Inventor Gadget Bug

[Leqwack]

I am unable to physically click on the Inventor's Gadget on the right side of the screen. Sometimes the button will highlight when I hover the mouse over but I can never get it to register. This breaks the inventor character whose core mechanic revolves around being able to actually use her Gadgets.

Had same problem on episode 3. Worked for a turn then stopped. Still had charges and even after switching gadgets didn't work. Tried restarting game and scenario and neither resolved the issue.

I have tried reinstalling as well and it didnt fix it

Same here - I am at the very start of the game, played warrior, thief and robot once, in my fourth go with inventor, after the first fight (where everything work just fine), i can't use the gadget no more... as in never. :( It sometimes lights up (not always) when I hover the mouse over it, but clicking just doesn't do anything. Haaalp!!

Edit: After dying and getting to episodes, I can add that episode 2 went just fine. Haven't tried 3 yet, but this problem didnt occur one single time in ep. 2 for me.

Edit2: After the 2nd episode was done, I revisited ep. 1 today, and hurray, for some reason the gadget bug was gone! Have no idea why. Will report if ep. 3+ are having troubles again.

seems to be progressing for you, it is unchanged for me. It doesnt matter which floor, episode, etc. im on the gadget will not register

same with me man

The gadget bug happens if the gadget is in the rightmost slot, so if the rightmost column in your equipped items is not free. It seems the cost of using the gadget is having two less cells to use in your equipped items.

I got an email from the dev himself over the issue. It seems it is indeed a bug and he has added it to his to-do list, everyone!

Thx for letting us know! I just finished ep. 6 with inventor, but it was somehow dull since I could not use any gadget. :( I still dont understand why this bug seems to affect only a few of the players, since I have seen it work on stream even in the episodes it does not for me. Maybe the worst bug to be overseen b4 release imo.

Same bug and if you put a dice on it you cant take it back xD

Hey all - I consider this the most serious open issue in the game right now, but I can't replicate it or figure out why it happens. It seems to happen a lot for some people, and never for other people.

If this happens on your computer, could you try capturing a video of it and posting it here? It might help me to figure this out!

[clebec]

Hey Terry! Great to see you're looking into this! 👍
Sadly, I have no idea how I would be able to capture a video. :( I can test specific stuff tho if that helps. So far I have tested flankattack's theory above and it seems to be correct for me as well: As long as I have only two rows filled with equipment, I seem to be able to reliably use my gadget. As soon as I have equipment in all three rows, I can't anymore.

Just tried to reproduce the issue today, after the v1.5 update, and I haven't been able to. Fingers-crossed it's been fixed. Thanks for all your work on the updates, Terry and co.

Just had this happen in one play-through of the special event after the v1.6 update. I tried to reproduce it while recording but didn't have it happen again.

I have had this happen too and it is not restricted to the Inventor. It is anything in the rightmost slot for me, yet only seems to occur in full screen mode. Playing in windowed this does not occur at all.
