[1.0.2-rc1] Can't use IME in fullscreen mode

[bright moth]

I wan't to save my blueprint with a Chinese file name, however none of my input method work when displaying in fullscreen mode. When using Sogou Input Method, the game displayed upon the input method so I can't see the candidate word. When using Wechat Input Method, the game detected the input method and minimized automatically. Only in windowed mode could IME work properly

[1.0.2-rc1] Can't use IME in fullscreen mode

1. [SPZ2-2587] — 👀 52% similar

Game minimizes when going out of focus in full screen (DX12)
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

shapez 2 minimizes when losing focus in exclusive fullscreen mode on DX12. The issue occurs when using the Windows key or alt-tabbing out of the game, but does not happen in borderless or windowed modes. Unity's implementation always minimizes when focus is lost in exclusive fullscreen, making QA testing difficult as Windows screenshot tools also trigger minimization. The behavior is inconsistent and may be related to swapchain resizing. Testing shows the issue persists on both DX11 and DX12 ...

No asian characters can be written on labels
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

Labels / Text Labels / Signs in shapez 2 do not accept or display Asian characters from Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages. This occurs when attempting to paste or type these characters onto a Label / Text Label / Sign placed in Classic Mode / Classic / Default Mode / Regular Mode. The issue affects players using Asian language settings and prevents proper labeling with non-Latin scripts. Expected behavior would be for Labels / Text Labels / Signs to support Unicode characters including A...

The report was marked as "won't fix" by the development team.

black screen appears on the screen as game loses focus after giving input to the second monitor
Done • Priority: Low • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Game: 19.12.2023 • Resolution: Done

When running shapez 2 in fullscreen mode on a dual monitor setup with the game on the secondary monitor, moving the Cursor to or interacting with the second monitor causes an unnecessary black screen to appear and the game loses focus. This issue consistently occurs and disrupts the player experience. The expected behavior is that the game should maintain focus without displaying the black screen when interacting with the second monitor. The issue is caused by using windowed fullscreen with V...

Hey Jim! It makes sense that Fullscreen mode will end up minimizing the game when focusing on another tab or program. Does this also occur if you use the Borderless window mode?

No，both IME are OK with Borderless window mode

✅ Thank you for providing further information, our team will have a look again!

[orchid blaze]

Thank you for confirming that! Due to it being a second program Fullscreen mode will minimize the game, which is how Unity manages the display option. I'd suggest keep playing in Borderless mode so that you can comfortable use Sogou with the second application
