Some of the games that require keyboard don't work when i first load them. I mean, no matter what i press, no input is being registered. It fixes itself after a few times of page refreshing, but still it's annoying. (Played submissions on chrome)

Check out my game btw (it happens there also)

Same,For me, it sometimes seems to change when i'm in full screen or not.

I guess they broke something on the backend.

this might be a stupid question, but did u check whether the game is in focus or not?

itch usually starts games out of focus, so ud have to click on the game window to register input

TeamDisgraceSubmitted2 years ago

If you're asking if i made "during focus" condition while developing the game, i didn't.

But yes, i clicked on the game before pressing any keys. I also tried different browser.

hmm just out of curiosity, have you faced this with unity games?

TeamDisgraceSubmitted2 years ago

I way playing your game while answering to your comment btw. Same issue happend here :((

nice coincidence xd but well atleast in my code i dont have any condition related to input, so im not sure its the games fault

Kesha WhiteSubmitted2 years ago

I notice that too. but fix it with click on the game screen by mouse

some builds is strange working on itch.io. for example sometimes I have trouble with eternal repeating sound of walk, after character stops.

TeamDisgraceSubmitted2 years ago

I've tried clicking. Doesn't work anyway :/

Playing on Liluo helps. Usually people include the link in the description

Compared to my last working game:

I have updated GDevelop to the current version.
I have updated Chrome Browser to the latest version.
Same Windows version.
Same computer.

The problem is that it happens occasionally. You might’ve simply missed that issue.

Sometimes You need to "Re-Focus" on a window when you enter fullscreen by clicking in the canvas again...
That's an HTML5 thing...

I just found-out my game does not run to well on Safari (OSX and IOS)...
Witch is weird, because I'm on Chrome (OSX) and the game runs fine...
So maybe that is something worth looking into..
