[SM][MENU][CONTROLERS]Can't look around in shootmania

Post by davidknag »

I have a pretty standard laser mouse, and I've been able to look around in SM before, but I stopped playing for a good bit and I recently tried to pick it up again, however, in shootmania, I can't look around at all. I can navigate the menus with my mouse, but I just can't aim, jump or shoot with my mouse.

No I'm not pressing alt, which releases the mouse.

I have tried deleting my config folder and also restoring all bindings to default.

ALSO: when my logitech f310 is plugged in, I can't move in SM either.

Can there be some sort of conflict with another peripheral?

All that I have connected is my keyboard and mouse. The controller gets unplugged before I start SM because I know it causes problems. To further clarify, I can view things in freecam just fine, and tm has no issues for me.

There are some major flaws in the input system that you have set in place. For example, here are some things that I have noticed:

*Obviously something is wrong with the first-person pointing with the mouse. It's really breaking the game that I payed for. I don't think it's me because the game can interpet my mouse input in any other context.
*It is impossible to open a title with just a controller. Intervention with the mouse is required.
*When an NVIDIA shield is connected and gamestream is running, it is impossible to open a title completely, even if you use the mouse. (Might not be the fault of nadeo, but I've never seen anything like it)
*It is impossible to bind things to any part of the d-pad. I've worked with the joystick drivers, and I understand that the d-pad isn't broken down into single buttons like a/b/x/y/start/select/bumpers/etc are, but it shouldn't be hard to learn and implement.

Here is my DxDiag, which includes information on my input devices: http://in4.us/qJdOQ&f

I do really appreciate the engagement that NADEO has with its community. It's fantastic to see developers who care. Trackmania Stadium is by far my most played game, I really can't get enough of it. Thanks for doing what you do best.

Are you using the default settings? Did you try to reinitialize the default settings?

Woah I just tried disabling the steam ui, nothing happened there, but as I was messing around, I noticed i could move my aim around a little by holding alt, flinging my mouse in one direction, and releasing as it is moving. That might help with debugging, showing that it moves for an instant then stops. Perhaps something wrong with a loop?

I'm sad that this is getting buried, I have a problem that effects me, and I pointed out some pretty notable flaws.
