Mouse and game
I am trying to play a game on an iPad Pro through Fluid desktop to a windows computer. Inside the game, I can’t fully pan around. Basically when the mouse gets to the edge of the screen the panning stops. It seems like the mouse isn’t locked to the game or something because the cursor is still present in-game when it shouldn’t be.

We've released Trackpad (Gaming) gesture profile in Jump Desktop for iOS 9.6.7 on Sep 20th 2021. This gives you full pointer lock and delta mouse movements for games. To activate it, connect to a computer using Fluid, tap three dots on the top -> Settings icon -> Gesture Profile -> Trackpad (Gaming).

We're working on this and will be adding a 'Point lock' option in the upcoming update. Please contact support@jumpdesktop.com if you want to try it out when it's ready for beta testing.

This is coming. We're going to be adding this for the next update. This required adding support in the Jump Desktop Connect app which we've done. The next 6.4.x update on the Connect app now supports pointer locking. We're working on exposing this feature in the iOS client now. Also - the new Mac beta already supports pointer locking: https://changelog.jumpdesktop.com/mouse-cursor-locking-for-games-and-3d-apps-4dbIhW

Hi,
I tried to play minecraft with pointer locking. It works well! However, the mouse pointer is fully visible on screen all the time which is a bit annoying. I saw in your DOOM Ethernal video that the mouse pointer is not visible. How did you accomplish this?
I am connecting from a Mac (Macbook Air 2020 - Intel) to a Windows 10 machine.
Thanks!
Regards

SO it's been a year and a half since the initial post on this topic... How are we going? are we ANYWHERE near having this supported on iPad Pro? I mean Apple have added semi-decent mouse support to iPadOS in this time, and we still don't have full mouse support in Jump Desktop yet.. :(
Somewhat related question - can we have TestFlight NOTIFY us say a week out that the currently installed beta is expiring so we can download the latest available beta? or just have it auto-download? The amount of times it happens to expire literally the day before I end up in a data center for a call out at 2am and then have to stand there and wait for it to download on flakey wifi is shocking haha.
