Any way to disable cursor-capture?
« on: December 17, 2013, 09:12:57 PM »
I'm wondering if its possible to stop RA2 from capturing the cursor allowing me to move it off the window to a steam chat without closing the whole game first.

Sometimes you can use the Windows key to "tab-out" and use other programs. I'd suggest you try it before building a bot because sometimes it won't let you go back to RA2 on some PCs.

Well, I don't really use AltTab for this, and the one of my friends with a beast of a PC who does says it crashes when they do.
jsut wondering.

It really depends on your PC and OS as to whether you can, but yes, it can crash it occasionally even if you can do it most of the time.
