SUMMARY While playing Apex Legends, player's aim (mouse) spins and looks straight downwards. I've checked kwin debug console and there is one unknown input device causes this. This doesn't happen on X11 or gnome wayland and other people having this issue too. Video of the bug https://streamable.com/1uc3uk STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Going in firing range can reproduce instantly. If not happens on first time, it will happen on second attempt. 2. Happens randomly while playing normal games. OBSERVED RESULT Aim (mouse) spins and turns to the floor. EXPECTED RESULT No weird action. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.17.1-xanmod1-1 (64bit) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3
Gamescope fixes this issue but it still needs to be fixed. Launch option: gamescope -e -H 1080 -f -- %command%
Is Apex Legends running under xwayland? If so can you get output where kwin has the KWIN_XWAYLAND_DEBUG env set
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #2) > Is Apex Legends running under xwayland? > > If so can you get output where kwin has the KWIN_XWAYLAND_DEBUG env set It's under "X11 Client Windows" so i assume it is running under xwayland. I couldn't manage how to get output with KWIN_XWAYLAND_DEBUG. If i put it on launch options game won't boot at all. If I'm doing something wrong please correct me. Also here is X11 Client Window outputs. https://imgur.com/a/7mUFNve

It works for me right now. Maybe someother bug fix did fix this one too.
This still happens on KDE plasma 5.27.7 in Wayland in apex legends Other desktop environments or tiling window managers don't have this issue under Wayland It happens randomly in game like other people have reported. At first I thought it was my mouse but after trying x11 it didn't occur anymore but I would love to use Wayland as my main instead of x11 :) If this could be fixed that would be awesome

I suspect it's related to cursor's position and window focus but not sure. It could be that unknown input device again. Since it happens rarely testing it is hard. It would be great if this bug won't resurrect again lol
Created attachment 161574 [details] mouse cursor bug in apex under wayland kwin as you can see here when i move my cursor down the bottom right i'm able to create the issue if i move quick enough when tabbing out, which from guess is the cursor is resetting to the center but the game reacts to it if the player is able to move out of the menu quickly enough.
also im able to push my cursor out of the window onto my other monitor in fullscreen if i flick my mouse hard enough lol
This bug also happens for me consistently on Plasma 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version 5.110.0 Qt Version 5.15.10 Compositor: Wayland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p96iHa7mDI

I was experiencing this bug in Apex Legends on Wayland as well. It happened when I started to use Proton-GE 8.x Bug is present when using Steam's Proton 8 as well. I just reverted to using Proton-GE 7.55 and it works fine. Not sure if it's a Wayland, KDE or Proton bug though, but seems that using Proton 7.55 makes the bug go away.
Tried Proton-GE 7.55, doesn't seem any different from Proton-GE 8.16. The issue happens with both when clicking onto the Final Fantasy XIV window.
This issue has been resolved for me in FFXIV by enabling the Wayland driver in Wine 9.0. I do not play Apex Legends, but I would bet that issue should be solved, too, so give it a try! https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-9.0

You would have to download a Steam compatibility tool, such as: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom As far as I know there isn't yet a build of Proton that's rebased on Wine 9.0. I was using this: https://github.com/rankynbass/unofficial-wine-xiv-git/releases/tag/v9.0 but not as a compatibility tool, but as the Wine binaries used along with the rest of the compatibility tool, XIVLauncher-RB. I used to run Steam in Wine before Proton was a thing. That might still be possible. Good luck.
I'm experiencing a similar issue in Warframe since updating to Plasma 6.0. When I roll my system back to Plasma 5 everything works normally. The issue goes away if I change the display mode as shown in the video, or when disabling one of my two screens through system settings and then enabling it again.

Same issue, randomly happens in Elden Ring. But in some game like Lethal Company camera just doesn't move instead

I tested Apex Legends with the current KDE release in arch and didn't experience any cursor jumps. I recorded it all so you can check it here https://youtu.be/L4SqyzhR768
I had this problem with World of Warships the other day. I tried restarting the game several times and it happened every time. Then I logged out and started a fresh session. Then it was working again.
* Did you disable KDE actions for screen corners? * Try to disable many Desktop Effects, if the issue is gone?
Seems to be the same issue as #483133. Disabling hot corners does not help, it seems to be focus-related as sometimes tabbing out and back in helps (often have to do this multiple times).

Switching to a different TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and back fixes the problem for the current session. Might also be worth noting that I'm using KMSCON instead of the default (which I think is getty).
I asked Xaver about it, and he suggested applying a patch and looking if there was a difference when it works vs. didn't work. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5422#note_900469 I haven't had time myself yet.
