Edit: Solution was just switching to Proton 9.
This is a weird one involving many moving parts, so I’m looking for some pointers on where I can even start trouble-shooting:
- When I open My Summer Car (on Steam) in fullscreen mode, the keyboard doesn’t work in game.
- When I start it in windowed mode, it works normally.
- When I then select full screen in the window menu, it works partially (some buttons in game don’t react).
- Other games I tested have no issue.
- It works fine on Debian, but the issue is present on more bleeding edge distros (tested Arch, Endeavor and Bazzite)
- Flatpak or native Steam makes no difference
- Only tested KDE Plasma with Wayland
My best guess is that the issue is related to Wayland somehow, and that the game doesn’t mesh with the newer Plasma version, but I’d love to know if there’s a way to troubleshoot or work around this.
Thanks in advance!
If it has a borderless windowed option, does it produce the same problems?
That’s a really strange one, and I have to wonder how the devs programmed it. Games sometimes don’t detect my keyboard layout correctly (I use Colemak), but I can’t recall a time where the keyboard wasn’t recognized at all.
No, it doesn’t have that option.
I’m cutting the dev a lot of slack here. He made the game all by himself.
The fix was as easy as switching to a Proton version closer to the game’s release date.
