    Anyone else have an issue where they loss the ability to control units and factories? Sometime I can select a unit but have no ability to control it and sometimes I can't select anything. This has always happened a little on every version but on 52512 it is happening a lot. Other players seam to be surprised when I say this in game chat so figured I would ask.

    Sometimes the UI seems to go AWOL. Most of the time hitting F5 brings it back, but also it's a known issue that the CoherentUI becomes incoherent and crashes - this requires a restart.

    If the UI crashed he wouldn't be able to chat. It does sound like chronocam might be on. Try pressing 'end' to get back to realtime and control units.

    ZaphodX is correct, the UI still seams to be running fine. I can see the resource bar and it is updating. Maybe chronocam is running, but it doesn't look like it is and the chronocam controls are not shown. Would there happen to be a keyboard command to end chronocam, I don't find one in settings?

    I have yet to have this happen when playing the AI.

    Press the 'end' key. Chronocam doesn't need to be open to pause your view of the game.
