Having a problem playing it on Linux. When I open it, it takes a while to start which is fine, but the menu select cycles very fast through all of the options regardless of where the mouses us or what buttons are pressed. I managed to get into the game by pressing the left mouse button quickly when the "play" option was selected, but it kept on cycling when I tried to leave the game too.
I can edit or reply with more details.
The game is really good, when I managed to play :)
We had a similar report a while ago on a Linux as well, menus take input from keyboard and all controllers connected (in that report it was a steering wheel constantly moving downwards). If you can think of anything connected that might be causing this issue, unplug it and try (and tell us what it was!). Otherwise I have no clue what could be.
Sorry for the inconvenience and we are happy to see that you were at least able to play the game!
Unfortunately at the moment I cannot compile a linux build, but next week I'll be able to.
I have to update the game on linux for a small fix that is already live on windows, maybe that will fix this issue too. Otherwise just in case I'll be implementing a workaround so if a certain key is pressed the menus only take input from keyboard. Really sorry for the trouble.
I will poke you a reply when the update is up.
Update is up for linux!
Thank you for your patience. If the issue persists I've put two keys to test. If you press the ALT key it will ignore the mouse wheel for menus, reading online it might have something to do with it. Otherwise if you press the F1 key, menus will only listen to keyboard input.
Hopefully this works!
Hey! Just checking in! Thank you so much for these bugchecks! I'm sorry it took a while for me to play it, things have been hectic!
I used ALT and it didn't work, but F1 fixed the problem! I don't know why this is the case! It might be the mousepad accelerometer(?) glitching out maybe??
EDIT: Oh, I just tried to play the game, hitting ESC did not back me out of the character select screen. And the menu switching bug seemed to happen for the difficulty setting. But when I was in the game, and hit ESC, the menus used for in-game options, and the menu used for the game menu, all behaved correctly :(
It's also worth noting the arrow keys on my main keyboard are basically non-existent, it would be nice to have rebinding options (even if they're in a config file) so I can use WASD (or is that already an option? :o)
Glad to see that with the workaround it works! For the difficulty settings it uses a different code, my bad, just uploaded a version with that fixed (still needs to press F1 first) Difficulty selection does not use a mouse at all, so if it is glitching there it means something is being considered as a controller and messing things up (maybe even the mousepad?¿). Long time ago the engine would detect a printer as a controller and we were very confused by it.
Regarding WASD that's already a feature, not super intuitive, but pressing ENTER loads a player that uses arrows (enter & backspace) and pressing SPACEBAR loads a player that uses WASD (spacebar & esc). We did it this way so two players could play on the same keyboard.
