No Left-Click on Mouse, Main Menu

[Sunfire]

Couldn't use my mouse in the game.

I could hover over the options on the Main Menu, but to 'click' it, I had to use the Enter key. I was able to access the Options > Controls menu using the mouse to hover over an option, then pressing the Enter key to progress through the menu.

Under Options > Controls > Preferred Controller, I only had 'Keyboard' listed. If there was supposed to be Keyboard then Keyboard + Mouse, then that option was not there. I also tried to unplug and replug the mouse, both while in the game and while out of the game. I also re-verified game files, but everything was 100%.

I tried to reset controls to default, which did nothing. 'Fire' default button was 'Left Mouse Button', but when I tried to rebind the key to 'Left Mouse Button', it said the button I was trying to press was already bound to: #!#SELECTWEAPONFROMWHEEL#!# and that assigning this to a new action will remove the current binding. Pressing 'Yes' here did nothing.

Ultimately, requested to refund the game, but thought the bug should be pointed out. Using Windows 10 64-bit with a Logitech G502. None of my friends I was going to play with ran into this issue, so not sure what it could've been.

Did you also have issues in the game itself?

We have seen this issue on another computer where he could not click in the main menu but it worked fine in-game.

This was our artist who had a special monitor with custom drivers. It had a special pen which worked as a mouse and which allowed him to draw on the monitor. When clicking with this pen on the main menu, he could navigate through the main menu. Clicking with his mouse would not work and he could also use "Enter" to simulate a click.
When we changed his monitor to another one, he could click in the main menu again.

Do you also have a special monitor or another input device (pen / another mouse) like this?

In game however, he could shoot and play normally without having to bind anything. It was only in the menus that this bug occured.
Sadly because the drivers of his monitor and pen are not made by us and the click detection is done by the engine we use, we have no code we can access to fix this bug.

For the preferred controller: "Keyboard" should have been named "Keyboard + Mouse".

Thanks for letting us know about this issue, our apologies for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, I don't have a pen input, graphical tablet, nor a special monitor. Just a standard desktop, single regular monitor, one graphics card, with a single USB keyboard and single USB gaming mouse. I don't have a controller either, but I wish I did to troubleshoot further.

When I got into the game itself, I still had to use the keyboard to attack, but the in-game cursor detected the hover over (like in the Main Menu), so it would still control the aim/direction of the character. However, there was still no firing/attacking when left-clicking. So I had to swap between holding the mouse to aim and pressing a keyboard key to fire/attack.

I guess I could've tried something like using Logitech's drivers to turn the mouse keys into keyboard keys using the macro editor to see if that would work, but I didn't think of that before the return processed.

Experienced the same issue, makes key binding impossible in game, on top of completely different controls from first game. Honeslty pretty upset. Took a solid game turned it into every other loosely controled 2d shooter. advice: put in option for moving right faces right, moving left faces left. The jump button is forgiveable and I'm guessing mapping could have fixed it but not the drastic control change with no option for original controls. I'll try to "fix it" for a couple more hours. but the experience of this killed it. Could have been beating a new game that My GF and I were looking forward to tonight. Now I'm trying to fix a game just to see if I can make it similairy fun as the first. Sad.

Same issue here on Microsoft Surface Book 2, which has a touchscreen and pen.
The mouse click is not working in any of the menus.

Im having the same problem on my laptop, but then the game decided to rebind my fire button to escape, so i had to do a fresh install and wipe all game files from my PC. I really want to play this game so can i please get a fix, this problem has gone on too long

Well,
I wish I read this thread earlier. Wanted to get gg&c2 for a while. Now I have it, but it is unplayable due to this mouse issue.

Since no fix since 2018 I'm afraid this is another game that will be buried somewhere in my library :(

Anyway, feel free to reply if this ever gets fixed.
