Update: if the Legacy applications (X11) is set to "Scaled by the system" cursor can enter the launcher window normally. Conjecture: "Apply scaling themselves" breaks the cursor for Warframe and possibly other launchers. This option is the default.

That link downloads an MSI file, which is a windows installer archive. How did you get this installed on your presumably non-Windows System? Can you write specific instructions?

Also, what scale factor is your system using? And what's its screen resolution?

Download the Warframe.msi file using your browser
Make sure you have wine (or wine-staging) and dxvk installed on your system
Open terminal emulator of your choice and navigate to where you downloaded the Warframe.msi file (e.g. 'cd Downloads')
execute 'wine Warframe.msi'

> Also, what scale factor is your system using? And what's its screen

Scale factor is 125%
Native screen resolution is 2560x1440@165 Hz

I toyed with the scaling settings last night and much to my surprise the cursor was able to enter the launcher window with "Apply scaling themselves" setting. As you can see in the showcase video, I didn't imagine the issue, but now I can't reproduce it anymore. I'm changing the bug status to WORKSFORME but also NEEDSINFO in hopes of receiving any kind of explanation as to why it didn't work but now it suddenly works. I should point out that there were no system updates between 'broken' and 'working' states. I'm baffled.

Comment 6 pmargeti34 2024-10-06 05:31:59 UTC

Update: I have a reproducer. Launching another game that uses xwayland (ADOM - https://www.gog.com/en/game/adom) prior to launching warframe causes warframe launcher window to ignore mouse pointer. Workaround is changing the scaling mode settings after ADOM has been closed.

Fixed in Plasma 6.2
