I'm having a problem with running this game in Linux (using Lutris), but it's a very specific problem: everything works great, EXCEPT that the following keys do nothing: A, S, Space, Enter. And I cannot for the life of me think of why ONLY those 4 keys don't work.

I've tried fresh install from the GOG download, I've tried with the Grayface patch, and I've even tried sourcing a direct copy of the old discs (both fresh and with Grayface). It's ALWAYS the same 4 keys that don't work.

Anyone have any idea?

So it turns out it was just a runner problem. I've been using mostly proton based runners lately, but running down the list of available runners, I found that "lutris-fshack-6.21-6-x86_64" runner sorts out the problem completely!

Thank you, @yuritau. I was having a similar problem with my game. everything worked except for the button to enable turn based combat. remapping wouldn't work either. except the resolution for me was to switch to lutris-7.2-2x86_64.

Thank you again!

Had this exact problem too except also the X key. Thanks for the solution.

I don't understand how anything could cause this... those are very specific keys that all do actions in game but clicking to interact still works. Really weird.
