Description ready2rumbel 2024-03-09 21:00:14 UTC
Hello there,
As the title suggests, the mouse does not move/respond while playing Helldivers 2 through Steam with either Plasma 6.0.0 or 6.0.1 via Wayland. What's interesting is that if I go into the menu, the mouse cursor moves and I can interact with the options.....but the moment I start playing and moving my character, mouse look doesn't work...but mouse buttons do. Apparently, a few others are experiencing the same issue.

https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1bahzh0/cant_look_around_in_games_after_recent_kde_plasma/

As those threads suggest, using gamescope or running Plasma via X11 are the only workarounds at the moment. Some have mentioned that other games are affected but Helldivers 2 is the only one that I have encountered with this issue so far. Everything works fine with Plasma 5.27 via Wayland.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run KDE Plasma 6.0.0/6.0.1 via Wayland
2. Launch Helldivers 2 
3. Test if mouse look works while moving the playable character.

OBSERVED RESULT
When in-game and controlling the main character, mouse look stops working...but mouse buttons work (almost as if the mouse is stuck).

EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse look should work.

Looking through the bug reports, it's likely this issue is as described in this report:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482629

Alt+Tabbing sometimes gets it to work but it's random/inconsistent that it will work and eventually it happens again. My main mouse is a Logitech G502...tested with another mouse but the results is the same.
