Hello there, Argadium!

The present is a design choice and not a bug. This happens if you have a controller connected. The game will default the controller as the main control of the game. To get rid of this, unplug your controller from your PC.
If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask about it on the main forum for the game.

I have no controller connected thats the problem. How do i change main control?
 
Hey there, Argadium!

Thank you for your reply. Could you then plug your controller and see if you're able to move the cursor using it; and then unplug and check if you can move it with your mouse?
In settings, could you share your Controls in a screenshot, please?

Thank you!
 
Hey there, Argadium!

Thank you for your reply. I'm going to move your thread to Technical Support, so they can better assist you with this issue!
Thank you for your understanding, and good luck!
 
Please do a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.


If those don't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log
 
In my Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs exceptions.log does not exist.
As a side node in beta 1.2.7 it all works.

Sorry, I don't see anything in there to cause this to you.

Make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that. Does the game work better there?
