Mouse issues on older games (piefed.zip)

Hey there,

I recently purchased Tron 2.0 at GOG. Installed and launching it effortlessly with heroic. But the mouse flickers like crazy.

I do find a guide regarding the Steam version and so on. But I cannot find anything to replicate with the heroic launcher.

Does someone of you have experience with mouse issues on older games and knows more than me (probably yes xD)? I'm not thaaaat long a Linux user. Any help would be appreciated :)

Something similar happened to me with Doom 64 and it stayed like that for a while, until Proton 9 was released. There was also a temporary solution but I don't remember what was it. Though you probably can find it on Doom 64's ProtonDB page.

You can try GE-Proton from version 9 I guess, unless you haven't already tried that.

Put wayland on and proton 9 beta. Works now. Thanks a lot!

No problem! I guess it was indeed a similar issue.
