invisible cursor

[sewnie]

running a program or any game under gamescope with wayland makes the cursor work but also become invisible. i looked into the WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS variable i had set for the compositors cursor to work correctly but it did not help; the same issue appears on X, suprisingly - the cursor just does not appear.

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -f -- wine is my launch command.

nothing interesting appeared in logs other than missing X net atoms:

mouse works, just cant see cursor.

I can confirm this with Half-Life 2, but in Final Fantasy XIV the behavior is different. (This testing is with the overlay disabled.)

With just gamescope %command% or with -b the window does not show a cursor or respond to mouse or keyboard input at all. I can either end it with Stop, or if I try to close it Plasma sees gamescope is unresponsive and asks if I want to kill the process.

With gamescope -feb %command% the game launches and I can see the software cursor, but when I hover over any button, the game freezes up for a moment. If I move away from the button it freezes up momentarily again.

I am able to reproduce this by going into in and out of the ESC menu multiple times (where is shows Settings and Exit to desktop mode buttons).

I also seem to be running into this issue as well on an NVIDIA gpu, running endeavourOS. Basically either it shows an X(and on the latest GIT it even stays in the middle of the crosshair making it less pleasant to play as it moves left/right and center again) or no cursor at all, but the mouse itself works fine in-game. Note: This issue is present under both X and Wayland.

I'm also having this problem.

RTX 3070. 525.85.05 drivers Nobara Linux 37 6.1.6-203.fsync.fc37.x86_64 KDE 5.26.5 /Wayland but it also happens on X11. In X11 cursor is corrupted or a dark a transparent box. Qt 5.15.8

This happens in Apex Legends. I haven't tested other games. Apex launch options gamescope -W 3440 -H 1440 -f gamemoderun %command% +fps_max 98. I also tried with --force-grab-cursor but it didn't work.

This no longer occurs for me in Final Fantasy XIV or Half-Life 2 on Arch. Gamescope works fine with the following launch command on both Plasma (X11) and Plasma (Wayland).

gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -b -e -- gamemoderun %command%

Cursor invisible for me since I did an update today. I can still hover and click things. Since I am on plasma I can shake the mouse to get a bigger visible cursor for some seconds but the ingame cursor is missing too.

Cursor invisible for me since I did an update today.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/pull/1486#pullrequestreview-2558869983 Works in the SDL backend though.

That one is fixed by 19dc18e81a0b4ea5fc340b225150ac4b8ee729fc.
