UI & Mouse nonresponsive [Fixed in Version 0.0.7]

[Tigerlily]

This seems like i'm just missing something.

I literally can't do anything or move at all. I load right into the map (everyone is standing around) and I can't do anything. I can't build because I can't click on any of the ruins around the map to make a store house. It says to just right click a ruin to convert it but it won't "let" me click anything at all. Is there something i'm doing wrong? 


EDIT* Yea I have no idea whats going on but my town leader won't run or move at all. everyone stands in place the entire time regarless of how fast time moves. it can be day 100 and everyone will be right where they started. Not really sure what to do.

You need to right-click (using the mouse) on a ruin to convert it. Try that? Don't worry, we'll solve this. You're on the frontlines right now. :-) I'll add you to Skype and show you how to do it if that doesn't work.

Yea I am right clicking. left clicking. pretty much clicking it all. When i go into Town Leader mode it snaps back to my person but then i can't make them move. I cant move the camera either unless im in free view mode.

Scott I just made a whole new game and now they will move. I didnt change anything so I think Im gonna scrap this as a fluke.

Yep works fine now. no idea... lol

OH WAIT i did change my resolution back down. I had it at 1920x1080. looked fine but thats all i changed and now it works.

Same issue here, ran the game in 1080, and was unable to do anything while in town leader mode.
Restarting the game fixed it, and I am still running in 1080.

Now to commence killing all the townspeople

I experienced this unusual bug too. I tried returning to the main menu and restarting the game, but it was still broken. I had to quit entirely (to the desktop), and then I could play a new game.

[ScottFarRoad]

For those who had this bug, were you unable to move the town leader with the keyboard and mouse or the one of the 2?

[kevstar432]

I also had this bug too. I could not move my Town Leader with any keyboard key or the mouse.

[ScottFarRoad]

Thanks Kevstar. We're going to make this a top bug-finding priority. Were you able to play ok after a restart?

It's odd you were all (presumably) able to enter your name on the Create a Town Leader screen using the keyboard and then it died when the game started.

I'm having the same issue. At seemingly random times I can't click any menu actions. I can't open the build menu. I can hit B to open it, but can't interact with it. I can't even exit the game. I can hit ESC to bring up the menu but nothing I click works at all. It's like the game just stops recognizing my mouse.

[ScottFarRoad]

Thanks for the report. I thought this (year-old) issue had been solved. It's certainly a lot rarer now. If this is your first time playing the game you might possibly find exiting it and re-opening it makes the problem go away.

I'll pass this thread onto the programmers. If you have any more info or the issues goes away, please let me know.

[ScottFarRoad]

To anybody who else who experiences this bug can you let us know if a restart fixes it?

20 minutes into game, I can only right click on structures, or click on the map to make my leader move around.  Any menu I open up I can't click on. Unable to save the game or do anything. Pressing F5 to open save menu but I can't click on anything or type. Playing on the canyon map.
Issue also happened on the forest map but it happens around 4 min. into playing.  If I manage to play and save a game I'll send it along.

Had the same thing happen to me today. Hadn't saved prior to the UI lockup.

[ScottFarRoad]

Good news (sort of!) This occurred to me today. It's the first time in 100s of hours of playing that it has ever happened to me. Consulting with Nick we were able to come up with a good theory of what caused it and we're 90% sure we might be onto the cause.

If so, (fingers crossed) this problem will be fixed in the next update.

If it happens to you let me know if you just placed a building shortly before it happened.
