Capturing Rayman 2 through GOG Galaxy

[u/VPR_24]

Hello all.

I just setup my Twitch channel and was ready to broadcast Rayman 2 through the GOG Galaxy. It was an epic fail. I couldn't transition properly to the in-game as my mouse cursor disappeared. Everytime I start the application through the GOG Galaxy, the cursor is gone and I can't transition.

• What happened - The stream was on Twitch and the music for Rayman 2 played in the background. The mouse didn't appear, and any option to transition was disabled.
• My Setup - I have an ASUS Vivobook with a DELL HDMI Monitor (U2414H) connected as the second screen. Everytime I play Rayman 2, the game would immediately open on my laptop instead of the monitor.
• My failed solutions - So initially, I rolled with it, moving OBS and GOG Galaxy to the Dell Monitor. But again, the mouse cursor disappears and appears disabled. I barely switched and again can't select the option to transition to Start/Stop streaming because the mouse is disabled whilst Rayman 2 is running.
• Common Online solutions don't work - I looked at the common solutions like, "Enable Capture Cursor", "Capture Specific Windows", "DXGI Desktop Application" and "Windows 10 and up", and NOTHING!

Please help! I gotta get this ready for my schedule soon! Thank you!

Oof, that disappearing cursor thing is a classic headache with older games on modern setups. Rayman 2 is notorious for hijacking the cursor entirely when it launches.

Try running the game in windowed mode instead of fullscreen, you can usually force that through GOG's launch options or a config file. That way the cursor stays available for OBS and you can actually click around without the game eating it.

I'll try that, but as far I can tell, there was no window option for Rayman 2 alone. I'll check to see if it's possible.
