YoloMouse News

Update time!

So this was meant to be a major update but several issues came up that needed hotfixing earlier. This also includes a backlog of other fixes. If I'm missing something that's bugging you please let me know. I'll try to get it into the originally planned update :)

UPDATES

• fix: overlay being enabled when it shouldnt. this fixes a LoL FPS drop and gsync issues. the FPS drop in LoL (league of legends) remains to be resolved so please use windowed or fullscreen (not borderless) or avoid using overlay cursors (CTRL ALT 2) for now.
  
• fix: cursor assignment problems with DAOC
  
• fix: some settings like "start in steam" and "start as admin" sometimes being ignored
  
• fix: a few problems due to a communication issue between YM and the game
  
• fix: hotkeys not working for some win7 users
  
• hotfix (1.0.7.1): disable unwanted debug logging
  
• hotfix (1.0.7.2): fix for paradox games and any other games that misuse the windows cursor API
  
• hotfix (1.0.7.3): fix last update to resolve a problem in GW2
  

NEXT UPDATE

• single hotkey for UI menu for cursor selection. old hotkeys will remain for a while.
  
• reworked cursor file management. allows unlimited cursors and more customize friendly
  
• universal bindings: replace regular windows cursors. and improve support for regular apps
  
• optimize overlays
  
• option to disable hotkeys
  
• improve support for anticheat protected games: support multiple bindings, support hiding cursors when game hides

Hi :)

Small maintenance update here to further improve anticheat mode and to prevent it from engaging incorrectly with games that arent anticheat protected. This fixes a few annoying bugs like seeing spinning blue cursor when not intended.

UPDATES

• fix: anticheat mode engaging randomly for non anticheat games
  
• fix: randomly seeing spinning blue arrow by using a special hash instead of default cursors in anticheat mode
  
• improve: hiding original game cursor in anticheat protected games.
  
• update: move+migrate game/app settings to a subfolder (apps/)
  

TODO NEXT

• improve support for anticheat protected games: support multiple bindings, support hiding cursors when game hides
  
• support replacing general windows cursors with goal of making YM universal (not game specific)
  
• make cursor overlay only over window where cursor is not whole desktop
  
• option to disable hotkeys
  
• replace current hotkey system with single hotkey that shows popup menu with all the cursor options
  
• gsync support

Hi

This is a quick update to address an annoying error message. Also a minor improvement for anticheat protected games that will follow into next update.

UPDATES

• update: hide original game cursor in anticheat protected games.
  
• fix: now show overlay error message only upon user initiated hotkey. also moved this message to screen bottom. cliffs: its alot rarer and less annoying now :)

TODO NEXT

• improve support for anticheat protected games: support multiple bindings, support hiding cursors when game hides
  
• support replacing general windows cursors with goal of making YM universal (not game specific)
  
• make cursor overlay only over window where cursor is not whole desktop

Hi

One more maintenance update to fix+update a few things. Planning to make YM more universal in windows next patch + a few other things. This should be ready sooner than before as IRL interruptions wind down :)

UPDATES

• fix: not being able to disable "start with windows" option
  
• update: the overlay used by overlay cursors (CTRL ALT 2) is now ondemand and optional. meaning its only started upon first use of an overlay cursor, and if it fails YM will continue to work without overlay cursors.
  
• (steam) new: option to toggle running YM from steam. if disabling this, remember to shutdown YM first before updating YM in steam.

Hello :)

This is mostly a maintenance update to wrap a few loose ends. Following patches will be more feature focused.

A small launcher is added to improve launching YM on windows startup as well as to improve interoperability in steam.

Otherwise mostly minor updates and fixes including a few important ones for specific multimonitor/multiGPU setups.

UPDATES

• new: start yolomouse through a new launcher. this fixes several compatibility issues (steam version) and improves running ym at windows start (both versions).
  
• new: show/hide button for settings/about/activation code (regular version)
  
• fix: overlay errors seen in some multimonitor setups
  
• fix: crashing during display adapter updates or changes
  
• fix: center display messages on current monitor, instead of between all monitors.
  
• fix: cycling basic cursors no longer resets color back to blue
  
• update: improve checking if a game needs admin mode or overlay only mode (for anticheat protected games)

NOTE:
If you wish to run YM outside steam:

1. shutdown YoloMouse
   
2. run either YoloLauncher.exe -o directly (found in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\YoloMouse)
   
3. ...OR in steam: YoloMouse -> gear icon -> properties -> set launch options -> add -o then hit launch button.
   
4. ensure "Start with Windows" option is on (task bar/pink icon/options)

Now YM will start on its own instead of through steam. Starting through Steam at any time without -o option will undo this. Note that eventually Steam version of YM will require Steam for certain features such as Steam Workshop.
