Tiny system mouse cursor stuck in the top-left corner in every GameNative game on AYN Thor

[u/Eutnzj]

Hi everyone! Today i recived my Ayn Thor Pro.

I’m having a really annoying issue with GameNative on my AYN Thor.

Every game I launch through GameNative has a tiny system mouse cursor visible in the top-left corner of the screen.

The strange part is that this is not the actual in-game cursor. When I touch/move my finger on the top screen, the cursor starts behaving normally as the game cursor and then disappears. So I basically have to touch the screen every time I launch a game to get rid of the cursor.

It happens with every game I’ve tried, so it doesn't seem to be game-specific.

My setup

• AYN Thor
• GameNative 1.2.0
• Proton 10.0 arm64ec-2
• Using Cocoon as the launcher
• Game is displayed on the top screen
• AYN Thor Virtual Mouse is disabled

Things I've already tried

GameNative → Controller/Gamepad:

• Screen Mapping is disabled
• There is no "Disable Mouse Input" option available in my in-game menu
• My menu only contains:
  • Key Adapter
  • Guide
  • Key Test
  • Profiles
  • Screen Mapping
  • Screenshot
  • Speed Up
  • Gamepad
  • Follow Global
  • AFK
  • Live
  • Alerts
  • Record

Under Gamepad I only have:

• Handle Style
• L2/R2 Mode

Controller/Input settings:

• Use SDL API
• Use Steam Input
• Enable XInput API
• Enable DirectInput API
• DirectInput Mapper Type
• Show Controller Debug Menu
• External Display Input
• Show Game on External Display

For External Display Input, I currently have:

The other available options are:

• Use as touchpad surface
• Use as full keyboard
• Hybrid

I've also checked the Wine settings, including Mouse Warp Override. Changing Mouse Warp Override from Disable to Enable did not fix the problem.

I also tried disabling the AYN Thor Virtual Mouse feature. It is definitely disabled.

I am already using Proton 10.0 arm64ec-2, so the workaround I've seen where people switched from Proton 9.0arm to Proton 10.0arm doesn't apply to my setup.

What makes this especially strange

The cursor always starts in the top-left corner.

If I touch the top screen and move the cursor, it immediately starts behaving like the normal game cursor and then disappears.

So it feels like GameNative/Wine isn't properly taking over or hiding the Android/system pointer until the first touch/mouse event occurs.

I've found a couple of other AYN Thor users reporting what sounds like exactly the same issue, including the cursor appearing in the top-left and disappearing after moving it with the touchscreen.

Has anyone found a permanent fix or workaround for this on the AYN Thor?

I'm especially interested in whether there is some hidden GameNative setting/configuration that forces the mouse cursor to be disabled or hidden at launch.

I tried to fix it somehow with ChatGPT and Gemini, but... nothing works :C

Hit the bottom right button when you’re in game to open up the In Game Quick Menu GameNative Settings. Go to Controller & Disable Mouse Input.
