CURSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the cursor disappears after pressing F, use manual color controls, try Space-based picking or confirming where it still works, and record your setup before reporting the issue.
QUICK ANSWER
If your cursor disappears after pressing F to enter painting mode, you are not the only one. Several players have reported this after a recent update. A temporary workaround is to avoid the eyedropper and use Space to pick or confirm colors when possible.
If that does not work in your setup, use manual color adjustment or the color wheel until the issue changes in a later update.
Pressing F enters painting mode, and the painting cursor may disappear before players use the color picker or eyedropper controls.
The cursor may still appear when hovering over the color wheel, then become invisible again when moving away from it.
Some players report that pressing Enter or confirming color may still work even while the cursor is not visible.
This has been reported on more than one PC setup, so it may not be limited to a single mouse, monitor, or local configuration.
This is player-reported troubleshooting, not official documentation. The exact cursor behavior may change after updates.
No. This page is about the cursor becoming invisible or disappearing. If the sampled color is visible but the color result looks wrong, that is a different issue.
For color samples that look too dark, too bright, or different from the clicked surface, use the eyedropper wrong color guide.
Do not download random "cursor fix," "eyedropper fix," DLL, cheat, mod menu, or unknown EXE files for this issue. Stick to Steam, in-game settings, and safe troubleshooting.
