Left Handed
Since the last update it seems that my mouse buttons are reversed. I have my mouse set up to be used with my left hand. Right button is Primary and the Left button is my secondary. Since the update this seems to be reversed and I cannot correct it.

It also seems that I cannot drag and drop inside my inventory any longer. It will only allow me to split stacks. Is there something I can do about this?

I"m not a lefty, one of my daughters is though. Isn't this something you just change within Windows / Linux, you use? Again, not a lefty and have never had the struggle like most of you have lol. When I built our daughters PC that was one of the first things I did for her.
I didn't know if the settings would carry over into a game or not.
Hope they fix the issue fast for you all.
Again, sorry for my ignorance about lefty issues :steammocking:

I can't quite find the post immediately, but apparently somebody looked through the code of the latest patch and found that some functions were reading the hardware codes directly while others were reading it from the OS (or something to that effective nature). This means that the former set of functions won't be affected by changes in your Windows/Linux settings, so they'll always act as if set for a right-handed user as well as breaking some other stuff.

Thanks for the info. I have checked everything on my end but it hasn't helped. Love the username. It was my username almost 25 years ago when I first created a gaming account. lol

Yeah I have had those setting since I first set up my PC as well. It works for most games but some slip through the cracks. Valheim worked well until the last patch. Now it's broken. Thanks for the comment though.

I hope they get it fixed for both of us, and all the other left handed peeps. It makes the game unplayable atm

Well hell, that's roughly how long I've been using it as well (first started using it in the school computer lab about 30 years ago)!

That's awesome. It's so funny how these types of run-ins happen. I would have never guessed that would be possible. lol
