Mouse not working

[decorusveritas]

Frictional,

I bought Amensia: The Dark Descent on GOG.com yesterday, excited to play. When it launched, resolution and visuals all looked good. Sound was good. But after the brief cinematic intro, when I arrive at the first scene of the game, my keyboard works but the mouse has no response. My mouse works fine in the main menus, and the options menus, but I have no mouse control in-game, and that includes when I pull up the mementos scree (I can see the cursor but I get no movement). GOG tells me I have version 1.41 installed.

I have read through the troubleshooting guide, but nothing seems to affect the issue. Here is what I have tried so far:

- verified game files
- changed resolution
- reset default controls
- run in compatibility mode
- run with fullscreen optimizations disabled
- run from launcher, not GOG
- close Steam and GOG

A number of Steam threads said that the issue was due to not being optimized to a mouse with high DPI. However, on the version of Amenisa I have, the override high DIP box is automatically checked, with DPI to be run by the application. So that fix doesn't work for me.

Other threads attribute the problem to the SDL.dll file. I tried to download SDL 1.2.13, but that did not make any difference to the issue. I could not find an SDL 1.2.15, as the link here on the Forum just downloads a file with SDL 1.2.14. So changing SDL files has so far not worked for me. Some people seem to think you have fixed this issue on the Steam version but not the GOG version; maybe that's the issue?

I have attached the HPL log, and I really hope you can help, as I've so been looking forward to playing this. This is the only game I've ever had this problem with. I play SOMA with no issues. I appreciate the help!
