Cursor disappears after 3 seconds

So this appears to be a common gamescope issue with fixes available online. However I don't quite know how to apply the fix to Bazzite. So by default gamescope will hide the cursor after three seconds. In my games this is accompanied by a change of color/hue of the entire screen making the entire thing very noticable. A solution is to set the --hide-cursor-delay to some very high value. However I do not know how to apply this in Bazzite. For normal steam deck users they can edit their /usr/bin/gamescope-session file but this file does not exist on my (clean install) system! Anyone know how to resolve this?

There is a ‘force composite’ option in gamescope which may help Requires enabling developer mode iirc

Good one, I'll give it a try! Enabling force composite at least fixed the screen coloc changing, which was the most annoying issue! The mouse still disappears (obviously) but I can life with that Thanks!
