Gamescope is unusable

[junelvaa]

Not sure if this applies to other linux window managers. In sway on arch, I'm trying to run Deadlock through gamescope. I encountered these issues:

- If the scale of the gamescope window is not one to one, the mouse cannot click the UI elements properly (positional offset)
- When trying to play inside a gamescope window, there is not mouse capturing for Fullscreen, Windowed, or Borderless Windowed modes. This means trying to turn the camera during gameplay, the mouse moves off the screen in my dual monitor setup, or halts at the other side.

Note: I can play the game without gamescope, but doing so means that I cannot properly share my screen in the community Discord server.

This is still the case almost a year later. And yet I have received 2 smug rejection letters when applying to work.
Setting this game up to play on Wayland Linux is a fucking nightmare for me. I have spent several days in the past trying.

Current issues include:

- Window/dpi/resolution/etc mouse scaling is bullshit bad (try `cl_auto_cursor_scale false`)
- Gamescope needs --force-grab-cursor
- but then you can't aim while shooting + moving

What is wrong? If you have the money, hire me. I have been telling you for years.
