If any one else can confirm this and get this fixed for when the driver is officially announced that would be great. They've fixed my stuttering problems with the 670 under Vsync so hopefully when released the mouse wont flicker and wont vanish when not being moved.

Thanx.

Same with me. I just went back to non beta version. Report it like me and I'm sure they will take a look and correct it. Its's not anyone else's job to report it but you.

Edit - Oh and if you didn't figure it out. It's not just the driver and EVE is the driver and every game. At least it is for me.

Confirming this. Running GTX680 with 304.48 beta drivers. Haven't noticed the cursor flickering in other games, though.

We have contacted nvidia to find out the problem. Thank you to those of you who reported the bug!

Got same problems with my GoodOld GTX280AMP & beta 304.48 driver Ugh

I tested some driver settings, like:

  • force refresh rate 1/2 (i have 24" TFT with 60hz) & to 58Hz
  • force pre rendered frame to 1-5
  • vertical Sync tear control to standard & adaptive


and some EvE settings, like:

  • full screen, window mode and fixed window
  • all intervalls


and all this in combination but the mouse cursor shuttering/flickering does not vanish! Cry

Now, i reinstalled driver 301.42...

Thanks CCP Paradox , for reporting to nVidia. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Just adding that it's not just the 600 series, I've got a 570 and same problem.

Same problem here. While the regular Nvidia 301.42 / 301.34 drivers keep crashing when many objects are on screen ( which can not be fixed by lowering the graphics settings and is very annoying)

The beta drivers 304.48 fix this issue, but cause your cursor to flicker when moved, and disappear while not being moved.

This issue has been fixed by Nvidia in the new beta driver, which got released today .
There you go: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-304.79-beta-driver-uk.html

It doesn't only fix the flickering cursor, but also seems to increase fp/s in Eve Online greatly as well. I highly recommend downloading it.

Also, thanks to CCP for reporting this issue to Nvidia that fast.

Thanks, I was about to update you guys with that, I've confirmed it works internally if you wanted some official CCP word. But the usual install beta drivers at your own discretion warning still applies :)

Woo issue fixed!

I had to stick with the last beta drivers instead of rolling back because the 600 series had a horrible vsync stutter issue which it fixed. So glad I can see my mouse again in game lol.... Sad thing is I got fed up of AMDs driver issues last year, especially with crossfire and bought two 670s and have had nothing but driver issues lol.

This is the only good link to the second beta release. Every supporting website for Nvidia and GeForce drivers I have visited including the auto detection on the Nvidia website point you to the first beta for download.
