Mouse Capture Difficulties
I am attempting to play Battlefield 2042 on GeForce NOW, launched through Lutris, but it's having severe issue with actually keeping my cursor locked to the program. It keeps sliding over onto my second monitor and then getting locked to weird boundaries on my primary monitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a major Linux noob. Feel free to ask further questions and I will try to answer them as best I can.

use gamescope and see if that helps
scb -- %command% in the launch arguments,ScopeBuddy - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
this doesn't work well for me. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out. I have two monitors and it says in the document that you can use the flag "--prefer-output {your-device-here}". I used "kscreen-doctor -o" to find out what those device id's were. I got DP-1 and DP-3. When I put "--prefer-output DP-1", it will launch the game on the wrong monitor. When I put "--prefer-output DP-3", it crashes the game. Is there something I'm missing?
To add to this. I found a post that said that Wayland is the culprit. I tried switching to X11 and while the internet seems to say that this is possible, I am not finding anyway to make this work because it involves modifying files that are immutable.
X11 is not supported here
