I confirm I have the same issue after the latest update. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the game but the issue persist. Prior to the update the game was running well.

Same issue on Xorg (i3-gaps-next) and wayland (sway), also tried different Proton versions including ones without fshack.

Cursor position seems to be the only input that's working and even that doesn't always work. I was able to get spawned in a scenario and I couldn't move at all or shoot. Also pressing buttons at startup would normally skip the intro video but that doesn't work.

Still encountering the same issue here. Present on every version of Proton, running Arch with xorg.

This bug only effects a recent version of Kovaaks and does not exist if you go to the games properties and choose and choose the older version in the betas. It does still exist using the public beta.

According to the Kovaaks discord, this bug also effects Windows 7 users, but not Windows 10. There is currently no fix for Windows 7 users either, besides rolling back the version.

It seems like this is still happening as of KovaaK's version 2.8.2 (released about 17 hours prior to this comment if Steam is to be trusted). Funnily enough there seems to be precisely one input that works when loaded up in a scenario with any of the affected game versions: the right analog stick of a game pad type controller (Dualshock 4 in my case).

Issue still persists on my Arch/Xorg system, I am only able to hover on UI elements.

Game now launches since they removed their anti-cheat.

But same problem here on Arch/Wayland, even on beta 3.2.0. I can hover hover on UI elements but clicks don't register.

KovaaKs works perfectly with Proton 8.

Works fine here as well with Proton 8.

The game is unable to recognize refresh rates above 60 hz. Most of the time this is fine, as the game just runs above it anyways, but every once in a while it'll get stuck at 60 until display settings are changed.

Nothing extracted yet.
