Hi All,

I have got a problem playing Shadowrun Returns on Linux (Mint 20 with Mate and installed using this thread: playit_install_the_shadowrun_games_on_linux). I have just started the game and have spoken to Mrs. Kubota about Coyote and she gives me a key. However once the dialogue finishes I can't move or click on anything. I can move the camera about, but clicking to move my character or to bring up the menu does nothing.

I ran the game from the terminal in-case it was showing any errors but nothing appeared. It is like the game is no longer accepting mouse input. All I can do is [ALT]+[F4] out of the game and back to the desktop.

I don't know what else to do, I have been enjoying the game but this is a total show stopper as I literally can't do anything but look about the Seamstresses Union :(

Has anyone had the problem? Did you resolve it?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I was having the same problem but almost at the beginning of game after accepting the offer. Actually the screen goes black, and nothing happens until I press Escape, and it shows the dialog still there with nothing to press, and PDA screen can appear on and off when I click Escape key, but won't respond to any other inputs.

I eventually solved it by starting the game from command-line, but in a different directory than the game directory ('%' is just a prompt so don't type it, and ShadowrunReturnsGamePath should be replaced with the directory path you installed the game in):

% cd ~
% /ShadowrunReturnsGamePath/game/Shadowrun -logfile output.log
