Linux,Steam:keyboard detected but can't type anything

Postby unused on Sat Jun 21, 2014 1:04 am

It has happened since the first time I played it. When asked to enter my kingdom name, I couldn't type anything into the fillform. Luckily, I managed to go back to the start screen, and somehow there was already a Kingdom of Fe. So I start playing for about one hour without getting through the tutorial. While playing, I can use the keyboard shortcuts, that means my keyboard were detected alright. Then I thought I wanted to start over, so I deleted the Kingdom of Fe, and when I tried to make a new kingdom, I remembered that I can't type. Now I can't play it at all.
Logging in to my Desktop Dungeon is impossible too.

I'm using Arch Linux.

Key input and string input are handled in different ways in the game. Both use Unity's core functionality though, so I assume that whatever keyboard driver you're using isn't returning the correct keyboardString to Unity. Sounds like it's constantly resetting that instead, so the game has no idea what was "written".

I have to say that I have no idea how to solve this issue for you... I don't have access to whatever keyboard systems you're using.

But, I use a laptop. So my kerboard is connected directly. My other games don't have a problem like this.

UPDATE: I appeared that I can type. It's just that the letters aren't showing :lol: . Do you know the cause of this? Anyway I'm back playing this game now. :D

I also have the same problem on Linux. I type but nothing shows up. After reading this, I tried carefully typing in my chosen kingdom name, and it allowed me to create it and start playing. Rather disconcerting.

Disconcerting that nothing shows up in the text box, but it actually is taking my keypresses.

Oh, I guess I should admit that I'm running on Fedora.
