Question Hidden cursor

When I have my xbox 360 controller plugged-in, the mouse cursor doesn't appear in game or menus.
Then I can't play coop locally.

Any workaround please?

Local coop seemed to work. First make sure you can use both keyboard/mouse and your controller. Use either to start the game until it gets to the lobby then use the other to hit join on the other slots.

Eg. Use the Xbox controller to get into the lobby and then switch to your mouse.

Here's a video I uploaded that's using both a xbox 360 controller and keyboard/mouse in adventure.

Your cursor is visible but, when I start game with controller plugged, mine's not.

Could be something as simple as the gamepad being poorly calibrated. Try moving the thumbsticks around in full circles, that should center it. The mouse pointer disappears when you move anything on the gamepad but should reappear when you move the mouse.

If that fails try opening the game controller settings in Windows, select properties on the 360 pad and select Reset to Default (you don't need to calibrate 360 controllers, they do that when you move the sticks automatically).

... could of course just be something wrong with the game as well, would not be the first thing.

Yes, this and reinstall drivers made it works correctly.
Thanks to all.
