Mouse Required?

#1 Post by ekd217 » Wed Sep 23, 2015 6:17 am

I have a new laptop and installed Kings Quest 1 remake, but it says that a mouse is required and it cannot detect one on my computer. Do I need a mouse other than the mouse pad on my laptop? Or is there a way I can get it to recognize my mouse pad as my mouse? I am sadface. Please help!

Unfortunately, this seems to be an issue with AGS, the engine used to make the game. For actually playing the game, you just need some way of moving the cursor and clicking on things, so that trackpad would work fine there. It just isn't giving you the opportunity to attempt that. I'm not aware of a workaround, but I also don't have a laptop I could test things on.

Thank you!!

I figured as much! I was surprised to find no one else having this issue, but I guess getting a cheap mouse to plug in isn't so hard!

Thanks for responding!
