https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkSlKHFUDFEI put this link here to show that the player is not having my issues at all. I've played the first "Return to Mysterious Island" and it ran fine, just like this video.

Hi, GOG support pages mention this issue and you can find an additional suggestion for fixing it on this page. I got to this page through the support page for Return to Mysterious Island 2, which provided a link to this page.

Hi, Jesse_Arcana! Floating cursor can indicate that your computer hardware is not up to snuff. I checked and the specs for this game are pretty low, but if you have shared video, it could cause a problem. Is this a download?
Can you please post your computer specs? Specifically, your RAM, Processor and video card? You can find all that by right clicking on the white Windows icon on the lower left and clicking on System.
The link Marian provided is also worth a try.

It shouldn't be a problem... I looked up the specs and they are really low. It does require 64 MB of VRAM which I would think even a shared video card would have. An all-in-one computer might not though.

I installed the game from a dvd.
I did do the first fix at the link (Thanks, Marian !), with unchecking the 'Enhance Pointer Precision'.
Also, the second fix I'm not sure if I need to as it's already set at 100 % ?
Or should I go to the 'advanced scaling settings' and manually type in the 100 ?
I went and manually typed in '100' in the 'advanced scaling settings'; even though it already says '100' when I bring up the 'display settings' from the link above.
Thank you everyone for the advice.
Sorry... I'm trying to post the screenshots I took with the 'snip' feature. But this forum asks for the url ? Can someone show me how to upload photos here from the 'my documents' folder or desktop ? Like, drag and drop ? Thanks !

Thank you! I didn't think your specs could be the issue because the game is so old, but it's always good to check and be sure. ls this a "special" mouse pointer? Some games have fancy ones and it helps to turn the option off. One thing I thought of is going into your mouse settings and changing the mouse sensitivity. I know you've turned off the pointer precision, but maybe move the slider for mouse speed up or down? Try this link... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ngs-e81356a4-0e74-fe38-7d01-9d79fbf8712b

The pointer for the game is fairly simple, and I don't think there's an option to use the computers' default mouse. I'll fiddle around a bit and will post it here if there's an improvement --- so that other people can see.

That would be great, Jesse_Arcana! Hopefully, you can find some combination of solutions that will work?

Thanks, Starcom! If mouse settings don't help, maybe setting to Windows 7 compatibility will!

Good news !
I had forgotten, but I'd bought this game from Big Fish even though I'd owned the physical dvd disk. So I uninstalled the BFG RTMI2 version; and installed it directly from the disk. Voila' ! It works perfectly now.
The game producer is called "Iceberg Interactive" , so when the game starts now it has that logo, and not the BFG logo. I have also purchased Kheops' Cleopatra and it's doing the same lagging/jumping even though I patched it with the 'flashing' fix. So I may buy the Cleopatra game in the disk form.
There may be a disconnect in the BFG software and how the game operates on people's desktop PC's ? Idk. I can't speak for people who are playing it on other devices.
But hopefully this helps people trying to play Kheops' games.
Thanks again to everyone who provided advice !

Thank you so much for letting us know about this! You might consider letting BFG know about the issue. Happy gaming with a cooperative mouse!

That's interesting. I remember Jenny talking about them being modified, but I didn't know they were Mac versions. That would maybe explain why they don't work well on a Windows PC. I remember talking with Jenny about the "dumbing down" of so many of the games by Big Fish. Secret of the Nautilus comes to mind!

My PC adventure game downloads from Big Fish (and I have many of them) are all 100% the original games.
That’s very reassuring to hear, Marian, and thank you !! 👍
