Hello,
As of today (after about 50 days of playing) I'm getting the message "Your mouse is not currently captured by the game. Please click anywhere on the screen to lock your mouse cursor". Clicking on the screen does nothing. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue since today?
To reproduce:
1. Open a game.
2. Minimize the game.
3. Maximize the game (unable to lock cursor).
Once a game is selected and the message "Press and hold "ESC" to exit full screen" appears, press and hold the ESC key. When prompted, click "Back to game".
I have the same issue and once it appears not even re-opening the game or any other game fixes it. Once it pops up it will pop up in any game. Only thing that helps is fully closing the tab and re-opening it. Not even reloading helps.
also ran into this issue today trying to play PUBG. After having connectivity issues trying to check ou SUPERHOT and Little Nightmares. Are your servers getting overloaded or something due to the new games being released?
super bummed, was looking forward to checking out the new games at lunch today.
I'm experiencing the same issue
no troubleshooting steps work at the moment but a wild issue that is appearing sometimes.
Hey,
This issue appears to be related to the Chrome browser version 83.0.4103.61. I'm not sure if it has been addressed on 83.0.4103.97, maybe it has.
Downgrading to 81.0.4044.138 worked for me. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share links to third party downloads (Google doesn't provide an option to downgrade). Using Google search should do the trick for you. Just make sure to rename the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update" folder after downgrading, otherwise the latest update will be forced on you soon after.
Are you starting games with the controller? When I do that, this happens. If I tap on the touchscreen or use the mouse to click on the play button, it doesn't have this problem.
I am having the same problem!
The same thing happens to me too! This is really annoying! Stadia, FIX IT already!
Happens for me too.
Happened for my girlfriend in OMD3, too. She also opened new tabs and stuff while playing, very strange.
All of this after the latest big chrome Update. Did anyone try beta versions?
I am having same trouble,only started in the evening.I swapped over to edge(chromium) and it works fine
I upgraded from Chrome 81.0.4044.138 today and it appears this specific issue was fixed, however, now i'm facing a new one: the cursor isn't locking properly:

As you can imagine this will prove quite annoying and wasn't an issue on 81.0.4044.138. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix?
If not, then back to 81.0.4044.138 I'll go, I suppose...
As of today, still unresolved! This is outrageous! Certain games are unplayable! Why does this not happen in Edge?
I do not have this issue, so I can't test, but you can try to go to chrome://flags/ (paste this in Chrome address bar) and look for the "Enables pointer lock options". Test this with the "enabled/disabled" options, see if it solves anything.
If not, leave it back to default.
thank you so much this worked for me
Thank you!! I was about to lose hope!!! This totally worked!
Does not, still same issue, also tried with Edge, same result.
Black screen, game sound, and still the same message about the mouse not being detected, and asking me to click anywhere on the screen.
All browser reset options doesn't bring any result, disabling/enabling the stuff in the browser like said above doesn't work either. Frustrating. no games at all are working for me.
I think i will unsbu my pro-account, and waite a year more. Maybe next year...
I’m a hero and I figured it out lol. Just press the stadia button in the middle of the controller and it’ll go away!
Once a game is selected and the message "Press and hold "ESC" to exit full screen" appears, press and hold the ESC key. When prompted, click "Back to game".
Hi everyone,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If anyone still needs help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.
Thank you,
James
