Mouse Cursor Issues With Games

Hi there

I'm having some mouse cursor issues when playing games. Specifically Crysis 3 via Parallels 13.x on Windows 8.1.

The mouse is constantly being released after like 10 seconds and interrupts my game flow. I have to constantly click back into the game and then it messes up my view position of the game. I have tried everything in the mouse settings. All the "auto detect for games"/ "optimize for games"... "sticks at windows edges" and so on. But nothing helps.

Anyone know what to do? I searched online and here but couldn't fix it. It happens in full-screen mode and windowed.

I'm on latest MacBook Pro 2018 15'' and latest High Sierra macOS.

Help appreciated! Thanks
 
Unfortunately this issue is still happening. Even with Parallels 14. It seems the only times when it doesn't happen is when I do a new restart but after using the computer for some time and starting up Parallels and the game it happens again. It's a bit annoying having to restart every time.

Any idea what this could be?
 
I'd like to also add some fuel to this fire. I always put up with this in the past as the mouse jumping while web browsing, etc. wasn't such a big deal, but I recently started gaming again and have really found the mouse issue to be frustrating.

Symptom:
Mouse will occasionally (seemingly randomly, although I am starting to think it happens after a click) jump towards the top of the screen (but not the very top). It doesn't change to a Mac cursor, however. It never seems to leave Windows. The symptom stays the same regardless of which mouse I plug in.

Attempted solutions:
Same as @Matt21, I have toggled the different mouse settings within Parallels to attempt a fix.

Any help appreciated!
