Mouse cursor flickers after connecting to a Gaming Rig #643

Description

What happened?

Description

After connecting to a Gaming Rig, the mouse cursor starts flickering inside OpenNOW.

The stream itself is perfectly smooth (60 FPS), there is no input lag, and the issue only affects the cursor rendering.

The cursor is normal before connecting to the Gaming Rig.

Closing OpenNOW restores the cursor to normal.

Environment

  • OpenNOW: v0.5.2
  • OS: Windows 11
  • GPU: AMD Radeon 610M
  • DirectX Backend: D3D11 (also tested Auto and D3D12)
  • Native Streaming: ON/OFF (same result)

Expected behavior

The cursor should remain smooth after connecting.

Actual behavior

The cursor flickers/blinks whenever it moves.

Additional information

The official GeForce NOW client does not have this issue on the same PC.
