UI Issues: Mouseover Not Registering, Double-Click Required, Magnifier Not Updating

Post by cornelius.rahn@gmail.com »

Hi, I have some issues with the UI in the last official release and current beta that make the game almost unplayable for me.

1. Mouseover tooltips not triggering reliably
- Hovering over units/hexes often does nothing
- Tooltips sometimes only appear after pressing a key on the keyboard, suggesting a refresh/input focus problem
2. Clicks not registering properly
- Frequently need to click twice on elements (e.g., airfields) to display unit details
- First click appears to “select,” second click actually triggers the UI response
3. Magnifying glass not updating
- The magnifier remains stuck showing a previous map area
- Moving the mouse does not update the zoomed view
- It effectively “drags around” a frozen image rather than tracking the cursor

The same happens in full screen mode, but it's worse in that pop up windows like LCU just flicker in but never really show.

Am on Windows 11 Pro, 3440x1440, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 GB RAM, Geforce RTX 3060.

I cant really screenshot the magnifying class because if i have it active i also cant use my snipping tool.

Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for the report. Did you run into this issue with any previous versions of the game, such as the release version of the game?

Hello, thanks for replying. I have only tried the current official version (53) as well as the latest beta (54). I can do a clean install without updates and see if this changes anything.

EDIT: A clean reinstall seems to have done the trick.
