fix. TL;DR; version: [b]if you experience lost cursor, press F11 and IMMEDIATELY return into probe (through the upper interface icon). It will fix it for you without further consequences.[/b] Long version (tech lingo and all that, so feel free to stop reading now): The case of a disappearing cursor is a complex and long one. First of all, it never occured to me and it's obviously hardware related (intel gfx cards are susceptible) so I never saw the cause, only the effect. After spending a lot of time trying to kill this beast, I traced it down to libraries engine is using, something which even with my best effort is for me unable to mend. Some sort of weird memory corruption is happening there with some cards and the result is that the game drops access to that interface object (consequence of a cascade memory leak). That's basically the reason why even after F11, you ran into all sorts of glitches. So what my fix is doing - it simply recreates this interface upon entering the probe hopefully eliminating this condition once for all. To this date I fixed quite a few savegames for you all and if you need, just send them to me, I do it quite easily. Once again thank you everyone for your great support and I hope this workaround will fix this problem once and for all. -- Jan
