Mouse not grabbed Android 4.2.2

Feb 21, 2014 Pusaken link
Hello community,

I tried VO on my LG G2 today, with USB OTG cable and USB mouse.
Unfortunately I cant use the mouse for steering or mouselook. I only see the mousepointer and can use it for UI and menus.

Same goes for bluetooth keyboard with touchpad-mouse.

Is there a setting i missed?

Thanks,
Pusaken

Yeah that's a known issue.
Apparently its a limitation in the Android OS that prevents the game from grabbing the mouse. Nobody's figured out a way around it yet.

Hello,

thanks for your answer. I read about it in this forum but thought it to be an "old" issue, since it was only mentioned with Android 2 and early 3's, and that it has been fixed by latest OS versions.

How very sad :-( that this is still a problem.

Bye,
Pusaken

The good news about it since Android 4.x is that the OS now supports game controllers and joysticks. I sometimes play VO with my Asus TF300T with the keyboard dock and a USB joystick. The experience is actually pretty close to playing on a PC laptop.
