Bug ID: 527216
Summary: On KDE Plasma Wayland, the desktop cursor flickers
over Crimson Desert’s in-game cursor when the mouse
moves.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.8.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
The mouse cursor flickers between the Crimson Desert cursor and the desktop
cursor while I move the mouse. When the mouse is still, the game cursor looks
normal. Sometimes the cursor disappears, but mouse input still works as if the
cursor were invisible. . It looks like the two cursors are fighting over which
one gets displayed on top.
Minimizing and restoring the game temporarily fixes the issue, and I can see
the game cursor normally. The flickering returns when leave the menu and
re-enter it. The issue started after updating KDE Plasma today. it worked
yesterday. I tested Enshrouded and did not see the same problem there.
A recording does not capture the issue, the video shows the game cursor
correctly, even though I can see the flickering on my screen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Launch Crimson Desert through Steam using Proton-CachyOS Latest, Proton-GE
Latest, or Proton Experimental (Bleeding Edge).
Move the mouse while the game is running.
Move the mouse over an in-game menu and observe the cursor.
The issue occurs in fullscreen, borderless, and windowed mode, both with and
without PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.
OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop cursor flickers over or alongside the game cursor when the mouse
moves. At times the cursor disappears while mouse input continues to work.
Moving into a menu may make the cursor visible again. Minimizing and restoring
the game fixes it briefly, but the flickering returns when I move the cursor
out of the menu.
EXPECTED RESULT
The game cursor should display and respond to mouse movement without the
desktop cursor flickering over it.
