Issues with ADS (RMB) and constantly firing (LMB) in Beta | Silica | Page 1

ADS/firing is constantly interrupted by moving the mouse to aim. It's also inconsistently interrupted by moving forwards with 'w', which is in the screen recording attached. It seems to be moving the mouse that stops me from ADS'ing or constantly firing. I've also noticed I cannot ADS and then constantly fire - the screen recording shows that it pulls me out of ADS to fire. Note: I never had these issues on my PC before the Beta, and I haven't changed anything to do with my PC since then (apart from OS updates).
PC Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. OS = Omarchy 3.1.5 (Arch Linux)

A thought on this: it could be Hyprland not detecting the mouse is still in the Silica window when I move my mouse, so it interrupts the RMB/LMB inputs?

Hello! This is the first time I hear of an issue like this. If you are using some 3rd party software that does some additional actions with the mouse, I would recommend trying to disable it to see if it is causing the issue. Additionally, I also recommend deleting all settings to see if that helps too:
C:\Users\YOUR USER\Documents\Silica\GameSettings.xml etc

Hi @fallow coral sorry for the delay in replying. I deleted the GameSetting file after reinstalling, but this still doesn't work in Beta only. It works fine on main branch, but not the Beta branch for some reason. Also not using any third-party software that'd affect the mouse. I'm on Omarchy Linux using Hyprland if that helps, thanks

The log doesn't show much other than you ran the game for 4 seconds, a example log of sandbox saves not working. try have the issue happen then upload the log, see if you can note the time the issue happens then look for the timestamp in the log for anything wrong.

just something i noted since this latest beta i have been getting selection boxs when i dont want them and its been affecting my gameplay slightly, i think its kinda in the same thing as your issue, maybe.

sturdy peak Dec 6, 2025, 1:48 AM

#

I think it's an input issue where it won't allow me to do two inputs at once. I can WASD, but as soon as I move my mouse I have the issue. Or, if i ADS then fire, it pulls me out of ADS and only allows me to fire until I move my mouse in any direction - the video shows this.

Dram do you need a different log?

Hmm can you please exactly follow these steps please?

Start the game
Go into strategy on say rift basin
Go into infantry
Try have the issue occur
When it does, please quit the game right there
Send the log here (game.log)

Tried it on Centauri & Sol and same issue happens.

#

Did you want a log of when it does work in main branch, so you can compare?

by any chance, do you have a controller plugged in?

sturdy peak Dec 12, 2025, 9:02 AM

#

No. I have a very basic setup, would it help to plug in a controller and upload a new log?

clever crag Dec 12, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

No, quite the opposite in fact. I was thinking that the controller might have been the problem, but since you dont have one plugged in, it isnt it.

sturdy peak Dec 12, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

aaah gotcha. Would these logs help to diagnose problems with things like Hyprland and OS interacting with the game window? I mean I could look at getting winetricks and seeing how it runs with that if it'd help narrow it down

Having a similar issue on my Steam Deck. If you go to aim, or fire an automatic weapon it works right up until you go to move your aim at which point it stops the action. It is also affecting the Commander mode as when i attempt to box select unit it is interrupted as soon as i go to move the mouse cursor.
Unfortunately being the technical nincompoop I am, I haven't the faintest clue on how to find the logs and post them. 😅

Toggle sights was and still is off.
I did try restoring default controls yesterday and there was no change in the issue, all control mapping i've done has been on the Steam deck's end instead of in the game settings.
