I'm running league of legends on debian (don't ask why), and whenever I use media controls (for example play/pause, next/previous track), the game loses the cursor lock, which makes it impossible to properly control the camera in game.

How can I avoid this (other than not using media controls)? Anyone with any experience with this?

    sounds like your media controls changes the focus from the game, to whichever media player you are using

  • I thought so too at first, but then I noticed the game doesn't drop fps which usually happens whenever it loses focus.

  • Do you have a red border around your game if this happens?

    I think the easiest workaround would be to play in windowed mode. This way you can check better if you actually lose focus. And if you lose focus, a simple click into the game window should regain focus. Otherwise I'd think that your issue is more on the OS side than the clients side

When that happens to me (sometimes when I load in game I just do not have Cursor Lock) I just alt+tab out of the game and back in. and that seems to wake up the game that its supposed to have the lock on.

I play windowed full screen, if that helps you.
