items stick to mouse?

[Yarpfish]

Almost every time I pick up an item from my inventory it "sticks" to the mouse and won't let me use, let me put it down or interact with anything else in the game. I have to close and restart the game every single time.

Has anyone else found this? Is there a way to fix it? I am enjoying the game but I can only manage a few minutes at a time at MOST before I have to restart because an item has got stuck again

I have never had such an issue, from your description, it sounds like you have a dirty mouse. Could be that some dirt causes the left muse button to stick, and that makes you unable to use items, since even though you physically let go of the button, both the computer and the game reads the left mouse button as still being pressed down.

Could that be the issue?

If that were the case I'd surely see that in my day to day using of my computer. It's just in the game.

Still worth a consideration, besides, to exclude something beforehand, is confirmation bias. It should be checked, how consistent the issue is, in the game, versus, how much you use the mouse for other things, type of usage.

In 'The Room' games, there is click and drag, which means the left mouse button is held down for an extended time, which might cause it to stick. Everyday normal use, which is mostly just single click, might not be pressed down long enough to stick.

I have been playing Cooking Simulator with a mouse I've had for a long time, while holding down the left mouse button, it sometimes lost connection. Even though i held down the button physically, it did not register as such. This was not an issue for everyday usage, which was just clicking, but showed a prevalent issue whilst playing games.

You could do a simple test, open a folder, click a file, and hold. If the mouse 'sticks', then it is probably the mouse itself, and not the game. To be sure, whether it is or isn't, you should try doing it 10-20 times. If after 20 times, the mouse does not stick, then you have tested and confirmed with evidence, that the mouse itself is okay. If so, the issue might be caused by other things. Whatever the cause is, it is inadviseable to make big changes, for a minor problem that can be fixed with small changes. With that I mean, that it might just be a small problem that causes it, and making a whole bunch of changes, is likely to make it very difficult to find out the issue.

- Restart your PC and try again (it’s always worth a try!)
- Verify that the game downloaded correctly. Right-click on the game in your Steam library, select Properties->Local Files, and select “Verify integrity of game cache”
- Check that your drivers are up-to-date. You can find instructions on that here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6416-EYDH-0477
