Help!!! I cant control and interact on the GameWorld[Solved]

Postby houtarou14 » Wed Nov 25, 2015 12:51 am

Hello guys..
I have a bit of a problem here. I cant seem to interact on the gameworld :| . Here are the things I can do still and what I can't do,
"I have done everything that I could to fix it myself but to no avail. I reinstalled Salem, tried every custom client out there AKA Enders and Latikai including the defualt client, I have reinstalled Java and updated it a dozen of times starting from a clean uninstall but still nothing. I even changed my freakin mouse :roll:


*Note* This has been tested in all clients and the default one
°I can click on the GUI no problem there. Skills and stuff
°I can click on the Options and adjust stuff
°I can click on my Items and inventory
°I can chat no problem
°I can click on the "Lick Boards" Option on my inventory, well if that's the only thing left to do. :?

°I cant click storage,bed,The damn brown floor of my house which I'm quite familiar with the damn pattern now,decorations AKA Woodcarvings, Hunting Trophy and the Damn door that leads freedom :?
Well Basically, I'm no longer part of the living cells on the game and now just a phantom lurking inside my house bound by eternal promise of memorizing the damn floor patterns..
I hope you can help me out here guys ....Thank you~



I'm using: Windows 7 (64bit) , 8G Ram Desktop

Is it possible someone placed a claim over your area and now you cannot do anything because you don't have crimes enabled for trespassing?

Humn... not sure but I'm pretty sure I live in a Town and I think its impossible not knowing it none the less. Also it would have been strange if they raided the Town I lived in and not destroyed my Claim Stone. I tried with my alt on prov and also the same thing I can walk using WSAD keyboard keys but not with the mouse and I cant click on stuff there which pretty much conclude that your theory might be fundamentally wrong but Thanks. I didn't think I would get a quick response on my problem here :D. Its been 4 days now... I didn't report it the other days cause it was blood moon so I didn't really bother doing so, thinking it was just some kind of patch bug the would be fixed later x_X

Simple things first: Have you tried another mouse? ;)

Another simple thing: Create a new char and see if it works there. Please try this, takes only a few seconds and will tell us a few things.

[edit:] I assume left and right mouse buttons work with stuff in your inventory, right?

Could it be you are stuck in your bed or stuck in any other thing?

[edit2:] It might be the case that one of a certain few keys is stuck, that would include CTRL, ALT, SHIFT,... holding some of them would prevent movement with the mouse, though would afaik not prevent rightclick interaction with objects that have a context menu. The key(s) might be physically stuck, or "held" by your OS or other tools, repeatedly hitting certain keys in windows pops up a certain menu with options like that, depending on how it is configured, it may as well just "lock" the key instead of bringing up the menu. A broken keyboard may account for that, too, but is highly unlikely.

[edit3:] Besides that, you may want to contact someone of your town to verify that there is no pclaim on your house, or if there is, that you have the necessary rights, though this again would be rather obvious, if you already are on a foreign claim, then iirc you can still move, but rightclicking anything would bring up a message that it does not belong to you, I highly assume you would have noticed that, but just to be sure, check that too.

Thank for the response, Yeah I made sure that there nothing there, No TBF or a new bell or something just my own PClaim inside the Town Claim itself. "had done confirming just now using a friends account". Though with his account to I'm still not able to make a move using my mouse or interact with worldly objects and I also mentioned not being able to interact barrels and stuff on providence. I have changed my Mouse as I mentioned above, its also unlikely to be the keyboard for its new one I bought just recently. If nothing else would come to a solid fix perhaps I will just reformat the PC itself and see if that works although I'm still unsure of this fact and this might be just another bug that can be fixed "which im hoping it is". Formatting would be my last resort for I don't really want to do it, making backup for stuff inside this computer would be a huge task and also this is used for some projects on my school and not mine alone also some "Hidden Stuff" ahemm... :lol:

Before you format or reinstall anything, go to this page, or google "sticky keys".

Also, if its anyhow possible, try another keyboard at least once, takes probably only a minute and at least makes sure that this is not the problem.

I was having a similar issue on and off yesterday. I thought it was just lag. I would be in Salem on my homestead and I could move stuff around in my backpack but I couldn't click on anything at all in my inventory. When I tried to move after closing my inventory, I couldn't move. I could just stand...chat... and move around stuff in the bookbag. Eventually it stopped and I was fine.

check that your color depth is set to 32 bits: on mac there are some issues because of programs setting the color depth to 24 bits leading to collision-problems inside OpenGL.
Are you able to control your character using WASD? (i.e. it's not just the view not updating?).
Make sure if you have both backpack and inventory open that leftclicking on an item picks it up on the cursor (this checks that you do not have any modifier buttons active - modifier buttons such as alt shift ctrl are shared between the UI and the game world).

Wow, that's weird; sounds more like a server brainfart.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.
