I have no real idea what causes it, but sometimes menus just stop opening. absolutely nothing opens on command. If I go to a station, the interface opens up fine but nothing anywhere else. Reloading the save doesn't fix anything, but restarting the whole game does. It didn't throw any errors of any sort from what I could tell. I'll start a new log and see if I can replicate it.

Hi - can you be a bit more specific about what won't open? Also, it would help to see if there are any errors in the log file when stuff fails to open; the logfile is "starsector.log" in the starsector-core directory.

I have had this happen to me too in my five runs of 0.65 so far and it includes trying to open the map. No errors in log file. It has happened in the first five minutes of play but I did manage to somehow fix it in the last run without having to restart and it then didn't reoccur for for next few hours. I think I'd gone through all options and I'd guess one reset an uncleared or undefined flag. Will try and trace what I do next time.

If this happens again (or maybe one of you already knows):

Does using the shortcut keys work, or is clicking with the mouse the only thing that doesn't work?

Also, can you mouse over other objects on the map and still get tooltips?

Edit: also, do the buttons look disabled, or do they look normal?

BeagleRush is currently streaming the game here (http://www.twitch.tv/miss_jamball), and according to him after combat the menus don't work. It looked like he was able to fix it by opening the cargo menu.

Edit: You can see the issue in the replay video (http://www.twitch.tv/miss_jamball/b/580541776) at around 22:50. The buttons look functional. He fixes it at around 27:50 by opening the cargo screen.

Thank you - this is really helpful!

Ok, was able to track it down thanks to the video. Not fixed quite yet, but will be.

This bug happens if after post-battle salvage, if you loot >= your maximum capacity in anything.

For now, two workarounds:

1) Turn off "campaign help" during the new game creation process.

or

2) Always loot at least 1 unit less than your maximum capacity.

[dogamusprime]

Aw, crap. Didn't see the reply. Sorry Alex.

[Alex]

No worries.

Fixed.

The bug persists even when changing pilots. You have to restart the game to make it stop.

What do you mean by "changing pilots"? Oh, you mean loading a new game. Right. Just turn off campaign help for now
