FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I'm giving Minetest a try and I think I've found a bug. After a few seconds, I can no longer move nor jump. I can still look around using the mouse, and the game has not crashed.

I'm using OS X El Capitan, and I installed the current version of Minetest with Homebrew. I tried to set the debug level to 4 but I cannot see anything strange in the debug file, which I cannot attach to this post (I'm told the .txt extension is not allowed).

Is this a known bug?

I can reproduce this. If you re-join the world, it works normal for a few seconds again. In singleplayer, I can find nothing special in debug.txt, for multiplayer, the only warning there is "Irrlicht: PNG warning: Malformed iTXt chunk". But I doubt if this is related to the problem.

What happens if you turn joysticks off (enable_joystick=false) I believe

The same, unfortunately. I'm unable to move after a few seconds.

I haven't tested this yet. I normally play on Ubuntu, so I did only a quick test.

I created an issue on github to track this https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4274

The setting is called enable_joysticks. Have you toggled that?

I just tried with "enable_joysticks = false" it and I get the same behavior.
