Right click on map now just locks it in rotation mode? - Resolved, mod issue.

[Reactivist]

Hi, not played since july as was waiting for expansion, I prefered to not beta test, expansion and 3.0 finally here so starting a new game today.

Im pretty sure Im not remembering wrong but ordering ships and setting targets used to be a case of selecting the ship with a left click, then right clicking in an area on the map and "set target here", or right clicking on a target ship and "follow" etc etc, but now all right clicking does is lock my mouse in map rotation/tilt mode, rigth clicking a second time doesnt switch that off(nor does anythign else it seems) and the only way out is to pres Esc, I cant bring up any command menus or give orders to ships.

I have not changed any control settings, has something been changed, am I being stupid and missing something here as it has been a few months since I last played?

I'm not aware of any software change that would cause that problem.

Your description of how things "should" behave is exactly how they "do" behave, at least for me.

I don't have the problem where right-clicking fails to bring up context menus.

You are correct, this is not an intended change. Are you using any mods? This issue was troubleshooted during the Beta and was believed to be fixed. If you are not running mods, please describe to me as detailed as possible how you get into this state. Thank you.

Ah, this happened a couple of times for me too last night (unmodded game.) - Unlike before, closing and reopening map solves it, but I'm trying to figure out what triggers it. I'll get a save posted as and when I can duplicate it.

Thanks for the replies, I was about to write that I uninstalled and reintalled yesterday so cant have any mods, but I thought best to make sure and it turns out I did have a mod in the extensions folder, I forgot that would likely survive the uninstall, I removed it and now the menu is working fine.

So Im an idiot, sorry for troubling you

Very glad the expansion is out, been looking forward to this for months, thanks guys.
