You're right, I can't do it either. Console controls are showing up for me as well. I tried mashing some buttons but that didn't do anything either.

That's kind of a relief, thanks! I can stop fiddling with it now.

I wonder if it's possible to win the game anyway? Combat seems manageable, and I have a couple of seemingly important skills that are automatically granted. Still, I'm doubtful.

Hopefully, FireFlower will get a working version from Deck13.

Yeah, this is kind of lame. I wonder if we'll get a refund if they don't manage to sort it out. :P

Edit: You're right about that one dev responding on Steam. Contacting them if things don't work out might indeed be a good option as well.

FearfulSymmetry beat me to it, but I can also confirm that it's impossible to confirm a skill's selection from a combat trainer with the mouse+keyboard scheme, but it works fine with a gamepad.

FireFlower Games do have a return policy:

Return Policy

FireFlower Games return period is 14 days in accordance with the Swedish law of distans- och hemförsäljningslagen (2005:59).

A sale is considered final 14 days after purchase, or when you make a download attempt for a game or its bonus content.

However, if there’s a major technical issue with a product that prevents you from running it you can return it within 30 days and get a refund.

Well, I do consider not being able to play the game as intended with keyboard+mouse as a major technical issue.

Thanks for confirming, Grargar.

I'll speak up when I hear back from FireFlower. I've already directed them (him?) to this thread, and he seems pretty responsive, so my fingers are crossed.

edit:
I found the other interface element that flickers between console and mouse-style icons, but still works: When you trade stacks of items, the select-a-quantity dialog behaves strangely.

Like i've mentioned before: never encountered those bugs in the english retail with patch 1.02. Which means that they were introduced in the 1.03 version of the patch.

That means that i will stay on the modded 1.02 version on my next replay.

I think this might be a specific issue to the FireFlower version, as the Steam version doesn't seem to be suffering from it.

Will you let us know if you hear back from FireFlower?

Certainly. I'll do better than that.

You four were super helpful, so I'll give away a FlatOut2 (my favorite) GOG key here. I entered your usernames into random.org and got: I'll PM you four in the above order. If the first person already has it or isn't interested, it will pass to the next, etc.

Thanks again, bunch.

Thanks for this thread grimwerk. I grabbed it during this sale, but I'm on the road away from my computers and installers so can't test it myself, but sounds like further testing is not required.

Thanks for forwarding to fireflower and thanks to fireflower for forwarding to the devs. Look forward to hearing more about a resolution. :)

I've heard from FireFlower, and he says that a new version will be up tomorrow. Excellent. He'll let me know when it's available for download. I'll post an update as soon as I hear.

If someone else gets the news before I do, feel free to shout it here.

You picked a good time to be on the road, budejovice! Hopefully all will be smooth when you return.

Great! Thanks for the good news, grimwerk!

Nice to get some fixing done. Soooo, the burning question is if they will ever bring it on GOG...:)
