Finally an update! xD

Had hoped I left YM in perfect shape while I went off to work on another project, but alas software can never be perfect. These are items that crept up over time...

One in particular is based on reported issues I couldn't reproduce. But I knew these must be related to the hooking system (where YM jumps into a game and tweaks its cursor). So I ended up rewriting the whole thing to fix a lot of performance and stability issues. One caveat is you may be nagged with an admin popup for old 32bit games that run as admin - like DAOC.

The other important update finally fixes the wierd input issues some may have noticed in certain anticheat protected games like Lost Ark.

Also some new cursors! :)

Btw, that project I mentioned is a new crosshair app called YoloX. It uses much of YM's tech and some improvements of its own that I rolled back into YM.

UPDATES

1.8.3: Fix: Error popup if opening YM quickly multiple times.
1.8.3: Fix: Subscribed workshop cursors disappearing if starting YM while steam already running while "sync with steam" is OFF.
1.8.3: Fix: Larger cursors not showing in preview, like Nyan cat.
1.8.3: Fix: Fullscreen games getting minimized by license nag
1.8.2: hotfix: invisible cursors in WoW.
1.8.1: hotfix: apps targeted by YM not shutting down properly
1.8.1: hotfix: partially disabled overlay app blocking. it was overly aggressive and caused black screens for some folks. for now it only blocks the geforce and steam overlays.
new: added YoloBypass.exe which serves purely to fix wierd input issues in some anticheat protected games like Lost Ark. It only runs when needed (no bloat!).
new: cursors: anvil, bag, balance, book, bow, chest, flame, heart, mail, satchel, skull
buff: improve performance by disabling rendering for the cursor and settings menus when theyre not in focus.
buff: improve performance and anticheat security by only hooking into intended apps.
buff: improve hooking safety against crashing the target app
buff: block other overlays from hooking into YM. this prevents various known or potential problems.
remove: old 32bit injector. replaced by above changes.

UPCOMING

new: achievements
new: simplify 3D cursor system
new: docs

Feedback greatly appreciated! - Steam - Reddit - More

And kudos to all the workshop contributors! :)

In-game event21 Jul 2026YoloMouse 1.22.0Added more basic cursors to better capture cursor meaning observed in various games. Then used these to create bundled presets for some popular games. Building these presets and finding every cursor, especially in WoW, was an adventure... but this uncovered several issues noted among buffs/fixes. Several games were also found without window cursor locking, so added a toggle for that 😊 UPDATES…In-game event9 Jul 2026YoloMouse 1.21.0This one is mostly performance, polish, and fixes. Some new items include mouse sensitivity control and cursor upscaler control to allow retaining pixel art style 👾 Some reported cursors sometimes disappearing when ALT TABing for certain anticheat games. I couldn't reproduce this but made a few tweaks that may fix the issue.

There's some limitations due to various Proton restrictions like the game having to be Windows based. So consider this an interum version before full native Linux support 😎 To use start YoloMouse from Steam then a Proton/Steam game. If you see a pink arrow in taskbar then all is good and the usual YM flow should work 😊 The rest is a load of QoL, perfo…
