[Twinsen] [1.1.88] Steam Deck keyboard doesn't appear

Post by undefiened »

The new update says that the keyboard should automatically appear when in input fields, but it doesn't happen, I still need to use Steam+X to open keyboard. I have a hunch that it can be connected to the fact that I installed Factorio from GOG. But I still play in normal Steam Deck gaming mode, I just added Factorio as a non-Steam game.

Are you using controller input?

Yes, I do.

So, when I, for example, open auto-logistics tab and try to select any numeric field to input something, nothing happens.
Screenshot of an example (there was actually a cursor in the field there until I took a screenshot):

Sorry for the very late reply.
I tried reproducing the issue and it works fine for me.

The keyboard only shows for the Steam version of the game only when ran from Steam Big Picture in console mode. Otherwise the Steam Overlay keyboard is known to have some issues so you can try a restart.
