Any fellow Linux users on here?

Ok. I got OneDrive and Steam working.

Now I try to use Epic Games with Heroic Games Launcher, which seems to work fine except that the mouse cursor is ridiculously small.

I don't think it is a game related issue, as it is that size also for the Wine Configuration window, which I open from the game's Wine-tab by clicking Winecfg-button. I can scale "screen resolution" from Graphics-tab (in Wine Configuration) to get a text and the configuration window to a readable size, but this doesn't seem to change the mouse cursor size.

I found out that I could use Gamescope-option with "enables upscaling" and "enable force grab cursor" ticked on, with additional option "--cursor-scale-height", but then the frame rate drops and the mouse turns to sluggish and the game don't always even react to mouse clicks.

Any tips?

Go into System Settings in your Programs menu and check the mouse settings in there. You can change the size or even the style of your mouse along with a whole host of other settings.

Mouse cursor is fine in Linux, it is Wine that creates too small Windows-style cursor for Windows-programs run with the Wine.

I have tried few tricks that ChatGPT suggested from environment variables to Wine's Windows-registry entries but they didn't work. I am not entirely sure if I even used correct registry keys.

The games that override Windows cursor with their own seem to work. I could notice same problem in Steam-games that does not use a cursor graphics of their own.

I'll think I go and read the Wine documentation...

I haven't witnessed the problem myself but I don't use Steam or any other platform of that type because I never play online. So I've just got the Gog versions of games installed directly in wine, and so far all of those have their own cursors.

You might use the terminal to go into winecfg and adjust the resolution like so:

To fix the small cursor issue in Wine, try adjusting the cursor size by accessing the "graphics" tab and changing the screen resolution to 120 DPI.

Already tried the "screen resolution".

But it seems that the Heroic Games Launcher uses some customized Wine-GE. I tried to run the game with Wine of my own installation (using command line WINEPREFIX=~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/xxxx wine xxxx.exe) and suddenly mouse cursor was the right size

I am just going to spend some time researching if I can force Heroic Games Launcher to use my Wine instead of its own. If that fails, I just create a start script of my own to run every game I install from Epic Games Store.

You seem to be making sense of it very well for a first time user. Congratulations on a job well done.
