Mouse Cursor not seen on projection

[lee]

Hey all,

So weird issue here. I run a 2 PC setup and use obs on my game pc and project fullscreen to my stream PC Avermedia GC573 card. Weird thing is the projector source doesnt show my mouse cursor at all, in game or anything turning "show cursor" on or off (using check box in game capture properties still nothing. When I use Display capture it shows, when I clone my display capture and fullscreen projector source to Cap Card it shows.

I have re installed twice, I have added and removed the Game capture source many times. It also doesnt show in REC central which leads me to believe it is just to do with the projected source (fullscreen projector source).

I use the most up to date OBS (30.1.2) run as admin the is the exact same on both Game PC and Stream PC, short of uninstalling from teh stream PC (which makes no sense as its only the projector source) I am not sure what to do.

No obs log as it just does it without recording or streaming (which is only done on the stream pc anyway, the issue seems to be with the projected source FROM the game PC)

The reason I project is so I can use HDR and GSYNC as Windows doesnt allow HDR when cloning. I also use windows 11 64 bit fully up to date.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi all a little update here.

I have found the reason but not sure why. So if I put my cap card HDR (through windows display toggle) and project a HDR source to it that's when the mouse vanishes. Every other projected source when the cap card is SDR works.

Maybe this will help someone who sees this, it affects both Avermedia GC573 and the Elgato 4k MK2 (I think its an obs thing more than cap card)

If I find a fix totally I will post here.
