  Cursor too small , just a little dot, need larger cursor options like a circle, or cross. to change color and size to make easier to see and so you know you are on your target.

  Hud/reticle is white. Which is all groovy in forest or even future desert..but with white snow background of the artic made killing wolves and bears an issue. Allow player to change or automatically change color it in artic.

  The tiny target dot when using knives is too small to clearly see exactly how you need to move. Especially with multiple wolves in the snow!
  Please allow people the option to change the target to a larger icon and change the colour to something more visible.

  Game mouse cursor is too small and nearly invisible. Use character selection mouse cursor throughout the game.

  The current small dot used to show where you are targeting is very easily lost in the images on the screen. A small cross hair would be much easier to see

  Please allow full customization of crosshair pattern and colors. Not only are there instances of white on white, but anyone with color or contrast issues will run into problems as well. Also, the size of the targeting pip can be an issue for the visually impaired. Please make this all customizable so that all impairments can be worked around.

  Currently the aim site is white, so in the arctic it is quite difficult to see. Would be nice if this contrasted with the environment.

  I just finished the forth mission and had a blast! The only problem I had while playing was that the text and the cross hair of the rifle blended into the all white of the snow biome making the area harder than it had to be. The main problem was that I would have to lift my cross hair to the horizon to find it then follow it back down to aim adding considerable time to each shot. Thank you!

• 12 Oct, '21

  This is the biggest issue I have with the game. I can hardly see the tiny little dot on the screen and make the game extremely difficult for picking up, farming, aiming, etc, as it gets lost against back ground. Desparately need cursor options added to game.
  
  At least put a bigger crosshair in the game as default for now until you can develop cursor options please!!!!!!

  As a mono-sighted person it is very hard to keep track of the tiny cursor and the tiny aim dot in the Arctic was headache and eye strain inducing.

  The reticle becomes invisible in certain situations like in the snow or when aiming fire arrows. Suggest that the reticle color changes or inverts against bright/white backgrounds.

  Maybe a few other people have had this issue, but my vision isn't the best. It's hard to see my cursor, particularly when skinning my kills.

• 20 Nov, '21
  Kip Merged

  I agree with this. Not even because of required spectacles, but because on a big 65in 4k display; the cursor gets lost when skinning or opening a chest-like inventory.
  
  At least having the option to change it's colour would be appreciated.

  PLEASE add this. On a 4K screen, I can’t even find the cursor most of the time. I’d be happier if I didn’t need a mouse cursor in the first place but such is life.

  Janekburn Merged

  As a person with disabilities i suffer with limited vision and in the game menu's im finding it difficult to see the mouse pointer this could be a life and death thing where im skinning a kill and there are other threats about so i'm in a rush to go through the menus but yeah i can't see the damn mouse pointer cos its to small (i'm shaking my mouse about just to see if i can see the freaking thing lol) and i'm sure i'm not the only one. Please can we have a option to have different sized pointers maybe a slider or just say small, medium and Large option.

  Yeah i often find myself scrambling to find it wile looting etc prob being under attack aswel lol

  When the loot box opens, upon skinning an animal, the mouse cursor jumps to a random location on screen. Please have the cursor jump to the loot all button

  Would recommend the ability to either customize reticule color, automatic reticule color change in arctic or when firearm or other weapons are equipped. I constantly lose the reticule, in the arctic.

  Jenni Riley Merged

  The tiny triangle mouse cursor can be REALLY hard to spot on high resolutions, and I spent a lot of time just waving my mouse around trying to find the cursor so I can click "take all" when skinning a creature.

• 10 Dec, '21
  Kami Merged

  I feel like they need to make it always appear in the center of the screen every time so that it is known where it will always appears.

• 10 Dec, '21
  Kami Merged

  I agree the mouse in the game is very hard to use since it is so small, blends in the screen with everything else in game, and will always appear in random spots in the screen.

• 18 Dec, '21

  Far too small.

  Sometimes I can barely see the cursor, especially in the artic when killing things, difficult to see the mouse

  Quickai Merged

  100% agree. Running 3840x1600 on a 38" ultra wide and it's pretty much impossible to spot, unless you swirl it around like crazy. Give us options pls :)

  Michael Merrell Merged

  I'm playing at 2160p, and the mouse cursor is hard for me to see against most backgrounds, and impossible to see in the arctic.
  
  Someone else already suggested making the cursor configurable, but even scaling the arrow up with resolution (assuming it appears larger at lower resolutions...) would help a lot (and require less work).

• 26 Dec, '21
  Joachim Bauchmüller Merged

  On 50'' TV, i have in 4k a 1 millimeter Mousepointer.
  Sometimes, i'm lost in searching it and moving around till somwhere something is hit and Text pops up.

