Can't interact with menu items on main screen in full screen
« on: February 08, 2017, 03:56:54 AM »

Had whole issue with game launching, fixed by rolling back drivers.
However I now can't click on any buttons in the main menu. Its not frozen as I can press escape, and enter to exit, and the mouse is moving.
The issue only occurs when in full screen with a resolution lower than my desktop (4k).
I used to be able to play in 2k full screen but now the above issues occr.
Any ideas?

You could try playing in windowed mode - and then set resolution to the same as your desktop resolution.

The game should give you an undecorated window - i.e. functionally full screen - and it may help as a workaround.

This is how I play (for reasons I can't remember ... possibly related to yours) and have no issues.

Right-click on game icon, Properties -> Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

That should do it, I believe - worked for someone else just the other day, with the exact same issue.

I can't as my monitor is 4k and everything is VERY TINY if I play in 4k :)

Confirmed fixed.
Well done again
p.s. I did a search of my issue first and couldn't find an answer

Excellent, glad you got it working!

No worries; it was only a couple of days ago but when I searched for it I had a tough time finding it, too :)
