Original Post — Direct link

I am using Logitech mouse and software, which has experienced similar things in other games before. But whenever I click on something, the game interprets it as two clicks. So like I dig some dirt and it will then immediately think I'm trying to dig a second dirt pile and print a message. And this happens for everything, placing down a block places two. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

I've been using Logitech peripherals for more than ten years and that was a constant issue with their mice I got after typically about half a year, them starting to double click on a single click. There is nothing I could ever find to fix that, the switches just seem to break quickly with heavy usage. Internet has tons of posts on it (including on reddit). Their latest G502 X Plus so far didn't cause it for me, but that has the new optical switches for the main buttons.

I'm not sure this reddit will be the right place in case it is that issue. I got more than 6 replacement mice from them as they broke after half a year again until they released the one with optical switches and I got that.

From our side we're not aware of anything causing consistent double action problems, at least.

I found I had it double clicking on every server I played except the previous one (AWL gaming?) so I suspect it is on the Eco side, and some mod somewhere fixed it for AWL.

I don't get the double clicking issue on any other game or anywhere else on my computer. I'm not holding the button down for the entire animation swing, and I don't think I'm a particularly slow clicker (I did experiment for an afternoon with trying to click faster, couldn't stop the double click.)

I dunno, the fact that one modded server fixed it, and I've had the issue on 4 other servers, including a vanilla one, seems like it's not just me and this other user having broken mice.

Modifications shouldn't be able to change client behaviour, especially not how clicks work. What you may instead have experienced is simple server lag. How is it on a local server?

I never had any double clicking issues with a functioning mouse to begin with, but given Logitech was mentioned here and it later came out they're using unsupported drivers that wasn't a far stretch either. It seemingly neither is a common issue, which makes a bug rather unlikely. And if it was, we'd need working steps to reproduce, as I'm not able to get this behaviour myself by just playing. Neither locally nor on most laggy White Tiger - and also with a Logitech mouse. (And my local server has no mods while WT has at least no mods that could influence this)

After thinking about it a bit and around the edge, what could be the case is that you are actually experiencing the rare and so far non-reproducible double avatar issue: https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/issues/24772

Check if you have a doubled avatar via TPV, if so, your logfiles added to that issue would be helpful and also checking if the steps a user on steam provided and which I copied into that issue resolve the problem for you.

Yes I did in fact have this issue occasionally, but not 100% of the time.

That issue would cause this behaviour, so try the registry fix, maybe it helps for whatever else you're experiencing.

I have this exact issue on my dedicate server my players all are fine on the server but me as admin its doubling my avatar.

Can you send me the savegame where you had that issue and your exact ingame name? Send to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or add to that issue. (We need .eco and .db file)

So are there client files in appdata/strangeloopgames you want to see from my clients maybe?

I guess one thing of note is I'm able to join my server direct over Lan as well as via NAT loopback but I did test disabling the lan connection to the server and just connecting didn't make a difference fresh install and joining puts that in my registry.

Now knowing little of how this is working I suspect/guessing it has to do with the avatar system I did join a server that was late game with my avatar and did equip a pile of clothing backpacks etc. and I never changed the avatar when I setup my own server (I like how I look and didn't want to change it) is it possible something is stored local from that first server on my avatar that's putting this entry into the registry so when I join a fresh world with the same avatar its doing this?

No, just the savegame, game.eco and game.db.

Thanks, mail was received. We just need this for diagnosis, so I can't yet tell you what is going on to your latest post asking for that. It is clear that the client setting is not the only factor, as we don't get it. We try to see if we can get it if we pretend we are exactly your player on exactly your server with exactly your registry. (And if not, we'll call Merlin to help, as that'll be magic)
