Hi guys,
i have some problems running cyberia 2 into dosbox.
Basically the game run PERFECT, the only problem is that the mouse stand still in the bottom-left of the screen and any movements are useless, it just stare there. (even thought the mouse work correctly using CTRL-1 for the hotkey configuration)

Any idea? 😀

well, it's not about that. 😁 (i know how to use DosBox 🤣.)
The mouse is there and it's sending signal to dosbox cause i've tried to put the mouse upside down (so no signal is sent), and the mouse appear in the center of the screen.
As soon as i move the mouse it go in the lower-left part of the screen forever. 🙁
Maybe there is some conflict between Cyberia and dosbox mouse usage?

I use dosbox on a Linux Debian box and every other game seems to work fine...

Try reducing the mouse sensitivity to minimum - it's in the dosbox.conf file. Try a setting of "1" instead of 100. Also, make sure there are no joysticks connected - Cyberia uses both.

I don't have any joystick connected...

Anyway putting the mouse sensibility to 1 changed the things.
Now the mouse is at the bottom-center of the screen and every time i try to move it, it go slower to the bottom-left (every movements go to the bottom-left regardless of where i actually move)

Just to make sure, could you disable the joystick support in the conf file? Maybe DOSBOX is getting a false reading from any of your USB devices. This happened to me with my drawing tablet which got detected as a joystick.

Otherwise, I'll have to test the game myself if I can find it anywhere.

It works fine here under dosbox 0.65 out of the box

I've attached my conf file for comparison

(I'm not running under Linux though, plain WinXP)
