Same issue.
Running on Win11 with 2.4.0 Server
I also did the same as ElieMyldea, downgraded to 2.3.3 as the server, client stayed on 2.4.0, and it works.

I had the same problem, downgraded the server from 2.4.0 to 2.3.3 and now it works as expected, also changed high DPI settings to Application on barriers.exe. Win 10 64bit host, RPi4 Raspberry OS 64bit client.

Can confirm setting back the DPI to 100%, worked for me as well. Both Server and Client Win10 with Barrier 2.4. Unfortunately my screen is too small for this to be usable. So I have to downgrade to 2.3.3

I am having this issue on the steam deck, however I am unsure how to install a prior version of barrier through Discover.

There is a similar issue that solved this for me and various others when using 2.4.0

Please see this issue:

Windows running server with scaled DPI doesn't work (v2.4.0) #1638

Had the same issue where the mouse goes to the corner, and cannot move, this solved it for me.
