Outline Cursor Blinks When Moving

[KiteRyu]

So I'm still trying to solve this bug, or at least find out what is causing it.

I installed as many programs as I could find, and so far only ArtRage and Clip Studio Paint are having issues. Whatever the issue is, it causes both programs to display that flickering/blinking cursor at the same time, but doesn't affect Corel Painter, etc.

As far as I know, the bug is fixed by logging out of Windows and logging back in again. After awhile, 30 minutes to an-hour (it can be quite random), the bug reappears. I can't see anything in Event Viewer. I can only imagine it's to do with either the GPU driver (Intel HD 530 for Skylake 6700) or the Wacom Driver, but...

1. The mouse is also affected in ArtRage
2. It only affects the Wacom Art Pen, not the standard Grip Pen or mouse in Clip Studio Paint
3. These are the only programs affected at all
4. I've tried multiple GPU drivers and Wacom drivers with no such luck

I'll be getting an NVIDIA GPU fairly soon, so maybe that will help, otherwise I'm stumped, I've had to go back to using Corel Painter over ArtRage because of this, since the effects of the cursor is paintful to look at.

Oh one other thing I want to mention, I've tried using screen recording software to record the bug, but when playing it back it's as if there is no bug at all, the cursor is smooth, I'm only seeing the bug myself, which is very strange (60fps).

Hi!

I am having the same problem. I got a new pc with Windows 10 Creators Update on it and it has this "drop in frame rate" while hovering the cursor. I did not have this when I was working with a much weaker machine on Windows 7, so this is probably related to driver or compatibility. Although it is a small problem and I can work normally with it, I would rather not have it.

The 101% text scale fixed it, but I will start a painting now and will report back if it returns. If it does, I will try to run Artrage with my Nvidia graphics card.

Thanks KiteRyu!

Yeah, it didn't work. Neither setting the scale to 101% or using the graphics card. :/
