Games do not recognize russian keyboard layout input.

Open Oikio opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

I've failed to find dedicated issue to the problem on Github.

Games do not recognize russian keyboard layout input. Looks like problem is persistent across all games and everything works in native games like CS2.

Typing in Russian layout:

  • Baldur's Gate 3 - does not work (inventory search)
  • Eco - symbols are rendered as question marks
  • Stellaris - works in launcher, question marks in game

Proton: used either default Proton per game, or experimental - same issue.

Same problem in Dead by Daylight and Overwatch. Can't type in chat, WASD keys not working until I switch to the US layout.

Having issues with Garry's Mod and Lethal Company. Both do not accept RU input and replace it with question marks. Also it's persistent between two devices with different hardware.

I don't have this issue anymore. Is it fixed?

I can confirm issue being still present with latest proton version for the same titles I've posted it with.

LANG=ru_RU.utf8 %command%

your game's settings -> put that command to "Launch option" and run. It worked for me.

I also encountered this issue on Steam Deck in Garry's Mod. Any launch options and changes system locales dont help.

I have a issues on the Windows version using Proton.

I found the only working solution to this problem, add the following to the startup settings: HOST_LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 %command%

Was having this issue in Rust, solved by the suggested launch options. :)
