Bug ID: 483036
Summary: Mouse not moving when running Helldivers 2 game in KDE
Plasma 6.0.0/6.0.1 via Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ready2rum...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
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.

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.
