[raiguard][1.1.107][Linux] Tiny Cursor through Wayland

[brothersw]

I just transitioned to NixOS and have been setting everything up. In Wayland mode (which is much appreciated due to 1.5x scaling for most apps), my cursor appears tiny when in the game. This is on a 28" 4K monitor and so I think that this may be causing the issue when in Wayland mode.

xrandr output for the screen Factorio is on:
DP-2 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 610mm x 350mm

Thank you for all that you do!

SDL2 has some issues with cursor themes that are beyond my power to fix. SDL3 will fix these issues.

According to https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/9250, SDL2 seems to have been fixed this on their end, but Factorio needs to update.

So... can we has not tiny cursor on wayland please?

Heya, the issue is still present on the latest version (2.0.13, with Space Age Expansion at the time of writing).

But it's pretty easy to workaround by setting the XCURSOR_THEME and XCURSOR_SIZE environment variables.
For example on Plasma 6 on Arch I use these launch options on steam to get my cursor size to align with the system:

Code: Select all

XCURSOR_THEME=Breeze_Light XCURSOR_SIZE=48 %command%

More details about cursor themes can be found on the arch wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor ... t_variable
I found my cursor themes at /usr/share/icons/Breeze_Light/cursors/.

This worked for me too:

Code: Select all

XCURSOR_THEME=Breeze_Light XCURSOR_SIZE=48 %command%

Two additions:
Using Plasma 6, you can find the theme name and cursor-size in the systemsettings too:
System Settings -> Color & Design -> Cursor

When I set my cursor size to default size * monitor scale (24 * 150% = 36), the cursor was too large.
For me it worked to just use the same cursor size as specified in the system settings.
