Input problems when Dota is opened

r3pek commented 6 years ago

Ok, I really can't pinpoint the cause of this but I know it comes from Dota itself.

Whenever I open up Dota, the input system goes crazy missing keystrokes or mouse presses. I tested this while having Dota opened an with "xev" to test simple mouse clicks. Totally confirmed because sometimes it just misses a "ButtonRelease" or "ButtonPress" event. The keyboard it's easily confirmed with the in-game chat that while writting the text, it sometimes misses a few keys.

Rest assured, all the HW is fine and works perfectly fine with dota closed.

Hello @r3pek, can you take a look at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1342#issuecomment-343702279 and see if that applies to your system as well?

@kisak-valve I'll check it later today. The symptoms are the same, but I already have version 1.9.3 installed, so it should be fixed. I'll try downgrading into 1.8.x.

Can you also post configuration info?

OK, after a little testing, I had version 1.9.3 as I said, and that version shouldn't had the problem. Still, I reverted back to 1.8.3 and the symptoms are a little different. Instead of missing MouseReleases, I miss mouse presses entirely, not even printing anything while "cat /dev/input/inputX". If I close Dota, everything works like a charm.
