Can't dig/access shovel!?
When I am above a treasure - it says I need to LEFT click to access shovel (verified controls screen and that IS the default and correct button) - However I "left click" and NOTHING happens. I CANNOT access shovel/dig at all. I tried resetting etc. Please advise.

you can change controls in main menu you can try it there. also detector need start flashing yellow when you are over treasure 2 start digging( so you need to max out detector and in that range find the sweet spot) Ill post some YT so you can see just revind into digging https://youtu.be/Q6PaKDQlYd0?t=187 its old youtube video from beta but it looks almost the same.

Can you take a screenshot at the moment of where you get 'stuck' so that we get a feeling of what exact moment you can't continue from?

We didn't have any reports of an issue like this - as when you "can't dig" due to obstructions message should pop up that you "can't dig from here" requiring you to move to slightly differrent position but it should be possible still overall.

That's what was "baffling" to me. I looked/searched for any issues and couldn't find any! As for a screenshot - it's not a "specific" spot - it's ANYTIME I am suppose to use the shovel (once the detector is at max beeping let's say). It did it in the tutorial - so I thought maybe it was that. Then started the regular game/story mode - did it there as well - basically CAN'T dig no matter what! I checked key bindings (which I didn't change, in fact can't change - grayed out). I changed/adjusted my resolution thinking that may be it - but no. NOTHING else seems to be an issue - just for WHATEVER reason once beeping is fast/maxed and it's time to "shovel" I left click the mouse and nothing.

FYI - it's any/everywhere when the detector is maxed out - i moved all over the place left clicking - it does nothing - no shovel, no message, nothing good or bad.

First map, across the first bridge, first treasure - maxed out detector - can't dig/left click doesn't do anything (left click DOES work in every other part of the game)

NotTowoku THANK YOU that was it - I didn't know you had to get it "further" to glowing! (The tutorial I didn't make it that far because I thought it wasn't working BEFORE that spot!

Developers - I am SO sorry to waste your time! I apologize - it was just my stupidity! (Should have known since there weren't any known issues!)

Thank you again - and I am sorry.
