Issues fixed
Left Click orders - Mouse Cursor does not change from fist (attack cursor)
- Fixed in the GOG.com version.
Some users are unable to use left clicks to order heroes around, with the game thinking that the user wants to use the attack cursor. A fix for versions of the game affected by this bug can be found by downloading the file linked here: Steam Community - Ultimate fix for the cursor problems
Without the patch, the cause and fix aren't consistent among users, with suggestions to use Windowed mode, Enable compatibility mode for Windows 95, use command line parameters -winxp -32bit
[citation needed]. Otherwise, the workaround is to use the right-click command menu.[citation needed]
