What happened?

When I switch to the client machine from the server machine, the mouse does not move on the client machine.

Mouse clicks still work.

The server is running on Windows 10 2.4.0-release-3e0d758b, the client is Manjaro with Barrier installed via snap 2.4.0-release-ac5a1bfd.

Switching to version 2.3.4 for both client and server resolved the issue.

I have attached the log output from both the client and server.

server.log

client.log

Version

v2.4.0

Any other information

I installed 2.3.4 and the issue has gone away.

Are you using DPI scaling on your Windows server? I noticed that was the issue when moving to 2.4.0. Rolling back to 2.3.4 on server (2.4 client still) fixed it, so it seems like something introduced in 2.4.

@ravenium That is what I initially thought the issue was, but it was present even after turning off scaling. I can try a few more attempts this weekend and will share the results.

Same issue here. Downloaded version 2.4.0 on two Windows 10 laptops. Mouse clicks and keyboard were working but mouse would not move on the Barrier client. Resolved by installing 2.3.4 on the Barrier server machine (2.4.0 still running on the Barrier client).
