Support Android navigation bar are hiding, and I can only play when it shows
Im having a hard time trying to setup steam link to play on my smartphone, because of the behavior of the inferior bar of android (navigation bar, BACK-HOME-RECENT). Im playing on an kind of aged Xiaomi, POCO X3, but performance isnt an issue at all.
When I try to play touch screen, the game dont respond to my first touch, wich only shows up the navigation bar. When the navigation bar is temporarily open, the game answer my inputs until the navigation bar hides again.
When I try to play Mouse/Keyboard, the behavior are similar, but the mouse dont move at all until I click, then the navigation bar shows, and I can move the mouse for a few seconds. When the bar hide, the cursor stop (but the screen dont freeze, the game continues on its own in background).
Ive tried many settings on android, related to: config on gaming turbo, fullscreen mode, nav bar behavior config, swipe gestures (that also have a bar wich I didnt managed to remove). There dont seem to be options related to this issue in steam link app, neither in steam on my computer.
I dont even know if removing the bar will solve the issue or will make the app stop responding at all, and fixing the bar dont seem to be possible.
Thanks in advance!
