Hi Majber, Do you mean you cannot scroll through menu’s, or zoom in/out in the game? Silas ---

I’m also using linux and have the exact same issue with the mouse scroll. For me I can get it to work after alt-tabbing from the game to the desktop for a couple of times. Hope this helps a bit. ---

I suspect the game thinks you’re on a handheld(SteamDeck, Ally, Legion, etc.) and that’s because of Proton that is also developed by the same guys that holds the blame for the current state of Linux gaming. So the way to try and work around that are few, 1st thing is to try and “Disable Steam Input” ![IMG_5592](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/wickedforum/original/2X/e/ed0fe8784e4a482599f719e34f0e77f79ac225d3.png) 2nd is to try and “tell” Proton that you are actually on a PC by adding this command to the launch options of the game SteamDeck=0 %command% If none of the above works, try and install ProtonGE, and set it as a compatibility layer for NRFTW. ---

I changed to CachyOS from Windows; and I just did the Disable Steam Input, it worked — now I can scroll in the game, thank you! 🙂 ---

It’s a feature… 🙂 Have you tried with the latest ProtonGE? This custom Proton version often fixes a lot of quirks and “features“ 🙂 ---

Tried all of this and I still don’t get any scroll input. If the scroll problem can’t be solved on Linux then at least add zoom in/out buttons on the map as, right now, there’s no way to use zoom on the map. In menus you can at least drag the scrollbar to make them scroll. CC: @Silas-Inservio-Pax
