So I had just started the game, set my commander to start a build queue, he gets about halfway done with all it, and then all the sudden, none of my controls work. The mouse stopped responding, keyboard didn't do anything, and weirdly enough, I could still zoom in and out with mouse wheel. I don't know if this was a connection issue, or just a random bug. I did not do anything like tab out of the game or open the escape menu. It just stopped working.
Sounds like the ui thread crashed. You could still zoom because that is one of the few things not handled by the ui thread. Our third party ui system (Coherent) works quite well most of the time, but if the system is stressed it tends to crash first.
Ah ok, good to know. I have read around the forums that Coherent is still fairly new and unstable, and that you guys are working to stabilize it, I just didn't know that the controls not responding was a by-product of the UI. Thanks for letting me know.
