Why doesn't clicking work in the offline Quest player?

Question

Was trying to search the forums and bug reports but none of my search terms were taking 100%.

I'll download a game, then can't get past the first "Continue" because the click isn't registering in the offline player.

Win 8 /  Quest 5.6 (Build 5.6.5514.32136)

Upon Program Launch, the Play Tab is active. I click to download any of the games - "The Lunastone" and "Victorian Detective 2" for example. They download fine. The Download switches to "Play". Clicking Play starts the game, inventroy loads, music loads, images load, but at this point in the process, I can click, even select text, but it's as if the clicks aren't registering in the window.

No problems playing in a web browser. Just wanted to figure out what was wrong.

Comments

It would help to give some examples of specific games you are having problems with, or the type of game (Twine?).

My bad, I thought this was just for Quest - kind of got here in a roud about way.

It sounds like a problem with the embedded browser CefSharp, though I haven't heard any reports of this issue in Quest before, and I can't see any reports of similar issues with CefSharp. I can only suggest the generic (and probably not very helpful) advice to try updating your graphics drivers. Also if you really are still on Win 8, you could try upgrading to Win 8.1.

As a workaround you could try downgrading to Quest 5.5.1 - it's behind the "Previous versions" button on the download page. This supports all the same games as Quest 5.6 but uses an earlier (and quite different) version of CefSharp, so that may work for you if the new one doesn't.
