A +1 for this issue, I get no Cursor on a host using Windows.

Pretty much every detail is the same on my machine, except for having an RX 5700XT instead. The other bug report stuff applies.

So, there is a bit of a work around,

Ctrl + Alt + ↑   Shift + M	Toggle mouse mode (pointer capture or direct control)

GameStream on nvidia seemed to know how to handle transitioning between pointer modes on its own.

I run the issue that if im playing minecraft i need the direct control mode but when i exit out and need to navigate the menu i need pointer capture.

If i try and play in the wrong mode my character flails wildly till I set it right.

A bit of an announce to have to constantly use the hot key every time i need my cursor or not.

this is the case for nvenc and windows 10 for me too, sunshine sees it though:

is this a Bug or not?

issue is not exhibited with #681

It turns out specifically that my issues was a custom cursor. @ryanteck @blitterz @JamesM92 are you running custom cursors too by chance? I was able to set it to default by going into windows 11 accessibility settings mouse pointer and touch and changing pointer style.

also should I rename the issue to reflect that it was custom cursor causing my issue?

Excellent find. That pointed me to the issue in the code and I have a fix for it in #720.

[cgutman]

Please try this build from #720 and see if the issue is resolved: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/suites/10231526085/artifacts/501564044

If not, please mention what game or custom cursor settings you're using and the exact circumstances where the cursor appears and disappears.

Note that this PR does not solve the issue of the mouse cursor not appearing if your host PC doesn't physically have a mouse connected and has no cursor visible locally. This reported issue specifically relates to the case where the mouse cursor appears locally on the host, but not remotely.

[Quackdoc]

it's working on my end! thanks a bunch.

[ReenigneArcher]

Please don't close this as it's still present in stable.
