Cursor missing in Steam Remote play since Oct 8 update.

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
  1. Launch game on local PC and load game
  2. Hit ALT-F12 and note what happens to the in game cursor (you can still see the windows cursor)
  3. Connect to the game via Steam Remote Play (Aka "stream") from another computer
  4. Note: No mouse pointer of any kind on menu screen
  5. UI elements react, so you can actually load a game, do so
  6. Note that there is no pointer in game, no windows pointer or game pointer.
  7. 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:

  1. Start game on remote host and load into map.
  2. Ensure mouse is connected at game start.
  3. 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,
