Right Click Menu Bug? - 5/28/2014 8:46:02 PM

Whenever I select a constructor ship and right click on a planet to build a base the map moves and I get no menu. I have to keep clicking over and over while moving the cursor around until it finally pops up.

Is it just me or my system or am I doing something wrong?

It looks to me like the game is confused and thinks I'm moving the map when I really want the right click menu for the selected ship.

Any help would be appreciated as this is bugging the hell out of me.

I tried it a bit as I read this, I have not been managing constructors this way for a while.

At some instances I got a scroll on the first try, and the menu on the second. After that I had trouble reproducing the accidental scroll.

My guess is that it scrolls the screen if the mouse moves. So... Are you moving it? Maybe the mouse is ill and twitches a tiny bit? Something like that?

Just out of curiosity...

How do you assign constructors to build mine bases in the early game without the right click menu?

Hmm... Looking at the expansion planner there does not seem to be any way to assign a ship to a planet that has not yet been surveyed.

Where I'm using the right click is only in the early game before my scouts have had a chance to go out.

Well, I did figure out that I loose the menu based on my zoom range. If I play around with zooming in and out while right clicking I can get it once in a while.

I saw a YouTube video where they were talking about how in windowed mode the mouse cursor was off by a bit. I'm going to try in full screen tonight when I get home and see if it happens when i'm not windowed.

I do quite a bit of construction management and I haven't noticed any of these issues.

I'll look at this a bit more.

Well, after testing last night It does not seem to be related to the window as I can't find any way to go from full screen to windowed mode in the options. :)

I notice that when ever I right click the screen moves. I can hold the mouse perfectly still and right click and the screen will move down and to the right slightly immediately and the cross hairs appear while the mouse button is down.

The only way I can get around it is to pound the button multiple times and "sometimes" the menu will come up.

This is really annoying as I loose all the control the menu offers.

Note, I am using the Razor Naga Mouse, if that makes any difference. I have not noticed any problems with any other game or with Windows when using it so I doubt it is a problem with the mouse.
