If you're having this issue in Win 10 go to Mouse Settings > Adjust Mouse And Cursor Size
and disable "show visual feedback around the touch points when i touch the screen"
This apparently solved the issue, at least so far windows cross hair has not appeared anymore.
Firstly do you play windowed?
Ofc not.
It again appears when i go back to windows and return with alt tab.
I have to alt tab again so it disappears, not sure this is a solution.
Not a solution, if anyone knows..
I've never seen that! Not ever.
This happened to me when my old mouse got disconnected due to a damaged cable, to fix it i was pressing alt+enter twice which switches to windowed and back to fullscreen.
Tested right now, unplugging the mouse makes it appear.
See if when you bend the usb cable, you get the USB connect/disconnect sound.
I'm using alt tab to go to windowed and back but it's annoying because it pops back very soon
last night i downloaded another gog version and reinstalled the game, same.
i also turned off all programs like lightshot, ccleaner, utorrent.. that
might be stealing the focus
i tried two free softwares to force unreal always on top
still same
others had same issue

Have opposite issue in Apex Legends. Cursor DISappears in-game and an Alt-Tab out-in restores it. No such issue in UT, ever, though.
Found a workaround, playing windowed with window max stretched,
not perfect due to white title bar, but 1000 times better than having
two cursors.

Fuck, not even this works, after 10min windows cursor appeared.
But windows cursor is not that big deal, it appears much less often and quick alt tab removes it,
much quicker than when you go from full screen to windowed and back.
Eh, now windows cross again appears.
ALT+ENTER = switch fullscreen<> windows mode
CTRL+G = disable-enable mouse integration (window mode)
Windows 10 Tablet mode enabled?
It's a virtual mouse pointer problem.

I know alt enter, i tried ctrl g days ago, did nothing,
tablet mode off.
I am now trying to delete cross and white cursor in C:\Windows\Cursors
but it says access denied, if i manage to force delete/replace
they should not appear anymore
I force deleted whole C:\WIndows\Cursors folder and bastard still appears.
Other windows cursors are still functioning normally, so i guess windows
has them backed up in other location.
I also checked if maybe those are not Unreal's cursors, but there is no
.cur files in UT installation.
Try deleting rundll32.exe, i did that in windows 98 when i kept getting "error in rundll32", after i deleted it, i got no more errors
True story.
Or install Linux. :D
Much as I like Linux, good luck getting acceptible sound or printers working!

As an old business partner of mine would say when someone proposes a nonsensical solution: "That's insane!"
:)
I have this behaviour sometimes in a couple of games when I switch between the game and the desktop too fast / too often, but usually this is fixed when properly maximising the game window again. Are you sure this is only happening in UT?

Actually it makes sense, it's not my idea, too bad didn't work.

Yes, only UT.
Deleting rundll32.exe did not help.

Only time i used Linux was Backtrack for cracking wep, not into it, altho i like
the anitcorporate ideology.
Linux is great. I'm no expert, but:
1. This forum and wider website including the server monitoring and admin hax is running on Linux
2. The Freon Stats Server and redirect server for the servers is running on Linux
3. At home I have an adblocking/general home automation setup running on a Pi running on Linux
4. At work I spend most of the day working on seriously massive enterprise level computers running Linux
5. My andoid phone? That's using Linux kernel.
6. My router? Linux.
Linux is pretty much everywhere. It's not a niche thing any longer.
As a web developer all my host servers ever used Linux so..
I know Android is based on Linux..
I know it has equal possibilities like win or mac os including intelligent home integration
Adblock in Chrome works perfectly fine so
Well, it's free so no wonder enterprises use it, as do hosting services
So i know well Linux is not marginal hobbyist thing, it's just that i been used to Win
ever since Win95
This guy had same problem and found the cause was Chrome stealing focus,
i tried, same, i went to task manager and turned off all processes except the
core windows functions and few others that cannot be turned off, same.

I would appreciate any additional good idea
The problem was mouse losing contact, stupid cheap mouses every mouse and keyboard i ever had, works fine few months and then connection starts breaking at the point where cable enters the mouse.
21st century and they have not been able to solve this. Maybe it does not happen in some 100€ mouses, i don't know, i never payed that much for a mouse.
I tried to prevent this on keyboards and mouses with electrical tape on the bending part, it helps, but not always.
Yesteraday i opened the mouse and no, i was not feeling like cutting the cable and re-connecting the 5 thin wires, i just pushed the cable little bit inside so new healthy part is at the bending point and for now it's good.
I am starting to consider buying an expensive mouse if that would make a difference.
I have a supply of usb mouse cables and replace them when they die.
The MX518 "Hero" is my mouse of choice
Altho thin copper wire is flexible after few dozen thousand times being bent it breaks.
They should use some other, more flexible type of wire for the bending part, where
cable enters the mouse.
What? And stop people buying new ones?

Yea you did, but i somehow missed the damaged cable part and only read the alt+enter part.
I suspected of this being the cause myself, but i focused on other potential causes, i never had such issue happen before.
Main reason i thought it was hardware issue is cause i got a second hand mini PC which quite often gives a blue screen of death
mostly likely due to bad SSD.
I also dropped it few times, so i suspected this mouse freezing must be due to hardware, altho i had same broken cable issue million times before.
