    So, I'm in a GW game right now, and I have completely lost the ability to select anything, move anything, press escape, etc. All I can do is move this camera. Any suggestions? No mods or anything.

    It's UI crash. All you can do is exit game using Alt+F4.
    Galactic War progress won't lost except latest battle.

    And what should happen then? :confused:

    Console key as well as console itself handled by Coherent so if Coherent crashed there is no console any more.

    I mean when you press console and you don't close it you can not do select unit or whatever things

    You could try hitting f5 to refresh it?

    Gotcha. That's pretty much been all I can do when it happens, but man it sure is annoying.

    And yeah, for the record, no keys worked except the arrow keys for moving the camera. Nothing else, no F5, no escape, no console key. Tried em all.

    Not quite the same, but whenever I use the v+t to select a mex, I can't place it, and I have to just spam mouse clicks to get out of it. Not a full UI crash, and it's totally random.
