Amazon Fire TV Stick and Mouse Issue #1130

Open DaShermanator opened 1 year ago

DaShermanator commented 1 year ago

When playing any FPS game (Overwatch, CSGO, COD ect) my mouse does not function correctly. The crosshairs are stuck at the center of screen with the perspective of either looking up at the sky or down at the floor and mouse movement does nothing but spin the character in circles on the Z axis.

Moonlight running on Fire TV Stick with mouse and keyboard connected to the Fire TV Stick. I have tried both bluetooth/2.4 dongle for wireless connection to the Fire TV Stick or wired connection using a USB hub. Both yield the same result.

My 8BitDo controller works great. However, I have no chance competing with keyboard and mouse users in games like Overwatch or CSGO. I think it's important to note that other games, non-FPS games (strategy, top-down, 2-D) work fine with keyboard and mouse. It seems as though the Firestick does not recognize the mouse input for FPS games however, I cannot find anything online regarding this issue.

I am turning my office into a nursery and have to game somewhere else so I was hoping to get this working for playability on other screens in my apartment. Any solution, fix or advice (even on a different setup) would be appreciated. Keep in mind I'm working on a budget.

Thank you. -Chris

Which model of the Fire TV Stick are you using?

If your Fire TV Stick is an older model, it may not have a new enough version of Fire OS to support proper mouse capture. It would need Fire OS 7 or later (based on Android 9) to support this, since the feature was introduced originally in Android 8.0.

Thank you for the prompt reply cgutman.

My Fire TV stick is 3rd Generation (Model Number: S3L46N) purchased October 2021. I verified it is running Fire OS 7.2.

I would think the fire stick is a common device for moonlight given it's the most economical ($25 on Prime day). I'm surprised I can't find anything about this online.

I would appreciate any other suggestions. Can anyone out there duplicate this issue?

Do you by chance have the "Remote desktop mouse mode" option enabled? That can cause issues with FPS games.

DaShermanator commented 1 year ago

No. That was one of my first attempted solution. Toggling "Remote Desktop Mouse Mode" made no discernible difference.

Should I try side loading Moonlight on the fire stick?

cgutman commented 1 year ago

The APK version posted here is the same as what's on the Amazon Appstore with the exception of Amazon's code signing.

I tried to reproduce this bug by pairing a Bluetooth mouse to my Fire TV Stick 4K Max also running Fire OS 7 and the mouse worked as expected while streaming.

When you ran your test did you attempt playing any FPS games that utilize relative mouse motion?

DaShermanator commented 1 year ago

After nearly a year that I have had this issue it seems that the latest windows update for my host machine (i7-4770k) has resolved my problem. I can't explain it but the mouse is now working as expected with relative mouse motion. I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing open source software and the fact that you even responded to my issue in the first place is amazing. The community really appreciates what you have made. Thank you.
