GlyphGryph Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Not entirely sure what causes this, but I'll frequently lose the ability to select any of the buttons on the geoscape to allow me to navigate to the various base screens. I can still click UFOs, send out intercepts, etc. and so on, and if something prompts me to go to base (research, workshop, etc.) going there fixes it. Saving and reloading also fixes it, but it took me a bit to figure that out, heh. It happens pretty regularly so I'll try and keep track of exactly what I was doing leading up to it next time.

Gorlom Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Does any keybinding work? (I think its the F# buttons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftwareSimian Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I've seen this many times before. I suspect it happens after alt-Tab'ing out to the desktop and back in, but I'm not 100% certain on that. As GlyphGryph said, you can't click on any of the top buttons (research, manufacturing, soldiers, etc) from the Geoscape, but you can from within the base screen. But you don't need to wait for any even to bring you into the base -- you can click on the green square marking any of your bases and get into the base view and go to the other sections from there. A similar effect I've seen after switching in and out of the game is that the mouse gets dislocated -- the actual click point ends up several (maybe 10-15) pixels higher than where it should be (pointy end of the cursor) so you have to click at the very bottom edge of an item for it to register properly.

GlyphGryph Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yeah, I've had the dislocation after alt-tabbing too, but this doesn't seem related. Did not know I could click the bases to get to them - that will certainly make things a bit less frustrating than saving and reloading (although that already wasn't that bad). I'd imagine the keybindings work as well, but I'll check for sure tonight - it seems to be solely related to actually manually clicking the button icons.

[zero] Remorse Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I get this bug too - but I find when it happens, if I do perform any actions, eg. click a base icon on the map, then start to do any base operations, I get an instant CTD - definitely a serious bug. The workaround I employ also is save and reload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thixotrop Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 For me the un-clickable icons only happen after ground and alien base missions. Loading the autosave from the mission helps. Alt-tabbing does not lead to this, the icons exist only as border lines for 1-3 seconds before everything is normal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
