Since yesterday, I’m encountering some weird double click bug. Everything I left click on is now doubleclicked (selling, equipping, etc) and my right click works as single left click (I dont get the menu to drop items which is very bad when overloaded and get surprised). I found this on reddit and was tempted to make an account but I resisted. https://old.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1bai0xp/weird_double_click_mouse_bug/

Can anyone tell me what the issue is? Playing on debian 12 stable + kde on X11, Nvidia, no changes to the game previous to the bug. But there are regular updates still for it.

Thanks in advance!

    How old is your mouse?

    Cause sudden random double clicking on your main mouse button every time you click is the classic example of a mouse switch wearing out.

    I had the same thing happen once, only one game was sensitive enough to pick up the double clicking consistently, which made me adamant that something just started going wrong with the game… and was resolved when I tested another mouse just to shut people up.

      The mouse reliably double clicks in stalker every time and nowhere else. Its statistically unlikely that this has any other cause than the game, either through the game itself or steam stuff.

          Ah! Okay. Then I‘ll try it. That would be the most brutal thing as I have used a cheapo logitech mouse for 10 yrs without issue and have this deathadder for maybe a year.

          But how do you explain that i cant use rightclick anymore? Maybe I should also try unplugging it.
