dota corrupts my mouse cursor in General Discussion
one syllable anglo-saxon

    every 5th game or so my cursor turns into either a bunch of dashes(on pic, its actully black, the flash on my camera fucked it up) or a somewhat altered version of my normal cursor where a few pixels are displaced. it started to happen more than a year ago but it always was an exceptiional thing, 1 in 100 games occurence, and now it happens consistently and its VERY hard to click anything, and outside of dota it just vanishes completely

    nothing except restarting my pc seems to work. has anybody faced the same problem and what did u manage to do about it?
    (this only happens in dota, no other game/program ever did that to my cursor)

          Go to mouse settings and adjust your cursor/mouse speed, sometimes if it is to fast it can bug out in long sessions.

                what is the dpi that you use? and the mouse model

                There are cheap mouses that use shit lasers and this can happen as well because of heat.

                    Its very likely Memory leak. Dota sucks ass in ways of Memory. That why you reload every game.
                    Even tho dota do this, Restart Dota between games. It will very likely help :)

                    also instances in windows tend to bugg when you tab back and forth.
                    Sometimes you have to reboot to fix theese driver issues.
                    You could also reroll some or all drivers.
