Developed by Smitegate and Tripod Studio, Lost Ark is one of the few 2.5D isometric top-down games that gained massive popularity in the last few years.
Released in the Americas and Europe earlier this year, the game passed the 20 million player base mark just a month after its release. However, the last few weeks seem to be tough for those playing.
While some are stuck at the endless loading screen on Haiger’s Manor and Rielvarr Ruins, others said the auto-dismantle function was broken or not working as intended.
Adding to the long list of problems, Lost Ark players are now reporting an issue where the item icons get stuck on the cursor (1,2,3,4,5).
Many say it is hindering their ability to dismantle items since they are unable to right-click and are often unable to click anywhere else after it happens.
Common troubleshooting steps such as verifying game files via Steam and restarting the game aren’t helping either.
While restarting the game fixes the problem, it is not a practical solution. Thankfully, Lost Ark developers have acknowledged the issue and said it is currently under investigation but there is no ETA of when it will be fixed.
However, we came across some workarounds that might help fix the problem. The first one requires players to switch characters, teleport or change location.
Some say holding Ctrl + Scroll fixed the problem for them.
We hope Lost Ark developers soon release an update that fixes the issue where item icons are getting stuck on mouse cursor. If and when they do, we will be updating this space to reflect the same so keep checking PiunikaWeb.
