Please add custom hardware cursor support
I really can't believe it's not possible to change the hardware cursor to something manually specified in UE4...
I know it works for software cursors, but really, who want's to have software cursors in a game? They are laggy, they waste performance and they are laggy! Having a game run with 30fps might be acceptable for most people, but having the mouse move with 30fps is definitely not acceptable.
UE4 is out for over a year now and this is really basic functionality... Even games from 15 years ago were able to use nice animated custom hardware cursors, so this surely is no magic.
I would accept if this would be possible and not blueprint exposed, but it's not even possible with c++ in UE4 without modifying the source code!
I know it's possible to add this feature with modifying the source code of UE4, but really, do this every time a new version of UE4 is released and hoping it still works is not a solution.
Where is the problem? Why do you not just integrate this into the Engine? This is so basic functionality... Who cares about GI or foliage improvements if it's not even possible to change the cursor...

I was looking for custom hardware cursor since 4.2, just after i've learned how to turn off lamps and open doors. Then, happy Slavq created a new, cool cursor and went to project preferences to change it with one click and some drop down menu... And it was like "Surprise motha****a, you can't"...
Imho it's really a must-have thing for any game that use cursor more than just clicking through main menu.
