Mouse clicking is not an immediate response

I have the very same issue. Also a Mac version.

Does this happen in the menus, in game, or both?

Happens in both the menu and in-game.

Both in game and in menu for me as well.

Doesn't look like its gonna be fixed. I returned the game. Such a shame as it's gotten a lot of dlc and updates and now has multiplayer. Oh well... There's other games out there that actually work for everyone.

Dear developers,

this bug has been reported from 5 different people on this forum since Christmas. Could you at least acknoledge this bug or just say to us '**** you! We don't care about you!' and we will move on (meaning returning the game). We paid for this game and it does not work!

I'd like to know if anyone is looking into this.

Thank you

Sorry for the lack of response.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in the office, but we don't have a huge range of macs to test on.

@NickEnjee @Hologos

Could you guys please press backspace on the main menu and tell me what the FPS says on the top right of the screen?

Next, if you could please capture a profile and upload here it might help me identify the issue.

While in the main menu, wait at least 10 seconds then put the following into the console (press ~)

TheSim:Profile(1)

During the following 1 second, mouse over a button in the UI and click the left mouse button fast enough for it to not register. The more times you can do this during the capture the better. If it does register the left click then please do a new profile capture.

This will create a "profile.json" file in your save directory (Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether). Please attach this to the bug report.

Thanks.

Update: I tried playing an older version (from 2013) and here the mouse click is instantaneous. No lag whatsoever. Maybe something to do with the latest hot fixes???

I played the game 2/3 months ago (more or less) and I cannot remember anything strange around that time. I hope there will be a solution soon. I play the game when I am onboard a ship without an internet connection. I will be unable to download an update for example. 

Same problem here, it is so difficult to play with the left click having such slow response. And it is March now.

Dear developers, please fix this bug!!!

Hi, no one responded to my previous post so I was unable to look any further into the issue. If you could read through my post above and provide the info then I can continue to investigate.

Hi, this is Felix. I had the same problem and my fps is 58.23. the profile is attached. Hope there is a solution ASAP

Can you confirm the following:
- To register mouse clicks, you have to hold down the mouse button for an uncomfortable amount of time
- You are running on a Mac
- There are no other controllers plugged into your computer

Next, could you preform the following test for me?
Shutdown DST if it is running
In your steam library, right click on DST, select properties, Local Files, Browse Local Files...
Navigate into data/scripts
Save the attached frontend.lia file to this location (overwrite the existing file)
Run DST:
- Preform a "too fast" click on the play! button (ensure you are still on the same menu screen)
- Preform a second "too fast" click on the play! button (ensure you are still on the same menu screen)
- Preform a "slow enough" click on the play! button (ensure you have now go to the login screen and then to the main menu)
- * *If any of these steps failed then please shut down DST before trying again*
- Exit DST
- Go to the DST save directory (in windows its \Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether, I'm not sure if its the same Mac)
- Find the file client_log.txt and attach it to this report (the change to frontend.lua has extra logging added to it which should help narrow down the source of the issue)

frontend.lua

 

As a second test, on the main menu, could you press the enter key as fast as you can and see if it has the same behaviour as the mouse click? (I don't need a log file for this)

I and my girlfriend both have the same problem. But the version is the original rather than together, and no DLC. 

OS: OS X Sierra

Both Macbook Air 2014 version. Mine is 8 gb memory, and my gf's is 4 gb memory.

Bought from steam 2 or 3 weeks ago. We shared the same purchase on steam (family sharing)

My gf found the issue just after buying the game. Initially it seemed normal on my laptop, but yesterday the issue suddenly came up and seemed even severer than my gf's. I need to click harder or click and hold for like 0.1s to get response.

I tried using the same mouse on my and my gf's computer, and I am pretty sure that mine is severer than hers. On my computer I am able to consistently fast click the mouse however getting no response, but on hers, I did try to click as fast as possible but I still got some response after around 7-8 clicks each time.

Also happens both in game and the menu. Same issue even I use trackpad.

I also noticed the right click is ok. I used right click to examine some items and the character reacted immediate after I normally right clicked the mouse.

Fast clicking keyboard doesn't produce this issue. 

@ScottHansen  I tried to create those files you required, but it didn't work in the original version. Could you please give me some instruction to create those files in the original one? 

 

Edit: I registered a new steam account, and shared the game via steam family sharing from my gf's account (I did this for my previous account), so the game is completely new and I found the issue never happened!!!

I tried to copy my saved game files from my old account (~Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<steam account ID>/<app ID (219740 for DS)>), and pasted them to my new account, and I found the game is working pretty well without any mouse issue. 

Also, when I logged back to my previous account, the issue fixed!!! But I am 100% sure that last time I reinstalled the game by deleting the game and steam and all the data stored in /Application Support/Steam, and reinstalled the game just like what I did this time, the issue still came up.

Hi, the file is attached. And the enter key reacts pretty fast, not like the mouse click. 

client_log.txt

And also one thing i found out that when i am using the macbook to play the game. You know that you can click something either press the trackpad hard or just a touch on the trackpad. the menu button only reacts to the trackpad only when you actually pressed it down.

Thank you very much for the update. Knowing the issue comes and goes helps, a little, its good information have.

If the issue reappears for you, I wont need you do run with the modified script file, as gao228 did and I got the expected data from it.

Thanks for the log file. It confirms I am looking in the right direction and now I have a solid lead on the source of the issue.

no longer require extra questions answered

Update: The fix is being worked on for both DS and DST both Mac, Linux, and PC (PC is extremely hard to repro but it can happen)

A fixed has been done for DST. It will go out to DS later this week or early next week.

And the single player fix went out on the 4th.

 

It was the Magnet application.
