After the Oct 8 update my mouse cursor no longer shows up when I play with Steam Remote Play. It was working fine prior to the update.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch game on local PC and load game
- Hit ALT-F12 and note what happens to the in game cursor (you can still see the windows cursor)
- Connect to the game via Steam Remote Play (Aka "stream") from another computer
- Note: No mouse pointer of any kind on menu screen
- UI elements react, so you can actually load a game, do so
- Note that there is no pointer in game, no windows pointer or game pointer.
- Try Alt-F12 and note that is does nothing
Other attempted fixes that failed;
- Restart steam
- reboot all involved computers
- Enable mouse-keys on remote host computer
- Change from fullscreen
- change resolution
- change framerate
- Connect from a third computer
Work-around:
- Start game on remote host and load into map.
- Ensure mouse is connected at game start.
- Connect Via steam on remote computer
Note that you must leave the mouse connected, if you have a headless box or switch with a KVM the mouse will disapear,
