Have you tried changing display mode from windowed to full screen and vice versa, turning off vsync, if your running the game through steam then verifying game files may also work, if not through steam then downloading fresh a copy…
I had an awful time with computer issues last month, all guis using electron were unreadable, some kind of render issue, I did some trouble shooting and found one of the BIOS chips on my GPU had gone bad and basically spent the next few days trying to repair a GPU, the GPU wasn’t the issue just bad timing. On a whim I span up a live disc of arch installed similar packages of my main os and found the issue was gone. Wayland was currpt
Anyway if possible and above options dont resolve your issue maybe spinning up an a live os and running stalker could render different or same results.
It would be good to attach another mouse and see if there’s an issue with your mouse
Cause sudden random double clicking on your main mouse button every time you click is the classic example of a mouse switch wearing out.
I had the same thing happen once, only one game was sensitive enough to pick up the double clicking consistently, which made me adamant that something just started going wrong with the game… and was resolved when I tested another mouse just to shut people up.
The mouse reliably double clicks in stalker every time and nowhere else. Its statistically unlikely that this has any other cause than the game, either through the game itself or steam stuff.

Ah! Okay. Then I‘ll try it. That would be the most brutal thing as I have used a cheapo logitech mouse for 10 yrs without issue and have this deathadder for maybe a year.
But how do you explain that i cant use rightclick anymore? Maybe I should also try unplugging it.
So I just started playing this and I can’t say I’ve had this issue, however I only played for a few hours so far. I’m playing on Arch, no DE just i3wm, Nvidia, X11. Another thing I can think of is that I’m using the Zone Reclaimation Project mod, which is a fan-made mod which has a load of bug-fixes. I don’t believe it changes any gameplay, so it is good for a first-time playthrough. I have no idea if this will change anything, but I have been using it so far and haven’t had any problems, so maybe you could try it? Sorry I don’t have a definite solution for you.
Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.11. Initial OpenGL support in the Wayland driver. Support for elevating process privileges. More HID pointer improvements. Various bug fixes.
Separate daemon & GUI processes… Permissions aware… Modular installation of modprobe config… It looks like the author understands the basics of designing a tool like this. Nice.
I have a couple of reservations from a security perspective, though:
The daemon and GUI are the same executable, which means a lot of complexity in the binary that runs in a privileged context. I would suggest splitting the daemon into a separate, minimal binary.
Wow I when you said 268 dependencies I figured JavaScript was involved…
Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days or is this developer just using an insane amount of dependencies? I don’t have any experience working with Rust so I’m genuinely curious. I stay away from JS in part due to the insane amount of dependencies every non-trivial project has.
I’ve built projects in many languages and other than a few JS/React/ReactNative projects which seem to have unavoidably massive node_modules folders, I’ve never had more than maybe 10 dependencies in a project ever…

From a quick glance through the files, I see maybe a couple dozen direct dependencies. That’s not what I would call conservative (especially for a privileged daemon) but the bulk of those hundreds seem to be sub-dependencies.
I’ve seen similar in the other Rust projects that caught my attention. I suppose this is a predictable result of Rust’s Cargo culture: When pulling in other people’s code is convenient, automated, and normalized, it tends to happen a lot, and the transitive nature of dependencies amplifies the effect.
So even a small project can easily include code from hundreds of random people other than the author, with practically no accountability, as we see here. And since it’s a long tail of small and often obscure projects, rather than a handful of well-known ones like a standard library, there is little hope of meaningful auditing.
There also seems to be a culture of statically linking all those dependencies. That means security patches will never reach a user through OS updates, and with so many dependencies involved, chances are slim that every upstream vulnerability will be patched on the user’s machine soon after it’s discovered (if ever).
I would find Rust more appealing if it had a standard library (and maybe a few high-profile well-maintained external libs) comprehensive enough to cover most needs, and if the tooling and culture encouraged minimizing dependencies. I think the former might develop with time. I fear the latter might not ever appear.
I’ve been thinking about learning Rust after hearing about it’s benefits, but was put off by its ugly type syntax that I hate from C++ and the whole “fighting with the borrow checker to do simple stuff” thing. But now it seems it also has the terrible bloated dependency culture I hate from JavaScript too!
IMO any security benefits from the increased memory safety are immediately nullified by the security nightmare that is hundreds of statically compiled dependencies…
I guess I’ll keep waiting on the sidelines and see how the standard lib and dependency culture evolves.
You’re not alone in finding the syntax awkward and ugly. :)
Rust’s promise of lifetime management that can (with help from the programmer) be guaranteed correct is very appealing to me, but that feature alone is not enough to justify excessive code complexity or bad ergonomics.

Rust undermines itself in another way, too: A systems programming language that’s difficult to use encourages switching off the safety features when they get in the way. That’s frowned upon by the community, but the incentive is there, so it happens nevertheless. The result: overly complex software that’s annoying to write/maintain and doesn’t always deliver on the language’s defining promise.
And then there’s the fact that not all dangerous bugs are solved by memory safety. It’s no panacea.
I guess I’ll keep waiting on the sidelines and see how the standard lib and dependency culture evolves.
If you’re interested in something that improves on C++, you might have a look at D. The basic syntax is similar, the advanced syntax is better, it offers memory safety tools less burdensome than Rust’s, and has an optional garbage collector. I find the standard library a bit rough, but an improved next edition is in progress. The dependency management tool (Dub) supports not only libraries from a community repo, but also OS-provided libs, git repos, and plain old directories. After using it actively for a month or so, I feel the language itself is sane, and the maintainers seem to be making good decisions about polishing it up in future versions.

Thanks for saying it.
When I see some rust projects, they looks like they where managed by JS devs (“1 need, 1 package”) that want to do compiled language… The amount of dependencies can be utterly insane.
For me, it mostly means rust have a strong package system, not that rust have good devs.
I’m doing Python at work and you have to use a many pypi package for financial reasons (yet, I restrict myself as much as possible), but seeing this mindset is scope specific open source project is crazy.
All of this does not means all rust (or JS) devs are bad, its just a consequence of bringing code to the masses: Its a good thing in many way. Lets acknowledge this and not being impressed by badly engineered dependency choices.
It’s interesting that Asia is boosting Linux numbers when the Valve hardware survey showed the opposite. The numbers were recently updated to include China and it caused every OS to lose ground to Win10.
There is a MAS solution for windows that activates it on GitHub. I had to use it when the key I purchased a decade ago didn’t work when I upgraded my hardware. I didn’t want to pay a second time for an OS that was going to push Cortana, OneDrive, and ads at me.
This blows my mind. I still daily drive Firefox on all 3 of my computers and my phone. I don’t get the hate, and I feel it’s the right thing to support in this monopoly market where the biggest browser is owned by an ad company.
You have to understand, this late into the slow motion apocalypse the writers were starting to get eaten by hellhounds and so there is a lot of rushed writing/plot arcs that just doesn’t much sense when you look too closely because it isn’t like the lizard people were going to reduce the apocalypse guild writers quota just because some of them (most of them) had been eaten by hellhounds, the lizard people SENT the hellhounds so that would have just made the lizard people look incompetent.
I mean, it’s the same old enshittification thing and all you know the story.
