Having issues left-clicking on Linux? Read here.
The Solution
Сrеdit gоеs to !
If you’re having issues where you can’t left-click to interact with items (e.g, use the walkie-talkie, toggle a flash light, swing a stop-sign).
What fixed it for me was disconnecting all controllers.
For what it’s worth, I’m playing on Linux, but NOT on a Steam Deck. I know with a Steam Deck you can’t exactly disconnect the controller, so this may only be useful for those playing on other Linux systems, or if it also occurs on Windows (I’m not sure if it does or not).
As soon as I disconnected my controller, left click worked perfectly. Reconnecting it again, left click was broken.
Hope this helps anyone who was getting frustrated by the same issue.
It might have Auto-Switch controls within it’s commands.
