Since yesterday, I’m encountering some weird double click bug. Everything I left click on is now doubleclicked (selling, equipping, etc) and my right click works as single left click (I dont get the menu to drop items which is very bad when overloaded and get surprised). I found this on reddit and was tempted to make an account but I resisted. https://old.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1bai0xp/weird_double_click_mouse_bug/
Can anyone tell me what the issue is? Playing on debian 12 stable + kde on X11, Nvidia, no changes to the game previous to the bug. But there are regular updates still for it.
Thanks in advance!

How old is your mouse?
Cause sudden random double clicking on your main mouse button every time you click is the classic example of a mouse switch wearing out.
I had the same thing happen once, only one game was sensitive enough to pick up the double clicking consistently, which made me adamant that something just started going wrong with the game… and was resolved when I tested another mouse just to shut people up.
The mouse reliably double clicks in stalker every time and nowhere else. Its statistically unlikely that this has any other cause than the game, either through the game itself or steam stuff.

🤔
Ah! Okay. Then I‘ll try it. That would be the most brutal thing as I have used a cheapo logitech mouse for 10 yrs without issue and have this deathadder for maybe a year.
But how do you explain that i cant use rightclick anymore? Maybe I should also try unplugging it.
There’s been an update on the reddit post:
I changed the compatability of Stalker to 8.0-5 and the double click issue is gone!
Thanks for the update! I had to change the proton version on cyberpunk as well to get it going. Some regression in steam I guess.
Oh no.
Maybe mouse switch wear?Maybe a year and its a deathadder v2 so I dont think thats the issue. nothing lese double clicks, just stalker
Have you tried changing display mode from windowed to full screen and vice versa, turning off vsync, if your running the game through steam then verifying game files may also work, if not through steam then downloading fresh a copy…
I had an awful time with computer issues last month, all guis using electron were unreadable, some kind of render issue, I did some trouble shooting and found one of the BIOS chips on my GPU had gone bad and basically spent the next few days trying to repair a GPU, the GPU wasn’t the issue just bad timing. On a whim I span up a live disc of arch installed similar packages of my main os and found the issue was gone. Wayland was currpt
Anyway if possible and above options dont resolve your issue maybe spinning up an a live os and running stalker could render different or same results.
It would be good to attach another mouse and see if there’s an issue with your mouse
So I just started playing this and I can’t say I’ve had this issue, however I only played for a few hours so far. I’m playing on Arch, no DE just i3wm, Nvidia, X11. Another thing I can think of is that I’m using the Zone Reclaimation Project mod, which is a fan-made mod which has a load of bug-fixes. I don’t believe it changes any gameplay, so it is good for a first-time playthrough. I have no idea if this will change anything, but I have been using it so far and haven’t had any problems, so maybe you could try it? Sorry I don’t have a definite solution for you.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely check out mods at some point. :)
