An update on that Audio2 error, sometimes it works and sometimes not, and then running the Directx setup doesn't help...
And yeah, the cursor offset problem persists for all resolution under 3200 x 1800.
I have searched the net for other solutions, none of them did it.
Please help, I would really like to play this game.

What is going on in your system? Unless you are re-installing your drivers a lot you install DirectX once and that's it.
The only other reasons i see why a driver should not work after a successful installation are disk/file or memory corruptions.

I already told you: this issue is not game-related.

Your strange resolution is clearly artificial and i know it's none provided by nVidia DSR. Up to now you did not even make clear how your system allows you to run in 3200x1800 with a native display resolution of 1920x1080. So how are other supposed to tell you what's wrong?

Downsampling: 1 level 3200 x 1800 -> 1920 x 1080 (bilinear scaling)
Now, this is everything I know about that weird resolution. And I have no idea wtf that line means, so I made this thread in the hope that someone else knows. If you think that was the wrong way to go about it, then who should I ask instead?

This line is not generated by LoG. There is no downsampling feature in the game.
Disable or uninstall the software you installed to cause this.

I don't recall installing any software like that. I have searched for it on my PC but not found any. The only instance "downsample" turns up at all is in a different game's files.

Err .. are we playing a guessing game here?
When somebody asks you

of course this person wants to know all there is to know about your system, especialy when the first thing you say is that it's "custom" made.

EDIT:
I looked around a bit and the only systems i could find that use this 3200x1800 resolution are notebooks like the Lenovo Y2P line.

This is a complete Everest Home report.

And this is all software reported through CCleaner.

That should be all information.