• 26 Dec, '21
  AE Merged

  I agree, and I'd like to add that there should be an option to change the font also to make it easier to see; I find myself squinting to determine the differences between 6s and 8s a lot on my 55" 4k TV.

• 26 Dec, '21
  Paul Price Merged

  I have an ultrawide Odyssey G9 Neo at 5120x1440 - I can barely see some of the text, especially the number of points you have for you level-up. The mouse pointer disappears half of the time and is barely visible.
  We need more options in the settings.

• 27 Dec, '21
  Jakaal Merged

  Just fix the loot all keybind. Not saying this is a bad fix, but I don't want to have to click a mouse button regardless of the size of the cursor.

• 27 Dec, '21
  Badger Merged

  It's too small even on 2K.

• 29 Dec, '21
  Naj Merged

  If there is no plan to have a loot all button after skinning, and without difficult programming to make cursor appear in same spot as it was during last inventory screen, Why not just give an editable curser that we can personalize? Size/shape/colar. That would be easy to implement, keep the devs "fearloot" in check, and be helpful for players.

• 29 Dec, '21
  HKN Merged

  Everyone I play with has the same complaint. Mouse cursor is too small and easy to lose in the background. In combination with the lack of take-all hot-key when skinning, this has caused me more grief than anything else.

• 30 Dec, '21
  Paul Bryant Merged

  IMO we need the ability to change the crosshair color. The default white color gets lost in the background (especially snow) and makes it's use almost useless in certain scenarios.

• 02 Jan, '22
  Rosen Dimitrov Merged

  Can you please add more options in options gameplay tab fot the crosshair. It could be change of shape and size of the DOT that is now in CROSS or something more visible and change of color maby.

  Shadow Walker Merged

  With all the detail and weather, I find it hard to see the cursor when harvesting animals.
  If Options had a setting to make the cursor larger or a different color, this would help greatly.
  Thanks

• 02 Jan, '22
  DBM Merged

  Dev's, please change cursor, text, and aim so that it is visible against snow! If dynamic contrasting text/cursor/aim is too much to ask for, then please simply add a thin black outline so that it is somewhat visible. In fact most game art is slightly outlined anyway for aesthetic reasons.

• 12 Jan, '22
  RC Merged

  Is it possible to make a mouse cursor that is modifiable in color and size or shape? In snow or rain it is very hard for me to find the cursor on the screen and I have perished multiple times due to the delay in finding the cursor and placing it on what I need to select. KUDOS on a great game, thank you for your expertise!!!

• 13 Jan, '22
  Jason Merged

  There is not an "auto-standard" position when menus change (particularly when skinning), so it is nearly impossible to see the cursor dot against any background. So, yeah a slightly bigger pointer, an unmistakable color or a default position is definitely needed.

• 14 Jan, '22
  SB Merged

  I have to say at 4k the cursor really is tiny.

  Cursor needs to scale with resolution. It is barely more than a dot on 4K resolution.

• 15 Jan, '22
  WH0L3H34RT Merged

  At least scale the cursor with resolution. Playing on 4K the cursor is barely more than a dot and very hard to see/locate when it is always in a random location when opening and interaction screens.

• 15 Jan, '22
  WH0L3H34RT Merged

  On 4K resolution the cursor is little more than a dot and can be very hard to see on certain backgrounds.
  Also, it seems to start in random screen locations based on previous mouse movements prior to opening an interaction/inventory window. Together that is really annoying and a panic problem when in a skinning inventory screen and getting attacked by wolves.
  Scale cursor with resolution and start it either over the "take all" button or in the center of the screen.

• 16 Jan, '22
  Modnar Nosrep Merged

  Agreed! doing the mouse waving thing every time I want to use it is annoying. I have run into a few bugs, but nothing so consistent.

  Aleax Merged

  I find the cursor extremely hard to see on some screens when playing in 4k. That combined with the fact that while playing with multiple monitors, some screens allow my mouse to leave the game monitor entirely which REALLY makes it hard to find. Full screen should have two modes, full screen and full screen windowed so we can chose to keep the mouse on one screen if need be.

  My cursor comments: I cannot easily see the white crosshair in the snow. Makes aiming at the large pack of wolves difficult. In addition, when aiming in the forest (especially while crouched) the crosshair disappears if I'm near anything that can picked up and is replaced with the hand icon.

  This crosshair is very hard to see because it blends in with the UI and terrain in most locations.

  Hi George. Unfortunately we have limited time to put changes in, and while we have all of these issues and suggestions logged, we do not have time to work on things like this over things like optimisation or DLC work. Please do not think we don't have all of these issues logged though! We will get to it at some point if we do a UI overhaul. I would LOVE some customisation of the mouse cursor as I have all the same issues you have in game.

  YES! We need an option to change the color of the reticle AND the compass color, such as crimson red or neon green, especially in the arctic biomes.
