Mouse input not accurate and windowed problem

[therealdanhill]

Just a couple more things I want to point out to help with the beta.

I was playing House of Fata Morgana, I'm on an Acer chromebook 14. I did not have a controller plugged in as it's a text based game. It was not the steam version, I added it to my library from steam.

Anyways the mouse input is off, where I would click on the screen the mouse cursor in game would be a bit down and to the left of my chromebook cursor. This obviously made it a challenge to hit any of the in-game buttons.

------------------

The second problem is when I start a game and the steam app is fullscreen on my chromebook I get doubled-up images of the game screens. I get a smaller windowed version over a larger version in the background. I will share an image of what I see, note in this screenshot the game is actually in windowed mode though, but regardless of if any game is in fullscreen mode it does this: https://imgur.com/SadfJBf

Thanks for your time

Do you have DPI scaling on for your computer monitor?

How far down and to the left?

Does the offset change if you move the game window around on your computer?

Thanks!

Hey Slouken

1. Do you mean on the computer I'm streaming from or the chromebook I am streaming to? For the chromebook screen zoom is at 100% and the resolution is 1080p. On my windows 10 computer that I am streaming from it's at the recommended 125% with a resolution of 2560x1440

2. I'd say an inch down and half an inch to the left.

3. No, the offset remains constant

Additionally here is what I see when I first enter big picture mode: https://imgur.com/a/Ht1TDSN

The app itself is fullscreen properly, once I connect big picture mode is not. I have to minimize the app and fullscreen it again for it to display properly.

You know, I just tried again and the cursor was now down and to the right. I could have sworn it was down and to the left earlier though.

Slouken is this something the team had anticipated, do you think it's something fixable?

I also have similar mouse issues while streaming point and click adventure games (eg Grim Fandango, Full Throttle) to the beta Steam Link for Android on my Xperia Z5 Compact phone. The mouse pointer in-game gets off-set to a point different than where my finger is touching the phone screen.

This way it's sometimes impossible to focus and click on some objects on-screen.

I think this issue exists only while streaming a game. I don't get it while I'm navigating on the Big Picture mode.


PS. I think this thread belongs to the new Android subforum.

Is there anything I can do to fix this on my end or do I have to wait for a client update?

Also yeah it belongs in the android forum

Out of curiosity, since you mention the mouse coordinates are correct on Big Picture mode: are the affected games running in a different resolution than Big Picture? I wonder if that might be affecting it.

Everything is set to 1920x1080 so that isn't it. It's inconsistent in where the in-game cursor will land too in relation to where I'm trying to click, I've seen it to the left, to the right, up, everywhere.

In my imgur link above, that's how games open. a smaller verison in the lower left corner and a bigger one under it. of course with it being like this the mouse is pretty much unusable. Even when it doesn't do that, if there is only one image of the game it;s way off.

Here's a log, maybe that will help. I just want to know if there's anything on my end I can do, if this is a known issue, if it's something people at Steam have noticed, if they can get their hands on a chromebook to see what I'm talking about. I'd like it to be able to work or to at least know they are gonna look into it.

Like therealdanhill, I've tried games that have the same resolution as Big Picture -- the ones I've mentioned are remastered versions of old point and click adventures and they do run at the same resolution as my desktop which is currently 1920x1080.

Turning off encoding options makes the app work on Chromebook. It fixes the isues I had with screen sizes and with the pointer not being accurate

I'm having the same issue with Windows 10 Pro, where were the encoding options on your chromebook?
