Alot of disconnects (mouse grab not working)

Post by Puttenoar »

Hi all.

Im still having alot of mouse capture issues.
When on auto or on i most of the time the cursor disappears and the focus seems to work.
But after the first mouseclick its unfocused, i can see the cursor again and the next click gimx disconnects because focus not working. Some times it works for a minute or a bit longer.
Also elevated rights doesnt work.

If i try enough times it will work eventually. But its annoying to tv to hdmi 1 and after spawn in bf5 it gets disconnected again
I already updates tot 7.15 were this problem is supposed to be fixed. Also did a clean install of the software.

What can be the problem?

Hello,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

If running GIMX on a laptop, set the laptop screen as main display (menu bar at the bottom), and run gimx-launcher on the laptop screen.

If the above does not work or does not apply, try disabling "fix scaling for apps" in display settings.

Ok. Will try the scaling setting!

Edit:
The setting is already disabled..

Ill set scaling back to 100%.
Had it turned up because of a larger living room recently.

Edit2:
Works directly first try.

Is this something that will be fixed in an update?

Hi Matlo.
I replaced all the cables one at a time and one of 3 was faulty. (The one connecting the DS4)
Altough i could always Start again right away i didnt feel like the cable was bad.
Also the charging was on.
But anyway it is fixed.
I still have it sporadicly but i guess the connector in the ds4 is a bit broken or something.

You may close the topic
