    Blocker?
    Happened after latest update

    Details
    Launching the game from steam. When the Play screen opens, the cursor will not highlight the green gem. If I the mouse left click nothing happens. If I press enter I can get past that. At the construction screen, again I cannot press the the long bar button, if I press enter I can continue. At the Play Online / Options screen there is no way to interact so I cannot log in at all. A friend who is running on the LAN with windows is fine.

    I have the same problem, but I am not playing through Steam. Tried two different window managers.

    Blocker? Yes.
    Details: Just start the game either with the Launcher or the game client directly. The mouse cursor changes graphics to the Shroud arrow, but the game does not acknowledge the cursor or mouse button clicks.

    Kernel version 4.11.2
    Nvidia driver 381.22
    Xorg-server 1.19.3

    i've found that it IS working, just not in the right place. for instance, the activation area for the play button is about an inch below the play button. resizing the window forces it to recalculate correctly.

    Suspect related to the following listen in the posted Known Issues:
    "Playing on Fullscreen in desktop environments other than Ubuntu’s Unity (Gnome3, KDE, Cinnamon, etc.) may result in being unable to click on anything. If the client is started in windowed, then adjusted TO fullscreen, it may then work."

    A recent unity3d bug was introduced where if you are using a non-unity user interface (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Cinnamon, etc) and start the game in full screen mode you may not be able to click on anything. This obviously causes problems preventing you from playing the game. If you are encountering this issue the current workaround is:
    • Edit ~/.config/unity3d/Portalarium/Shroud of the Avatar/prefs and change the game to not start in full screen mode:
    Code:
    <pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref>
    • Open your client
    • Switch back to full screen Options --> Video --> Full Screen
    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will be pushing a fix asap.

    Same issue: using KDE in Kubuntu and playing in fullscreen (1920x1080 upscaled to 3840x2160).

    Same workaround helps: edit the prefs file, starting windowed then going fullscreen.

    But

    I

    Have

    To

    Do

    It

    Every

    Time

    I

    Want

    To

    Play

    ...Please kill me.

    Try to remember to switch back to windowed mode before exiting the game :)

    I did try setting -screen-fullscreen 0 as a launch option in Steam which was successful in that it started the game in windowed mode, but I found it also reset the prefs file so I had to manually change all my other settings back to what I wanted.

    Same issue here, running on Xubuntu 16.04 LTS, have to reload manually all my settings. That's harsh for a comeback in SotA after a 1 year pause :)

    I think it ought to be possible to edit the prefs file through scripting, something like this in the Steam command options (WARNING: NOT TESTED IN ANY WAY, BACK UP PREFS BEFORE TRYING):

    Code:
    sed -i -e 's|<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">1</pref>|<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref>|g' ~/.config/unity3d/Portalarium/Shroud\ of\ the\ Avatar/prefs && %command%
    Edit: I assume the Unity issue is this one?
    Woot‽

    AFAIK, this is not fixed in R43.

    Apparently Unity's first attempt to fix this in the engine didn't work. There is a new fix but we likely won't see it until R44.
