Is there anything that can be done about mouse fps drops caused by mouse movement in games like Evil Genius?

Enabling Cursor Hook in dgV does not help?

It causes a crash 🙁

It looks like if dgvoodoo isn't doing the scalin, stretching the problem does not happen

The Evil Genius is like a name implies, the biggest enemy of dgVoodoo 😁. The game actually works better without dgVoodoo 🙁 The problem is, I wanted to render the game at higher resolution and upgrade swapchain and dgVoodoo always was the best tool. Yet this game refuses to cooperate

I tried the GOG version of this game but I didn't have problems with the fps and the cursor (through dgVoodoo) in the first place.
I thought it is the usual problem with flashing double cursor coming from the hw cursor emulation but I'm not sure if this game uses a hw cursor. Is there any option to switch between hw/sw?

(enabling cursor hooking also didn't casue crash)
