Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

LMB interacts with UI elements during combat and opens menues

Post by Hellglaiver »

Version: 8.00 (590967)
No mods
Game start: Stranded

I binded Fire Primary Weapons to LMB and I use Mouse Steering to control my ship. During combat, my cursor sometimes hovers over UI elements such as "Messeges" box or Target info box and if I happen to fire during it, a menu pops up.
Is there a way to stop LMB from interacting with these UI elements?

Providing a screenshot with UI elemnts that interact with LMB for clarity sake

There have long been issues with rebinding certain keys such as LMB, RMB, etc in X games as they are used in many different contexts such as for menu and selection actions and can also be affected by left/right handedness setting issues. Other keys cannot even be rebound although various X4 updates have improved key combination binding options using Shift and CTRL etc.

At least binding clashes or issues are usually notified when you try to rebind keys in-game. Many people use MMB or a gaming mouse side button for fire weapon.
