Stuck on Console Commands (HoloISO)
This might be a duplicate of this bug.

Hardware: Ryzen 3000 Notebook
Software: HoloISO

The game currently defaults to console commands, which cannot be unchecked
(change not saved). Using my xbox controller does not help, as its input is ignored,
even if i force-enable xbox controller support within the steam settings page.
The issue neither dissapears when running the emulated windows version,
nor is it fixed when using the next beta branch.

My guess is that the game recognises my system as steamos (which HoloISO is based on), which then applies the steamdeck controls. However, i cannot use those controls,
and the keyboard lacks most functionality (cannot place buildings etc.),
which makes the game unplayable.

It appears that the xbox controller issues were unrelated (os-specific bug),
all other statements are still valid.

Im also having the same problem on steamdeck through the steamdock with kb+m attached.

I can fix it temporarily by plugging the pad in, moving the mouse to get the game to revert to kb+m UI, then unplugging the pad so I dont accidentally activate the console UI again by brushing past the sticks :steamfacepalm:
After game restart however, the game seems to revert back and I need to repeat the process.

iirc, it happened after the first time I used a pad on the game, before that it worked fine on the deck with kb+m.

I tried checking the integrity of the gamefiles in the settings menu. I tried reinstalling and deleting the game folder in the steam/common directory. I dont know linux based systems so if anyone has help on other potential locations for settings files, that would be helpful :)

Can describe more what you mean by pad? Do you mean an additional gamepad plugged in via the steamdock as well as a kb+m? I tested with a usb mouse plugged into the deck on 121r4 and that worked ok. I want to accurately reproduce this issue on my end.
