This Keeps Happening...

Postby AlgebraMatador » 08 Nov 2015, 04:39

...and the only fix I have because I do not know what files are what or their purpose I have to re-install everything. I cannot select units, I cannot use any of the menus. This is both in replays and in real games. So my current fix is to simply re-install FAF after un-installing. This started happening two days ago. Go about 12 games or less and this happens. Both from game to game without leaving FAF and after a reboot the next day.

The interface is all tweaked when this happens. I have no interface mods turned on at this time. When I re-install FAF I rename the GPG folder with the maps and mods in it so FAF will not look for it. The yellow highlight is a unit selection, what happens when I try to select something.

Press alt or shift alt or ctrl alt (actually try all combos untill it works :lol: ) with arrow key left/right (or up/down). One of these combo's should change your faction layout and put everything back in its place. :)

Good luck!

The first two sentences very much dilute the seriousness of the third. Better to move the third sentence up the top and make it redder.

I have had this issue exactly and every time it was from a UI mod misbehaving. although you say you have no mods enabled... which is curious, because it's identical behaviour
