Cant stop moving North when spawning.

[wisey01]

Hey,

I recently installed the stable 0.9 version onto my laptop running Windows 7. Upon spawning in the console starts logging "unknown command" errors, and forces the character to move north.

Any ideas?

Huh, are you sure it isn't a problem with your computer in particular?

[wisey01]

if it is, it isnt showing up in any other program, including other ASCII games like DF....

I'd guess something to do with mouse support.

[wisey01]

I thought that too, so i booted it up with the mouse unplugged , and the touchpad turned off, but same issue

What console, graphical or curses version, are you using a localization (either game or OS), have you changed any keybindings, and is your keyboard a normal US keyboard or something else?

[wisey01]

I have tried both the stable and experimental builds from the website (http://en.cataclysmdda.com/), vanilla as they are downloaded.

I have however noticed this in the log:

You have more than one gamepads/joysticks plugged in, only the first will be used.
mod_ui initialized

But I can't for the life of me think what the other input device would be....

Yeah that sounds like that could definitely be causing the problem. For some reason either the game (or your computer) thinks that you have something constantly issuing that command.

Kinda dumb question, but have you tried restarting your computer since this problem happened? It's possible that you could have plugged in a joystick or something similar and your computer just didn't disconnect it correctly when it was unplugged.

Yeah, tried that, tried booting without a mouse plugged in. Such a pain in the ass.

Pretty sure this is a malfunctioning joystick driver. We should have an option to disable joystick input.
This isn't the first time this has come up either.
