(reverted "Simultaneous Input" information in regards to Linux/Proton: upon furhter investigation (and by sheer accident, long story); it appears that it's the game's internal joystick deadzone threshold that causes the button prompt switch to "lock-in", without affecting the character/camera's movement.) |
