can't move the mouse on Arch with xfce in fullscreen

[qew Nemo]

Hey guys, I love your game so far, but I couldn't play it on Linux. I'm on a fully up-to-date Arch using xfce and the mouse cursor keeps getting locked to the center of the screen and I can't move it and thus can't click anything.

UPDATE: Hm, if I run the game in windowed mode, it does work correctly though.

Bug confirmed for Debian Jessie and Ubuntu 14.4.1

Hi there,

I'm extremely sorry for the delayed response!

We are currently looking into to the problem. Can you confirm that you are both running the latest version of the game, 1.0.4 ?

Update:

This seems to be a bug in the Unity side of things. We are trying to find a workaround for it.

We have added a workaround for this Unity-related bug in the new version 1.05 of the game. To enable the fix one needs to do the following:

In Steam's launch options for the game add: -HardwareCursor

Note that this will have the side effect that it will be possible to click off the game window and consequently lose focus of the game when using a multiple monitor setup or playing in windowed mode.

Thank you, this also solves a slow moving mouse pointer problem too. This also occurs on Doorways, so hopefully will be able to fix that as well.

Adding

-hardwarecursor

to the launch options also fixed my mouse issues. I am running Fedora 21 (Gnome Shell 3.14).
