Mouse Cursor is TOO BIG when streaming from PC with desktop scaling ON

[k4]

ISSUE
Mouse cursor (windows and ingame) is HUGE! Way too big.
I play path of exile using remote play for years (8k+ hours) with no cursor issue but now after update from October 8th (i guess) its BROKEN!

Changelog says:
"Fixed the cursor being too small when streaming from a PC with desktop scaling enabled"

This probably broking the game cursor, now some games are very ugly to play.
I have 2 PC:
1) Streaming FROM (HOST) - 4k resolution, 200% scaling
2) Streaming TO (Client) - 1680x1050, no scaling

Mouse cursor is like 4x bigger than usual, can you please fix this as it was since it was GOOD!!!! or at least add settings option for this.

NOW ITS BROKEN!

OS
Windows 10

STEPS
Have 2 pc with host 200% scaling, higher resolution, client lower resolution.
Start to STREAM any game

RESULTS
Mouse CURSOR is TOO BIG!!!

EXPECTED
Mouse CURSOR is as it was - normal - before this 10/8/2024 fix!

I recorded it on mobile and posted on youtube here too see how ugly it looks now:

Adding logs from "streaming_client.exe.log", please give me a christmas gift and fix/revert this or tell me how to fix it (other than changing scaling or so)
(Btw i tried another games, like AoE2:DE or Factorio, all the same, all huge cursor now)

I'm having the same problem, it was working a month or two ago, not sure when I last played, and then now its suddenly ginormous. My settings are:

Host: Windows PC 2560x1440 100% scaling
Client: Macbook pro 1400x900

Hardware encoding and decoding on
Resolution limit 2560x1440p
Low latency network on

the rest is off or automatic

If I change my client resolution to the maximum, which is 3360x2100, the mouse will be the right size in the game stream, but is virtually unusable as a computer because the cursor is about half a millimetre wide anywhere other than the game.

I actually just posted this same issue in General before finding this. I have this issue as well and it makes some games absolutely impossible to play with the cursor so huge. Changing remote streaming resolution and relaunching has about a 1 in 10 chance of giving me a medium-size cursor, but no consistent solution.

Any update on fixing this issue after 3 month?
This was working for years and thousands of hours perfectly fine until October 8th update which broke it, or was something fixed with it? Can you revert this change, pls?

[_I_]

windows desktop scaling always breaks things
turn it off for streaming

[k4]

no, i cannot turn it off and it was working perfectly until they broke it....
