This is quite annoying, but harmless bug.



Often hexagons with pearls are hard to click. Like I am trying to click it, but nothing happens. Sometimes it helps to move unit to adjacent hexagon or move/zoom camera. I am sure that it caused by pearl (only happens to hexagons with it). Is it known bug? I can provide video if needed, but I doubt that it will help. I'm running EL on 1920x1080, fullscreen, nothing special.



Thanks in advance!

Hello GreyZ0mbie,

I'm not sure I perfectly understand the issue at hand here, especially when it comes to the hexagons with pearls.

What do you want to select exactly?

Do you have some issue to move your units?

Just so you know we never encountered weird behavior during our tests on this subject.

This also happens to me, and I was unsure whether it wasn't something on my end only.



If there is a Pearl cluster on a tile, oftentimes your selected army will just not proceed to the tile once you right click the desired tile - no move command is issued.

There were cases where I needed to right click the tile a dozen or so times for the army to actually move, and in those cases I try to click all over the surface of the desired tile with Pearl cluster. Not sure if there is some "dead surface" or the whole tile is resisting the move command for some cryptic reason.



Same visuals here - 1920x1080, Fullscreen, also big UI if this matters (but no UI parts ever need to obfuscate the tile for the issue to occur).

Hope this helps.

Yep, good description.



I am not sure, but I'm collecting pearl while playing on unzoomed map, so it might be some bug with only zoom. Does it happen for you on unzoomed map, Grzemek?



Also bug happens randomly and I didn't find all details about repeating this bug, so it's just bug with clicks from time to time, hard to tell more detailed information. I will try to recreate and show how it's happen for me.

Sorry for my poor explanations, it's just real hard to explain... Grzemek did great job explaining this, big thanks to him! Here is the video on save file with my experiments (don't mind the numbers! ), it happens this way:







Sorry again for my poor wording before.



Edit: Also, my way of speeding units (as it shown on video) doesn't affect bug, it happens regardless.

Thanks a lot for the additional explanations

The video was also very helpful to understand the issue.

Unfortunately I suspect its randomness will make it very difficult to track and fix.

We will open a bug with all the info though!

I don't have the Shifters DLC, yet I'm experiencing the same problem when map is dezoomed, clicking on hex doesn't register well and needs multiple click to register. This applies to ruin, minor faction village, ... So this is definitely not something related to hex with pearl only.



It happens very frequently when playing with a moderately unzoomed map like the strategic map for example (or a little closer). Most clicks to those hexes doesn't register well, so army doesn't move.

However, increasing the zoom level or playing with a greater zoom level, seems to solve the problem.





Just my 2 cents

Wow, my memory is short. I also experience this behaviour against Ruins and Villages, not on normal tiles though. Zooming maximally in partially helps (partially, as in sometimes I need to still click like madman on maximum zoom but it eventually works).





Regarding your question about unzooming (moving from many details to panoramic view) - as far as I remember it starts from the view where FIDSI numbers disappear all the way to the least detailed (regions overview) view.



It is really strange that you didn't register this on your end, now that I come to think about it I had a least one frustrating moment like that in every match, be it Pearls (during beta and now) or Ruins/Villages pre-beta (maybe it occurred much more often with Pearls and I didn't notice it with Ruins/Villages), for an unspecified period.



Damn, I am a bit embarrassed that I haven't mentioned this issue earlier.

I was able to reproduce the problem with moderate success.

I'm playing at 1280x768, so no BigUI here.



Here is my save file of the game.





Step to reproduce the click not registering:

1) Select the city

2) Select the army on the city square

3) Right-click on the ruin just to the right of the army.

4) Try step 3 multiple times by trying different spots until the problem happen. (I generally can reproduce the problem within 1-7 clicks)

5) If not, restart at step 1 and try again.



Here is a sample screenshot taken just after a click not registering



On a side note, if you click too fastly after a window has been closed, it will take some times before click start registering.



Maybe the problem is related to a lag in the previous action, like closing a window, calculating a new path for the unit, the AI moving it's units during our turn, ...

Hm, I'm sure that it happens for me only for tiles with pearl. It doesn't really help, but it might be different bugs.

I want to update thread. When "block" happens, until I zoom/move map I can't move to any tile (not only pearl tile). Toto67 was right.
