Hi.
I'm coming in here because this is an issue I keep randomly having, have brought up before, and I'm over it. This time around, I've found multiple people complaining about the same issue to little response dating all the way back to 2014. Some from Reddit, some from Steam: This is a glitch that makes the game unplayable, as confirmed by multiple people, and it's still impossible to find a solution for it.
Randomly, Don't Starve will start acting like I'm clicking the mouse as soon as I open the game. In the main menu, I have to click on things twice to get them to register because it thinks I'm holding it down already. The character follows my mouse no matter where I point it and will randomly drop items if I grab them, or continue to add wood without stopping for example. This killed me on my newest run yesterday because it made me drop a torch. I cannot stress enough that I have no idea what's causing this and therefore cannot replicate it. I started a new run Sunday, worked fine, then opened it Monday to the glitch. In the past when this happened, I didn't fix it. It would just randomly stop and go back to normal.
I do not have anything attached to my laptop besides my mouse. The trackpad is permanently disabled. No controllers, no keyboard.
Things I have already tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling
Restarting my laptop
Checking integrity of files
Disabled mods
Resetting to default settings
Unplugged mouse, plugged it back in
It's actually really disappointing that this has been reported for years to little fanfare. I basically can't play this game until it fixes itself. If anyone is out there who's experienced this glitch as well PLEASE comment! Especially if you have advice!
Also, please do not suggest 'just use the keyboard'. i am disabled and only use the mouse--there is no other option.
Thank you!
