directx - Game is blocking Python mouse movements

Question

I trained a cascade classifier for Audiosurf 2 to detect the blocks. Then I calculated the center coordinates of the block so I can move the mouse to that position while I'm playing.

But the cursor disappears when the game starts and I play as the ship moving left and right. My script does not move the mouse in the game. The game only registers the movements from my physical mouse. But when I pause the game, the mouse reappears and it centers on the block like it should. Click function on the block also does not work.

I tried several libraries: mouse, pyautogui, pydirectinput, and pynput. It's possible for me to get the current position of the mouse but cannot move it. None of them worked without having a cursor on screen. The keyboard presses from these libraries work fine however.

Several posts mentioned that games use directinput so I tried both win32api from this answer and ctypes from another answer. They also didn't work in game.

I feel like I exhausted all my options at this point. Any help would be appreciated.
