You must play in windowed mode for the mouse to work outside UFOAI. It has something to do with part of the game engine. If you try to alt-tab out of the full screen, you can't use the mouse.

At this stage there is nothing that can be done about that. There will undoubtedly be a fix sometime in the future, but it is not going to be very soon, if I've read the relevant comments correctly.

  • when i go on the desktop during playing, my usb-mouse freeces on the left upper corner and i can do nothing.

upper-left corner of the game window?

Some joysticks/keypads or other controllers may confuse the game. You could try running the game with +set in_joystick 0 parameter (you can modify the shortcut on it's property page)

Not going to do anything. I just tested that.

The issue is related to the SDL. See this tracker item (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3080423&group_id=157793&atid=805242) for more information. There's also another forum thread (http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=5445.0), but as far as I'm concerned, that's written in hieroglyphs since I'm no coder.

as edi said ... no problem in window-mode

so my greatest problem is, that touch and pen doesnt work.
with this working, it would be THE game for slates *bg*

fixed

Recompiled SDL using the last revision related to 1.2.14 which is 5500
Linking against this new SDL solves that problem

New (Muton) win32 installer will use this SDL revision!

Linux && MAC:
Just get SDL recompile and your done
Troubled getting the source?
