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 :)

had this happen to me with EVE Online. What DE/WM are you using? If it's a wayland one are you using xwayland-satellite?

This issue would only happen to me with WMs like Hyprland, Niri, Sway, etc. on KDE Plasma didn't happen. the solution I found at least for Niri was ensuring xwayland-satellite was installed AND run the game in window mode.
