How to make cursor bigger?

[HubKing]

Wayland + Gnome. I had been using fractional scaling but it caused too much problems, so I switched to 100% scaling + font scaling. It seems that fheroes does not respect font scaling, and the cursor is very small.

Is there any way to set scaling for the cursor?

It seems that fheroes does not respect font scaling

And it is extremely unlikely that it will do so in the foreseeable future. GUI elements of the original game (taken from the original AGG files) are designed for specific font sizes, not with scalable fonts in mind.

Is there any way to set scaling for the cursor?

Try to enable the software emulated cursor via fheroes2.cfg. Software emulated cursor should adapt its size to the in-game resolution.

I did not expect in-game font to be scaled by that setting, but the cursor size. Anyway, where is that file and how should I enable software cursor? I installed fheroes2 using AUR Flatpak. I found the location of it under /var/lib/flatpak, but I could not see the cfg file.

I don't use Flatpak myself, but the config file should be somewhere in your home directory, because it's, naturally, per-user. In Linux, fheroes2.cfg is usually located in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fheroes2 (usually, ~/.config/fheroes2), but for Flatpak this path may be different. Try to look somewhere in the ~/.var/app/io.github.ihhub.Fheroes2 directory.

Yeah, I had looked into the ~/.config directory before writing the reply above, but I could not find one, so I thought maybe the file is inside of the Flatpak. Following your answer, I found the file at ~/.var/app/io.github.ihhub.Fheroes2/config/fheroes2/fheroes2.cfg. I changed cursor soft rendering to on, and now the cursor size is correct. In my opinion, this should have been the default option, because the game itself does not scale according to the native resolution, and probably users are using a lower resolution (in my case, 864x486).
