    I'm running Beamng.Drive on a Windows 10 64-bit PC with an AMD Radeon R9 380 video card. The system is fully updated with all drivers and firmware (including chipset, etc.)

    I'm a new BeamNG.Drive user and noticed that when I'm trying to navigate the menus using the mouse, the accuracy is severely off. For example, in order to select any items with the mouse cursor, I have to position the cursor so it's nearly 3/4" below where the button actually is.

    Desktop/Game resolution is 2048x1152. I'm using a Logitech G9x wired mouse.

    Any fix for this oddity?

    I also have an Xbox One USB controller connected to the system that I use for playing the game.

    Are you using windowed mode or full screen? I have noticed this problem as well, but only in windowed mode

    Sometimes windowed mode can glitch out causing this issue. Solution: Always use fullscreen.

    If you have positioned your Windows start menu bar on the top of your desktop, move it back to the bottom.

    I'm using fullscreen mode. And yes, I do put my Windows Start menu at the top. Good catch. Is there a fix in the future to address this? I prefer it there and would like to not keep switching it back and forth for this one game.

    There has been 1 other user with this issue. It happens in BeamNG.drive, and also in other unrelated games.
    I took a quick 20min look at the issue, and couldn't see where the offset was coming from, so decided to let it pass for the time being (given it doesn't seem to be a beamng-specific issue).

    Interesting. OK thanks for looking into it. I haven't had this happen with any other games in my vast library. At least there's a known workaround for it, which makes me happy. I'm assuming that you are a developer of this game. If so, might I request another feature? When you bring up the menu (clicking the left thumbstick) there is no fast way to exit the game. You have to scroll all the way from the top to the very bottom to get to the Back button. It would be nice if you could just move up one space and have it loop back down to the bottom of the screen.

    Our idea is to revamp the input of the UI some time in the future, so these kind of fixes are low priority. If your keyboard is close, you can alt+f4 to exit immediately to desktop.
