Obscure #SteamDeck / #Linux advice needed: I'm trying to play Torchlight 2 in docked desktop mode, but the mouse cursor in this game is SO TINY.
Is there any way to increase its size? KDE's cursor settings don't seem to apply in-game, and I can't find any Steam workshop mods for this.
Help me retro gamers, you're my only hope!

@cdp1337 Thanks for the knowledge. Decreasing to 1440p and even down to 1080p BARELY makes a difference, which is borderline shocking.
Maybe I'll just try to play with some controller mods, might be the best option for playability.

@killyourfm oooh, that's a hard one. Generally cursors in games are assets in the game files and it's up to the developer to support variable sizes.
One idea I have, try to decrease the resolution of the game to see if that makes a difference.
As a sidenote... retro? _RETRO_? Torchlight 2 only came out a few.... holy hell 11 years ago... I'm old.

@killyourfm Looks like the cursors are hardcoded in the .exe from old forum posts. Id wager you need some fringe mod. Maybe something like this: https://www.moddrop.com/torchlight-2/mods/660550-aherins-custom-ui-for-steam-controller

@cpy Yea, maybe! That hides the cursor altogether, which may be useful because it sounds like trying to play with a controller is both challenging, but also somewhat necessary😂 if you want to know where the hell you're pointing at

@LeBlake I'm curious what your thoughts are abour the cursor. I may just have to grab the Steam Controller or Xbox controller mod.

@killyourfm I just NOW uninstalled Torchlight 2, hahaha. No idea about the cursor though. 😐

@trezzer @cdp1337 Cool. I'm seeing some Xbox controller mods, I think I'll just give that a shot.

@killyourfm @cdp1337 It originally launched on 720p platforms. Perhaps running it that low helps a bit? Otherwise, it was famous for being great with a controller before Diablo was.

@killyourfm maybe running torchlight 2 with proton would help?

@sirmikester OH MY GOSH. I never considered that I had the native Linux build. Great tip, I'll try it!
