As per title, I was trying to play this game but for some reason it doesn't register ANY mouse button inputs (not in the key rebinding menu, nor in game).

Tried installing via .exe, via Lutris "script" (? idk how to call it exactly, but basically by letting Lutris manage everything? Usually it's made by users), tried several Wine/Proton versions, reinstalling, different USB ports. Nothing works lol I can only look around, so mouse is working. Just not registering button presses. Happens only in this game

Searched online and the only mouse issue other people have is with the sensitivity and not being able to use side buttons (M3, M4 etc).

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this, no mentions on the PCwiki either. Looked through logs and I didn't really see any errors.

Does anyone have pointers?

Thank you in advance!

Can you try installing it through Heroic? https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

I don't have F.E.A.R. 2 on GOG but I played it on Steam back when Proton was new and I didn't have any problems with mouse buttons. I did install the Mousefix mod though to remove mouse acceleration.

Same issue, I gave up. Must be some bug with my configuration since I can't find anything like it online. Oh well. Thanks though!
