I’ve noticed that using the `showMouseCursor` function (set to `true`) from the player controller disables mouse rotation. A solution I found is using `setInputModeGameOnly` on the event tick (in the ThirdPersonCharacter from the ThirdPerson template). This is hurting my frame rate. Is there a better way to regain the mouse rotation for camera movement? I’ve tried using the `setFocusToGameViewport` and `setInputModeGameOnly` in `EventBeginPlay`, but that is not fixing the rotation problem.

You don’t need it on tick, you just set it back to game only once.
