After a cursor update ships, players who join older lobbies sometimes see cursor rendering issues. The mismatch between lobby versions causes the problem.

When you receive a cursor update but join a lobby running an older version without that update, the client and lobby disagree on cursor assets. The result is missing or incorrect cursor display.
Update to the latest game version through the launcher. If the problem persists, verify the lobby host is running the same version. Both sides need matching data for cursor display to work correctly.
