[0.17.3] UI unresponsive to mouse

Post by Aardwolf »

Hi,

I don't know what triggered it, but while playing the UI suddenly became unresponsive to mouse.

Keyboard shortcuts still work, e.g. escape brings up the game menu, but clicking with the mouse on resume does nothing.

Clicking with the mouse on any item in the inventory, quick bar, ... does nothing.

Clicking on a building still does show some popup windows, so the mouse is not entirely broken.

Also, pressing '1' still selects the item from the quickbar, and I can place it on the map. So it's very specifically, any GUI element doesn't listen to mouse clicks.

I wish I knew what exactly triggered it. I believe the last thing I did was rearrange a few items in the quick bar (deleting some with middle click and placing others in their place), but I might have done more....

Platform: Linux, using Steam

Update: after trying out various things, the UI came back!

Possibly zooming in and out with the scrollwheel is what made the UI work again.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I just had the exact same issue, after reading this post I were able to get it to work again by zooming with the mouseweel.
I did not rearrange the quickbar just before it happened, I were simply building.

Hi,

I just had the exact same issue, I fixed it by clicking on the desktop and then back in the game.

Happened to me couple times today, though I could not figure out exact steps to reproduce, so Ill provide as much info as possible.

Possible trigger: autosave function, exactly after autosave popup closes. Usually it catches me up clicking something in the GUI, like managing inventory, or interacting with quick bar.

Effect: gui becomes unlickable by mouse, any element. I still can open windows trhough shortcuts (like menu for Esc or others, like BP library, tech tree, etc.), however I can not press any button with mouseclick, nore I can interact with inventory items.

ALT+F4 is the only solution I've found, the game loads exactly at the time of glitch is happening since it autosaved without the glitch active anymore. Not gamebraking, but annoying.

Still happens in 0.17.5
Same here. I think it happened to me 5 times now, in a save of the new campaign and a freeplay save. when it happens I usually open some GUIs run around a bit and after a few seconds it works again. I have no idea what exactly causes or fixes it.

Thanks for the reports. Without some method to reproduce this it's very hard to make any progress on it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Tried a few times clicking various things while the autosave is running, didn't get any issues.
