Hitting a dead end in certain menus Have to ctrl-alt-delete

Post » Wed May 30, 2012 8:14 pm

Gamebreaking issue for me. I am getting stuck in certain menus and cannot get out of them. Hitting Tab doesn't work. Hitting ESC doesn't work. Hitting everything/anything doesn't work and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get out and start over.

The first time it happened to me, it happened on the World Map. I accidentally clicked the world map and got to the place where you set a marker/waypoint. After it is placed the following screen appears:



When I see this screen, I know I'm screwed. No matter which of those three choices I click (Remove It, Leave It, Move It) absolutely NOTHING happens. None of the options at the bottom of the screen work, either. I am completely stuck on this screen and have to shut down the client and restart to get back in (usually I have lost progress when this happens). I assumed that it was limited to the World Map screen so I decided I'd be super careful and not do that again and maybe everything would be okay. However, I tried Alchemy and got the same thing:



Clicking "OK" there does nothing, hitting TAB does nothing and once again I am stuck and have to shut down the client to get out of there.

Note that the screen is not locked up here...I can freely move my cursor and click til my heart's content (the choices even indicate that they have been selected when I click on them, just nothing happens). I assumed that it was a simple matter of reassigning hotkeys but I cannot find where to do this for menus. I even tried installing SkyUI but it is still messed up. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the game but I STILL get stuck! Please help

Okay...I can't post pics? I have screen shots of what I'm talking about that would really explain it well, why can I not post them?

I have the same problem if I have NO mods installed at all. As I stated before I have even uninstalled and reinstalled and I get the same issue. "Clicking" seems to be disabled completely in these menus and I cannot get out. ETA: And I was having this problem before ever installing a mod so I am pretty sure it isn't mod related.

The weird thing is that I can still move the cursor in those screens. It's not like the game has frozen or anything. I can alt-tab in and out and I even get the little selection indicator when the cursor rests on one of those options. It's just that NOTHING HAPPENS when I click in ANY menu. If there are "Yes" or "No" options in the menus, I can't just click "Yes" or "No" to select an option. I have to hit the Y or N keys. Unfortunately that ONLY works on menus where the options are limited to "yes" and "no," otherwise nothing happens at all (for example, hitting "O" for "OK" does nothing).
