I have absolutely no doubts that this issue is insanely more recurrent after the most recent 1.30.7.0 AAU 1 - Dec 9th, 2022 - beta release. It happens from the start. During the flight. In the menus. It’s completely random.
Today it happened 4 times. I was only able to complete one flight without issues. Xbox Series X here and a Logitech G305 mouse. Only using the Xbox Wireless Controller 20th Anniversary Special Edition. Nothing more.
The most frustrating/infuriating thing is that now a reboot and a subsequent reload, using the Quick Resume feature, isn’t a workaround anymore. I’m forced to quit Flight Simulator and also restart Xbox. And, even worse, sometimes the mouse is still frozen after this.
Anyway, today, December 28th, it’s literally impossible to use the mouse on Xbox Series X running the latest Beta 1.30.7.0 release. It works in the splash screen, but after the main menu loads, it’s completely frozen again.
Also, when it works, almost always the cursor will stop moving in the middle of a flight or even when still taxing. It’s way more recurrent than the last time I posted.
I’ve had these mouse issues on and off for almost the entire time I’ve been using the Xbox for simming, which is when it first came out for Xbox. I have found a process that works for me every time, to get the mouse back working again. (a pain but it works)
I have a Xbox X, wireless mouse, wireless mini keyboard into controller and Turtle beach V1.
I have noticed for me I only lose the mouse after an Xbox update or a CTD (if I open the sim without doing the following steps the mouse never works) Xbox updates are quite frequent being on the Xbox beta testing ring, CTD’s are better lately.
After every Xbox update or CTD I unplug all peripherals (pull out wireless dongles from USB on Xbox) then go into Xbox settings and devices and pick blu-ray (weird I know) then “clear persistent storage” after this I reboot the Xbox without anything plugged into Xbox USB’s yet.
Once Xbox is powered back up keep all peripherals unplugged and open up the sim, when the main screen pops up plug in just the wireless mouse dongle into USB then turn on the mouse, the mouse always works for me after these steps, then I plug the rest of my peripherals in. I’m sure there are other ways to get it working, this process is what works for me currently.
I have always used a wired mouse but it still persists,bought a new one just in case last year, made no difference for me as it still sporadically occurs.The go to another app like youtube etc etc workaround then straight back to msfs seems to work well for me nowadays .
Tried it one hour ago. Unfortunately, Flight Simulator didn’t survive and exited while was loading Quick Resume. Maybe because I didn’t go to the Microsoft Store home screen between switching to YouTube.
And yes. Microsoft Store home screen. The new Xbox Insider dashboard is, actually, a FORCED annoying mix of Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass. It’s not our personal home desktop anymore.
If you’re referring to closing out the sim when you are done instead of having it quick resume. On the Xbox Home Screen or by pressing the Xbox button on the remote…go to the Flight Sim game itself, hit the start button on your remote and go down to “X Quit”. I do this every time when I’m done because I’ve also had bad experience with quick resume.
As of the last beta update we now have a new mouse issue, the pointer turned into a giant pointer that always remain on screen with no way to get rid of it unless you turn off your mouse. Hope this gets looked at and fixed.
This is still not fixed or solved, it happened to me a lot in the last few weeks !!! Only solution is to close the sim and restard and sometimes it still happens after 2 reboot !!
My god why does it takes so long to fix this ??? I tought this was fix last year already but it is back and happens in world map and during flight which is even more annoying !!! come on do something Asobo, losing my patience here… stop ignoring this Asobo…
Running on Xbox x no beta. No mouse or cursor tried a Logitech mouse that has worked previously and my Xbox controller. Cannot select specefic runways for landing or takeoff. Mouse pointer is gone zoom still works on world map and d pad can navigate menus to some degree but the mouse is gone again. Things like this make this game tough to enjoy…
Honestly? I believe it is. I know the team has struggled to reproduce it. I’ve struggled to figure out what causes it, too. I’ve done what I can to give them any feedback about the behavior to help find a solution, but it is definitely elusive.
Still NO fix… sometimes the mouse works and sometimes the cursor is frozen… and I have to start msfs AND also the Xbox up again to get it to work and sometimes I have to do that even twice… it very bad and dissapointing we still have this very annoying problem… also sometimes the mouse works fine but after an hour or so the cursor still freezes (for no apparent reason) and I have to shut it down and start up again… I’m so fed-up with it
