Issue description
I am using the latest version of Arx Libertatis, and I am having trouble with spell casting. When I load a saved game, I can enter magic casting mode with the left ctrl button, but subsequent attempts to cast spells do not work. It does not work, as in it will not even enter into magic casting mode when I have the ctrl button pressed, but will work again when I reload the save, but then again only once.
Steps to reproduce this issue
Nothing entered.

I should add that I am playing the steam version of Arx Fatalis.

That's strange behavior. Just to be sure, by latest version you mean 1.0.3, right?

I'm guessing you're on Windows? Could you try both the SDL and Direct Input input backends under Options -> Control settings? For the SDL backend you'll also need to renderer to OpenGL under Options -> Video settings or it'll fall back to the DInput backend.

Are there any errors or warnings in arx.log? It's under <profile>\My Documents\My Games\Arx Libertatis for XP and under <profile>\Saved Games\Arx Libertatis for Vista and up.

Thanks.

Yes it was on windows, but everything is working now smileys/2.png I guess it was just a fluke, because the game has worked flawlessly since.
