I actually experience the mouse not being fully captured as well if you have multiple monitors. Not sure if this is due to using Wayland or not.
i have the same issue. i am on garuda (arch) installed from flatpak. this may or may not be related, but when it is booting up, the mouse does not respond at all. and pressing esc in game kind of unbinds the mouse from the system and you have to click to have it be part of it again.
yeah, another note. pressing escape unbinds the mouse. esc is need for closing menu and a lot of things in game. can we do something about this?
This happens to me too while playing genshin (single monitor, flatpak version of gfn)
Edit: it only happens on wayland. Launching the game on gfn in a x11 session produces no unexcpected behaviour
so i can play if i log in with x11 right guys?
Correct. I tested this out just now actually and it worked perfectly on Plasma 6 X11.
Also got it working under Wayland using Gamescope:
gamescope -b -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 --backend sdl --expose-wayland --prefer-vk-device --force-grab-cursor -- geforcenow
Probably not all parameters are needed, but this is what worked for me. Should note though that this only worked with the AUR version, and not with the Flatpak. Would be pretty cool though to integrate gamescope into the Flatpak, since it also brings upscaling. GeForce Now streaming only goes as high as 1080p
I had the same issue with the app in flatpak on wayland. It is working fine when I install it following the instructions in README.
Apparently this bug does not happen when using the Appimage version, while they solve it they can choose to use this option instead of using Flatpak, (btw using the "Nix Version" is also not an option since there is the same bug)
In addition to running it on an x11 session, running it on Xwayland also does fix it; that is why it works on AppImage because it runs with Xwayland by default.
Noteworthy is that when I try to run GeForce Now through Brave in native Wayland, the error is also fixed. So it could be fixable under native Wayland, but until then, the Flatpak version shouldn't enable Wayland by default.

You all can fix it by running it on Xwayland; do it by adding this to the executable command: "XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11"

i open the application directly by clicking the app image file, where should i add this?

Open a terminal in the same folder where the AppImage is and run XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 ./geforcenow-electron_2.1.3_linux.AppImage
Though in general for managing AppImages, I recommend using something like Gear Lever, which automatically creates .desktops and allows easy access and modifications.

when i ran it i got this error Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. and when i added --no-sandbox tag , gfn window did open but it was jusst stuck on white screen

Don't run it as root.
i upgraded ubuntu, that seems to be running x11 by default. it runs better now hey @Play-InTheWay do you know how to exit tho? i press Esc but that doest exist gfn.

I can do it without issue. I don't know how you could fix it.

This really does the trick for me! 🥳
even when i hold Esc key, nothing seems to happen
@spectrum705 For exiting, have you tried Alt+F4? From what I can see, it has been added as a binding: https://github.com/hmlendea/gfn-electron/blob/427bd0c7312630fb62df732848a046423cd8e06a/scripts/main.js#L114
