Cursor size in 4K

When you play in 4K under Windows 10, the game disrespects the selected Windows mouse cursor size. The mouse cursor becomes tiny and extremely hard to see, especially on light backgrounds, such as the map. Please fix.

    does the mouse cursor scale with the "window scaling" setting? not sure if those would be connected

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    In Windows itself, sure. The problem could very well be that ESO, or games in general, ignore that setting though, e.g. the +300% in my case.

    As for ESO's own social window scaling. No. Mine are set to maximum and it makes no difference.

    i wasnt sure if the eso UI scale setting would affect the cursor, it does seem to be annoying that it seems to override the windows cursor scaling

    ideally they should fix that (i dont notice issues since i only play on 2k screen, but i could see how bad it would be on 8k lol)

    as a workaround would it make sense to use one of those other applications that does its own custom mouse (i think the one ive seen people use is yolo mouse, primarily for playing ARPG games where its easy to lose your cursor but it might make sense in this case too)

    Zos has been ignoring this issue for years, basically since 4K monitors came out. While there is an accessibility option in the launcher to make its window bigger, the in-game cursor (not the targeting reticule, but the cursor used to select stuff) remains microscopic on 4K displays. I've seen people mention YoloMouse, but we shouldn't have to purchase a separate program in order to make the game work.

    Let me put this in a different way: THIS IS AN ACCESSIBILITY ISSUE. People with limited vision need an in-game way to make the mouse cursor bigger and more obvious.
