suspected cause: I ran 3 clients at once.

I noticed when running 3 clients at once that 2 of them would have disabled keyboard and mouse. The joypad fight stick still functioned for strafing as it is assigned. Later when I log in it is always disabled and removing the plugins folder doesn't fix the problem. The mouse works on login screen as well as station menu but is disabled on launch. I am currently unable to play the game.

Things I've tried:

removing plugins folder,
removing all config and system notes files,
game reinstall including manual removal of the executable in ~/bin

My system is LiGurOs which is actually just Gentoo linux.

UPDATE:
it appears that running multiple clients has erased all my key binds except my joypad binds...

We'll take a look when we can, but the game client was not developed or tested to be run multiple times concurrently on the same machine.

Obviously, this is something that people do, but it isn't exactly a development or test-case. Erasing binds could be related as well, with multiple clients trying to open and write to the same file.

So, anyway, we're a little overloaded right now, but we'll try to check it out when we can.

Thank you for making note sir.

We're releasing some changes later tonight that alter the way settings are saved, which could help your situation. Let us know if there's any improvement.
