Can't click boxes, players, items or monsters

[GrimTactics]

Loading in as Shoichi, attempting to click the boxes before the new countdown timer. After the timer boxes wouldn't open and I couldn't loot anything in Pond. Didn't bother to check elsewhere. Player attacked me, I couldn't click, only use abilities.

Update: Experimented in AI matches, switching from Full Screen to Borderless Window Mode fixed the problem after reloading. Then half way in the match after fighting a chicken I once again could not click any boxes, mobs, enemies, only cast abilities. Not even press attack hotkeys did anything. I'm not sure the issue here, not a fun bug tho.

Yeah I introduced this game to a friend, he installed it and this happened during the tutorial itself... Talk about first impressions man, I got him to restart the game and give it another try, it worked, but then in the 3rd tutorial it happened again. oof.

EDIT: Its never happened to me.
We both have gaming laptops, the CPU's the same - R5 3550H.
Our GPUs are different tho, mine's a 1050 mobile and his is a 1650 mobile.

Glad to hear it's not just me bc in almost 300 hours I've never had this issue. Nor have any of the friends I've invited that I've heard of. And I've never heard of anyone else experiencing this until now.

I only noticed it after the update which allows for a countdown timer before the match officially begins. And after they changed some boxes around the map actually, come to think of it. I hope it gets fixed, definitely a buzz kill when this happened in a normal match. I would hate to have this happen in ranked play; the thought alone is keeping me from playing rn.

I'll run some more tests in AI matches and test more zones if I can get the bug to occur again. I'll try switching in and out of full screen/window mode since that seemed to fix it the first time before it happened again. Anything else I find I'll update here.

Thanks for the feedback, hopefully this doesn't happen too often for the new players. I'd really hate to see new players get an awful first impression and turn away for good.

just played a really good normal match, no issues. No issues on an AI match either. I think the trick is careful how you click. Don't click before the countdown timer ends in the start of match and don't click on objects/mobs/boxes simultaneously. Still a bug that's going to need to be further investigated.

New realization, I experienced this bug originally after enabling the 'auto loot' function and I wonder if this has anything to do with it since I've never had this happen before. Just a thought. I also uninstalled and reinstalled on my SSD bc the game says loading is faster (not that I've noticed). However I don't think that's the problem. Still, since waiting for my character to load in completely before clicking, and being careful how I click on boxes and other things simultaneously, I have not experienced this bug again as of yet.

I think it only happens to certain machines. I've not experienced it on my machine at all.

Interesting point. Only thing is, I've played this game since last year and never experienced this issue until the auto-loot update. I did also take a break from the game for a few weeks before then. Would still log in to see characters, but didn't play. Haven't had the bug since being careful with how I click, however I only noticed it happening after enabling the auto-loot function to test it out.

I'll be playing more soon and will run a few more tests to see if I can force it to happen. I'd like to figure out what causes this as it can really leave a bad first impression for new players.
