First off I just wanted to say thanks for programming dgVoodoo2. I've used it for years and I absolutely love it when playing old games. It also let's me use ReShade on all old games, which won't work on some by itself. I can use an older version, however I threw something at your PayPal already as encouragement to keep maintaining it, and let you know how much I really appreciate it. Also definitely encourage others to pay it forward as well.

Game: Deus Ex - Invisible War
Issue: There is a double cursor / not disappearing cursor in the 3D rendered part of the game. It's fine upon loading the game, but the first time you go to load a UI element the cursor appears, but doesn't disappear once you exit the screen.
dgVoodoo2 stats: Working <= 2.7; 2.71 <= Broken => 2.79_3

Log Analysis:
After loading a save, it does a ShowCursor set to 0. The cursor is not present on screen (other than the center screen graphic). At 14 seconds in was when I was finally able to get over and click something. You can see a ShowCursor 1, followed immediately by a SetCursorPosition 1280 x 700. It shows ShowCursor 1 a few more times, but eventually shows a ShowCursor 0 @ 16.273729, which was caused by me exiting the ui menu. The cursor is not supposed to be present after that. The final ShowCursor 0 at 17.647371 is from me alt-tabbing out of the window.

I tried to capture as little logs as relevant to keep the log size down, however from going into the window multiple times, you enter and it does a ShowCursor 1 and the cursor shows up. When you exit it does a ShowCursor 0 and the cursor doesn't ever disappear after that. There is another game cursor, but I'm pretty sure it is just a reticle drawn on the screen, not an actual cursor as far as DX is concerned. ShowCursor 0 seems to be non-functional.

I've never done any DirectX programming, so I hope I'm not throwing a red herring here. Just trying to do as much on my end as I could to help with the issue.

Sincerely,
--Jem

Edit: Further information discovered. With 2.70 changing ScalingMode from unspecified to centered_af will cause an identical issue. However with 2.79_3 it does it on ScalingMode unspecified as well.
Edit2: Works best with 2.64 or earlier, still had some issues with 2.70. Attached is working 2.64 dgVoodoo.conf & Default.ini from Invisible War (set for widescreen & 2560x1440). No mod's, ReShade is working well.
