My laptop is win 10 and i add Gangster 2 vendetta to play because win 10 cant play gangster 2. when i run, it have a cursor in 1sec, and i move the mouse i cant see it anymore?? pls help me? link game i downloaded: http://igg-games.com/gangsters-2-pc-free-download.html
Uhm, interesting case, I'm replying now to tell that I'm interested in it, though I have no proper solution yet.
First of all, let me say that the link you provided doesn't necessarily mean the download is legal, writing "free download" on the web page is not enough. In any case, I'm keeping the link because I suspect that the game may need a crack also in case you own a legit copy of the game and I fear there could be many cracks on the net, so the case solution could be not a unique one!
I started some experiment with my copy of the game, but it's possible that my "unprotection" is not the same as yours, so please be patient, I'll have to download from that link too.
The game seems difficult to hook to avoid desktop resolution changes: did you manage to run the game in a window or you just left it fullscreen? I had to set "Hook / Hot patch" flag to run it in a window, though there could be a better way.
In any case, I can see no cursor at all, so I think your problem is replicated here ....
Uh... I hate this, but I have to admit that Gangsters 2 is working pretty well with my dead competitor (as long as product evolution is concerned) D3DWindower.
You can use this one until I manage to do something better ...

DxWnd restart after a file import seemed depending on the GUI: are you sure you're not mixing a new dll with some old GUI?
Apart from this, the fixed GUI only fixed the import operation. If you don't import but drag & drop an exe to DxWnd, or simply add a file, maybe the situation is different. Could you describe EXACTLY the operation? I need to replicate the problem to have a faint hope to fix it.
Problems with this game might easily depend on a badly cracked exe with a partially obfuscated IAT, no wonder that the demo doesn't show the same problems.

Problem fixed. It was interesting: the problem was that the game create a I_DirectDraw7 session without using the usual DirectDrawCreateEx call, but uses a CoCreateSession passing I_DirectDraw7 as parameter. The event is managed in DxWnd, but for some strange reason, CoCreateInstance was not hooked properly (this is why I talk of a badly formed IAT...) so I had to enforce this hooking part.
In attach you'll find the updated DxWnd files and a proper export to configure the game, as usual having care to update the game path.
I think you have not download the complete parts you have to download it completely and you may try other website just i have tried this iGG Games you may try this
Hi, I have tried the fixed files above and have the same issue as the OP. Game loads in DXWND but the mouse disappears. Are there any config options I should try?
Is anyone of the three mouse visibility options helping to fix the problem?
