You can see from the forums that we of course respond to tech support issues. I saw your initial post, but it's not a problem that's ever been reported before and so it needed to be investigated. My only advise would be to check for stuck keys (if SHIFT, CONTROL, etc are stuck down, the game might think you are trying to do something other than just click the menu items).

Please refrain from shouting (all caps) - it makes the board and messages harder to read.

Cheers

As I say, we've not seen anything like this before. The fact it works for a while is what makes me think that perhaps a key is sticking, or you're tabbing out with a key down etc.

In the 1.6 update they changed it to left click instead of right click. Is that the problem?
You can call me junk - and type that with one hand.

Already tried that

yes you can choose right or left button controls...but they will freeze up randomly during some games...I've been using computers since 1985 and know if I'm having a stuck key problem !

Given that we've not seen it happen elsewhere, my guess would be something to do with a custom laptop mouse/pad driver - laptops tend to have a lot of these custom features, and it could be something to do with that? Try disabling any custom pad features, or try and external mouse.

Just had something like this happen in the middle of the demo. I was able to select units and a square to which I wanted to move them but couldn't activate the action. The possible types of move (and suppressive fire) showed but a left click wouldn't allow me to select them.

I saved the game, reloaded and the problem went away.

Thanks for the report. Had you used the CTRL button at all? Or any other system keys? Are you on the PC or the Mac?

If you see it happen again, can you try hitting the CTRL key and see whether that helps.

Thanks a lot

Pip
