This has been one of my favourite games. On my previous tablet PC, running Windows 7, Cultist Simulator worked wonderfully, despite having a lower resolution than was required. I achieved Change:Balance and Threshold victories on that machine and game version (albeit not without taking advantage of the bird/worm setting).
Sadly that machine was stolen last fall. I've replaced it with a newer tablet that runs Windows 11, and re-downloaded the game - it seems there have been heaps of updates since then - and now it's nigh unplayable.
Tapping the screen with my finger doesn't "click" on anything, it treats a tap like a hover, so you can't even start or quit!
I can click on things if I use the stylus, but... not reliably. It treats the slightest movement when clicking as a drag instead of a click. And, I'm having the problem others are reporting where when you drag a card, particularly near the edges of the board, the card moves radically and wants to go to some offset place.
With these two issues combined, I am constantly having cards and verbs fling themselves across the table: I try to click on a card or verb, the game treats it as a drag-and-release, because of the offset it tries to drop the card or verb in a different location, and if there's something else in that location, it decides to send it to who-knows-where.
I have tried telling windows to "Let my use my pen as a mouse when it's available," and increasing the drag threshold in the Registry, to no avail.
I'm also having some issue where different types of cards are stacking on top of each other, which never happened in the previous version of the game.
I've read that there is a beta branch that reverts to the older version of the UI, and I would like to try that or just an older version of the game - if I could at least solve the offset issue, at least when the game drags when I want it to click it shouldn't fling the card somewhere - but I don't see a link or option for them anywhere.
