Mouse cursor stays on screen

[mbp]

Running on a macbook pro.

When I launch the game the mouse cursor stays in the middle of the screen.

The ingame mouse icon moves no problem, but the macosx icon wont go away.

Different resolutions don't help the problem. Native 1920x1200 or lowest settings.

I altered the settings.cfg to allow windowed mode and the cursor will only go away after tabbing out of the program and back in... But playing in windowed mode is awful, no immersion and worse than playing with a cursor stuck in the middle of the screen.

Any ideas?

What version of Mac OS X are you running? Which MBP is it? (specifically what video card).

And do you have any other software installed that does anything with the mouse ?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Running 10.6.6, its the aluminium unibody macbook pro 5,2 which has Nvidia 9400M and 9600M GT graphics cards.

Am able to run other games fullscreen without a problem (Portal, Starcraft 2).

No other software running.

EDIT: Just realised a large omission on my part. The game is run through steam, and probably is a problem with their overlay/in game menu thing... Will let you know if I find anything on their side of things.

Ahh.. was going to ask you if this was a steam or non-steam version.. Though thus far I haven't run into issues with the overlay in steam.

Actually you can download the demo version of amnesia and try it, and that would test the "out of steam" scenario so you could definitively know if it's a steam issue.

You can also right click (ctrl-click) on amnesia in your steam library and choose properties and then uncheck "Enable Steam Community In-Game" (which should disable the overlay) and see if the problem persists.

Unfortunately I can't download the demo. I'm overseas for the year and don't have the capacity for a 100MB+ download

No luck with steam either. No information in their forums and removing ingame overlay doesn't help. Other steam games are fine.

Any other thoughts before I suffer the evil cursor throughout?
