Mouse not behaving correctly - Cloud gaming - Nice DCV
vigneshgr8 Dec 10, 2020
I setup a gaming server in AWS with ubuntu server, steam and Nice DCV for remote access with minimal latency.

Everything works fine except the mouse.
The mouse works fine for the desktop use but doesn't work inside the game.

Moving the mouse in any direction will result in the game camera looking over the top of the character and then just rotating in place.

I tested this with multiple games and all are affected.

I saw somewhere that relative mouse position option fixes this issue inside 3d rendering softwares but enabling that option did not fix the issue.

Someone please help. I'll write a blog on how to do it and you'll be able to play do cloud gaming for around 0.2$ an hour.

It does sound like a relative mouse issue. Is there a difference between exclusive fullscreen and windowed fullscreen (for games that have that option)?

I played Rise of the tomb raider and superhot.

Both of them has exclusive full-screen (i believe) and I used that.
