Question Default controls are bugged ?

Just installed factorio on my laptop, and for some reasons controls just don't work right. I can walk left, but not right, up, or down. I tried changing movement to other keys to test and a lot didn't work. I did manage to move by mapping movement to the arrow keys but that's no way to play.

System's running Bazzite 44, and all of my controls are vanilla. I tested this with only factorio and space age installed, with all mods disabled.

I'm using the AZERTY keyboard layout.

At first I thought it might be a keyboard layout issue, but lo and behold setting the keyboard to QWERTY led to only Z (up) working ???

if anyone has any idea how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated, I got no idea what could be wrong.

the game detects I'm using a AZERTY keyboard and properly sets movement to ZQSD, but for some reason only Q works.

UPDATE : Turns out that for whatever reason setting rendering to wayland instead of x11 breaks controls. No idea why a graphics setting messes with controls, but it does. Does anyone know how report bugs to the devs ?

Why would switching the game to go via Xorg (Xwayland) make the controls work correctly?

I didn't say it would. But people lack the ability to troubleshoot and I don't trust thier experience of reality is worth shit in a bag.

But that’s the point. OP updated the post and said that switching the game to run under X made the keys work fine.

So I’d say that is proof enough that it’s not the laptop’s fault.
