Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope?

  • [x] The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications

Current Behavior

When starting Games like Helldivers2 with gamescope, I see no Mouse Cursor. It works, but getting the Mouse on the right spot without seeing it is pretty hard.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Launch a Game like Helldivers2 or Hitman WoA with the following Launch Options: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -r 144 -f --hdr-enabled -- %command%
  2. Observe that you don't have a Mouse ingame.
