Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1900

What happened?

Using it normally in desktop mode is all fine, but whenever I boot into a FPS game the mouse will cause the character to look straight up or down and any movement causes the camera to spin wildly. Is this a bug or just bad configuring?

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

Host computer from github, steam deck from the discover store

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Linux, Windows

What OS versions are you using?

2.4.0 for both

Relevant log output

No response

Any other information

Only whenever I open a FPS game, desktop use is all fine and dandy.

I suspect the game doesn't know what to do with the virtual screens. I don't have that specific issue but games fail to lock the mouse bounds to themselves while barrier has other systems accessible to it so when I move the mouse to the edge they get shot over to another system and the game is minimized as well. What I do is enable scroll lock before playing a game to lock the mouse to the screen then launch the game. Issue is resolved at that point for me. May work for you as well.

Oh I can try that. I assume I enable it on the remote computer right? Is that something native on most OS's? I don't see anything similar to that in the steam deck settings.

Sorry I can't help on that front. Don't have a Steam Deck to check it with.
