Controller/Menu trouble

[jamuspsi]

I'm REALLY enjoying the game, but I keep running into an ugly controls bug. Starting immediately, I sometimes run into a bug where after interacting with the town board (for upgrades) the first option almost almost instantly becomes deselected, and no other option can be selected with directional inputs. Backing out and rapidly pressing confirm can get through the gap, though every menu becomes similarly deselected and so nothing useful can be done.

Restarting the game seems to clear this bug until I've done a dungeon run. It occurs both when I successfully clear a dungeon and when I'm KOed. Once I reload the game it seems to work without fail until I enter a dungeon. I'd gotten used to this, and was enjoying it enough that restarting between dungeon runs was fine, but the last time I did that I lost progress.

I'm using an xbox 360 wired controller. I unplugged it while it was happening and it didn't help; the controls switched seamlessly to keyboard (slick!) but the auto deselect happened until I restarted the game. While the bug is in progress, it doesn't seem like any input- keyboard or controller- can help. Though there's a brief moment where I can confirm before the deselection occurs, no input seems to restore selection.

I am playing on a docked laptop with the secondary input set to clone. Maybe it's something about the mouse position, though no other game (including random itch.io unity games and league of legends and minecraft) seem to trigger it, so I doubt this is it unless there's some framework standard coordinate translation call you're not making.

I'm a professional developer and I love your game, so if you need a log file or for me to run some debug build, reach out to me.

This has also happened to me several times. Came onto the boards to look for this.

Some extra observations: snapping the left joystick to navigate the inventory seems to play the selection sound multiple times, though not on the same frame (it's louder, but distorted as though the action is happening on adjacent frames). Other than the sound, there's no obvious effect- the selection reticle doesn't seem to be moving doubly or triply.

While this bug is in play (until I reboot) the blacksmith menu has similar trouble- each page immediate deselects, though pressing the bunpers will change the page, update the tooltip for the default button, place the reticle on the top-left most option, and then immediately deselect. I do get the corner arrows effect on these (and on the town board menu for Shop vs Town) for an instant. It seems like more than one frame in one of the affected menus before the bug causes deselection, though- Maybe like every other frame?

Hi, that sounds indeed related to how mouse is handle and losing Unity GUI focus. It's been reported to tech support and we'll research and try to solve it, thank you for being patient!

I'm using the steam controller and I'm still having this problem. Has it not been fix?

Same with me - PC using Xbox controller and as soon as i talk to a shopkeeper, i can no longer scroll thru their menus. No potions for me

Same here with the Steam Controller. Game seems really good but I won't bother with it until this is fixed - really annoying bug.

Was just getting into this game on the Steam Link using my Steam Controller. Huge bummer to see it's gone for over a year without being resolved.

*edit* FWIW restarting game appears to temporarily resolve the issue.

I just bought the game, this is still an issue as of May 2021. This nearly makes the game unplayable, having to reset the game after every run just to upgrade or craft anything :-/

I am having this exact same issue 4 years later. The game is truly unplayable when I cannot even interact with ANYTHING. How do I fix this???

I literally just bought the game. Installed. Started. Was greeted with a screen saying "Controller recommended but keyboard is cool". Got to main menu. Can use 'W' and 'S' to go up and down. Can't do anything else. 10/10 best menu game ever.

Edit: 'J' is enter, 'K' is back. Whomever decided those would be the default keys WITHOUT giving a prompt in the menu did not think it through and is possibly an idiot... mean, yes. But frustrated I am.
