Receiver ignoring keyboard and mouse input

Post by Sporktrooper » Mon Jun 18, 2012 5:08 pm

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but I didn't see a support forum anywhere.

I'm having an issue with Receiver. When I start the game, it doesn't respond to any keyboard input or mouse movement. It *does* respond to mouse button input. I went into the keybinds to make sure I hadn't broken anything, and when I tried rebinding I would just get an error noise from Windows when I pressed a key, but I could bind the mouse buttons to various things.
I thought it might have been a Unity player issue so I re-installed the player, no change. I normally don't have any issues with Unity games, so I'm kind of at a loss. I *can* play the game on my laptop, and it's incredibly fun, but if I could play it on my desktop it would make me happier (and no I have no intentions of asking for a refund).

One thing that may be pertinent: I have three monitors, but I was running the game in windowed mode (fullscreen mode has the same issue). I mention this because the log says it failed to initialize two displays.

This appears to be a bug in Unity itself. There is a fix described here: http://www.ludocraft.com/forums/showthread.php?292 , which one person confirmed works for him for Receiver.

Paste of the fix from the forum thread linked above:
The issue is caused by Unity input bug mentioned here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/132508 ... led-urgent

To fix the issue:
1) Download http://forum.unity3d.com/attachment.php ... 1335782318
2) Run ONLY RemoveUnityDirectInput.reg, not the other file!
