Mouse Won't Turn Around Correctly When Playing Several Games on Windows Inside VMware Fusion Virtual Machine on Mac
When playing several FPS games on my Mac using VMware Fusion, I have noticed that my mouse won’t turn around correctly.
Software
- VMware Fusion (13.5.2)
- macOS Sonoma (14.5)
- Windows 11 Pro (23H2)
Cause
VMware detects the mouse movement inside the game and also in the host machine’s environment, which causes issues with mouse detection and handling. When I try to turn around using mouse, it cuts off at the edge of the virtual machine and is then detected as mouse movement in the host environment. For example, this issue affect Counter Strike 2 game.
