Hi there, I've some troubles with the UI not responding. the game lobby seems to be unresponsive to me: switching teams via the 'Join' button doesn't work at all (the button itself gets highlighted when hovered and indented when clicked, but there is no 'confirmation' printed out in the lobby chat) changing the commander only works every second click (button gets highlighted and indented) ingame keyboard input partialy working: during the time after selecting a starting point and before actual start of the match, the game won't accept any keyboard input. Except when i click on the darker overlay which contains the 'Start Annihilation' button (not the button itself), then the game accepts keyboard inputs (enter, shift+enter, n) again. Mouse input is working like expected. Other bugs I've come across: After finishing a game or leaving a lobby, i can't directly go to the server browser again, stating 'Failed to connect to Lobby server'. Again, it fails exactly 2 times before i can continue and search games normally. When successfully joining a game, the pre-lobby screen states 'Login accepted' 'Returning to main menu', but i end up being in the game-lobby. I had these troubles with the preious build 62110 and the actual build 62857 aswell, and i wonder if someone else is experiencing this behaviour too.
The first one I haven't heard of at all. Do you by any chance have mods installed? If so, disable them all and try again. The second one is bug FS#3166. It's currently listed as unconfirmed, so you might want to add your comment there. This one is bug FS#2846. I couldn't find these bug in the bug tracker, so you might want to consider add them there as well. (As separate entities of course). You'll have to do a proper search first of course. Just because I can't find them, doesn't mean they aren't already in there.
Thank you for your help, i don't use mods at all. Well, I've the impression that my network connection might be 'unresponsive' too, causing UI elements that rely on network to 'lag'/display incorrect. I can confirm now that 'switching teams' and 'changing commander' works on first click, but it just takes so damn long, i guess its around 5 seconds or even more (maybe some packet loss, idk). This could somehow explain bug 1, 2, 4 and 5 from my post earlier. Though for example chat works fluently, unit commands ingame also work great and overall gameplay seems ok. I'll search through the bugtracker regarding the 3rd bug and confirm if it is the same.
In the beta i used to have issues with the lobby during the background system/planet generation. It used to affect the lobby to the point where i couldn't change color or pick a slot to join the lobby sometimes. It maybe processor/ram dependent, i have an ULV processor and during planet generation or heavy CPU/GPU loads it lags the UI where it comes to network dependent buttons like the "join slot" and "color picker", The other UI buttons like "back" and "load new system" were fine and always worked when clicked. It didn't happen during the gamma but background generation was broken last few builds, i will see if it still happens now that background system generation is back in the lobby again.
Just tested it now in build .62857.... When the icon next to my name is "spinning" and my PC is generating the system in the background the color picker and slot selection become unresponsive, Everything in the UI works during this time but the color and slot selection do not or are very laggy (takes 2 -3 click to register).
