[0.8] [Linux] Double Characters When Typing Username

[MejaTrouble]

I just saw the TerraTech early access and downloaded it to play. When it first asks me to add a new user, I typed in a username. Every letter I type appears twice. When I hit shift, both the lower and uppercase appear.

I typed in the username "Bobby"

What appeared was "bBoobbbbyy"

Platform: Linux Ubuntu 16.04.4 x64
Version: Early Access - Version T1526650596 619cf052

Note this seems to happens anytime I type text in the game. I also filled out the "Report a bug" in the game and the same double characters happened. You should have an amusing looking bug report from me. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Same thing happening here on Ubuntu 16.04 x64.
This bug seems to be related to the Unity engine (https://forum.unity.com/threads/inputfield-issue-in-standalone-build-on-linux.512008/).

It happened to me me on several games based on Unity recently.
That bug's really getting annoying since it happens on most updated games.

Well, about Terratech, we just gotta hope they update the engine frequently but the thing is that Unity's devs have to make something about it, not the Terratech team. Go spam their forum, and hope this gets resolved quickly... I'll do the same as soon as I have some time to spare.

Nonetheless IMHO, this is a game breaking bug worth to be resolved as fast as possible for the whole Linux community.

Ya, this bug was only in the Beta branch as of 7.9.2 that I found. Before that or in the released branch everything was fine. Some Linux variants didn't have this bug, but as far as Manjaro went it had other problems for me not related to this game, so I had to go back to an Ubuntu type distro, so back to PopOS I went.

This bug is very annoying, since you cannot play this game unless using a controller, as all keyboard inputs are a problem, including driving.

Same here on Debian Unstable. This needs a fix.

BUMP, still happening after the last update... Please upgrade the game to the last Unity version.

Tried again on Terratech v1, Ubuntu 16.04.
And that annoying thing is still happening, it's been months since I could play this game in decent conditions...

Hey guys, we're aware of this issue and as you've mentioned this is a problem with Unity, this was too risky of an update to push out before our launch, but we'll be looking to push out this update in the near future.

Cheers!

Tried again with the last update available on steam on ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, it's still happening, seriously guys... It's been like a year since I played last because of this, what do you call "near future" ?

This bug makes it impossible to enter tech names as well (in saving tech dialog).

There is a workaround for this Unity bug. IIRC, add the following to the game's launch options: XMODIFIERS='' %command%
