XMBC Version: 2.20
Installed or Portable version:
Windows Version: 11
Mouse Information (brand/model):
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc):
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): no
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): no
How long have you used XMBC?: long

Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).: Sticky left MB works fine in this game, as does a remapped button, but sticky right doesn't work.

Are you just choosing sticky right from the dropdown menu?
I'll have to check it out (I don't see why it would work with left but not right - maybe there is a bug in the right button code...)
Its worth mentioning that many games block XMBC, but I'd expect nothing to work if that is the case!

You could try instead, simulated keystrokes, type {RMB} in the input and select method 8 and see if that works?

That also doesn't work.

OK My guess then would be the game is using direct input or something for button detection, rather than windows mouse messages, to it just sees the button pressed/released source messages and is ignorant to the fact that the first button up (and second button down) was not actually sent through to Windows (blocked by XMBC). If that is the case, there is nothing that can be done about that by XMBC (the game is getting its input at a lower level), but this does not explain why left button sticky does work?!

I may have to try this myself, is the game available to free/trial?

You can download a playable demo of "Syberia - The World Before" on Steam

OK Got it... And it is a little weird.
Sticky right button does not work at all when assigned to the right button, but it does work if I assign button 4 or 5 to sticky right - sometimes!
Maybe not the first click, but after that it seems to work... No idea why that would be, I can only assume its the way the game behaves to original mouse messages and simulated input.

I don't think there is much I can do about it - XMBC seems to be doing as it should, its just the game is not reacting as one would expect.
