Hello, I am using Aster for about 3 months and it works like a charm but it have ONE big problem - in games Farming Simulator and Sims 3 (for now) when Aster is active, mouse pointer disappear (it work but it is like a ghost). I can click, work, game is working ok, but without visible pointer.

Can I solve this with some patch? Thank you.

btw. regardless both games are on or just one (each on separate workstation).

Hi, did you try to change pointer in Video tab? From Software driven pointer to Hardware driven pointer. Don't forget to apply changes afterwards

In case you haven't already found the answer, you need to run your games in windowed mode. Do windowed fullscreen if you can. I had the ghost mouse issue too. You just need to play around with it and navigate to the options and make the change. Or, I guess you could disable aster, then make the change. But that should solve your problem. If only they would update aster for windows 10. =(

I understand your issue with the mouse pointer disappearing in games while using Aster. Here are a few suggestions:
Update Aster: Make sure you're using the latest version, as updates often fix bugs.
Graphics Settings: Try adjusting the graphics settings in the games to see if that helps.
Check for Patches: Look for any patches on Aster's website or user forums that might address this issue.
