Why can't I access some menu options during game resolution?

Just wondering - during the game resolution phase, while paused, several options from the menus are greyed out. For some things I understand, like Save and so on.

But why can't the player access the other options like:
- Save screenshot (Ctrl-Z still works though)
- End game
- Exit game (clicking the windows X close works...)
- None of the Help menu options
And so on...

Like all these options:

I assume this is because the turn is "running" but it really makes no sense for some of these options.

We will check it out. Odds are that we broke some of the toggles with all of the stuff we have done with our Origins builds. Gets a bit dicey in the code this late in the support session to be adding things. Gives us a little bit of time to shift gears from SS development to look back at the RS stuff.

OK thanks cap'n :)

I am new to the game, so not even sure what options should be enabled or not, but it just seemed odd that so many were greyed out during the resolution phase.

Most items will be grayed out during resolution in order to let it run. It sound like there is something odd happening and it sounds like one of the dialog boxes is not showing when the game resolution is paused. We should be able to review these over the holiday this week.
