Sadly another game that updated to a version of Unity that had the fullscreen bug on Linux is Verdun [Steam], so here's a reminder of the quick fix.

Quite a few games recently stopped responding to any input when they're in full screen. Examples include Streets of Rogue, Ballistic Overkill, White Noise 2 and a few others. It's a bug in the Unity game engine, that was confirmed and fixed in subsequent releases.

Simply add this to your Steam launch option for the game:
-screen-fullscreen 0
This will then fix your input.

Don't know how? It's easy! Right click the game in your Steam library, go to Properties, hit "Set launch options..." and paste the above into it. It will set it into windowed mode, which seems to be the easiest way to fix it until developers update their games again.

Hopefully they will update their Unity version again in future, until then you will need to do that. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: MikeHergaardenHi,

Developer of Verdun here. We use the latest version of Unity (2017.1.0p3) and this issue is still present there. Unity confirmed that this is now fixed and the fix is scheduled to land for 2017.1.0p4, I -think- this Unity patch will launch end this week.
For now please use the workaround listed above, rest assured that a fix will be available soon.

Mike
Thanks for letting us know, Unity told us previously the issue was already fixed. Good to know they're still on it!
