Game breaks when naming buildings

[seannyg21]

Game was working fine last night but today any time the game prompts me to name a building it is extremely laggy in the text box and the 'apply' button does not actually work, so I'm just stuck with the prompt on my screen with no way to click off so I'm forced to load a save.

seconded

Also, you can only get rid of the dialog box if you click the menu icon, but that then grays out the save button.

Same problem. Tried to name soundstage and it froze. Managed to escape but attempting to rename the same soundstage completely locked up the game.

i have same problem with "apply" button

one here with the same issue

[BL4Y]

yes, last night all fine update the Name Bug.

Same for me here. I can´t Star the Save because always lock me before naming the first studio

[paulb104]

same here. i can name the sound stage and get the pop up to go away but then cant save or move anything anyway

I have the issue as well, Sound Studio got built, game didn't like that. Managed to force it to continue by menu -> resume, but then my Film Lab got built, no naming popup, and the game can't be unpaused anymore. I could reproduce the bug and have sent an email as per the pinned BUGS thread.

Guys, it was like that at the pavilions. When your screen turns gray, you see the text input cursor, find the button (which should be) the cursor will turn golden, and click) It helped me. The game continued! This is certainly not the right solution. But I'm sure the guys will fix it soon.

такая же ♥♥♥♥♥

But this does not solve the problem with saving. It's not available. It's a pity, of course. I hope the guys see this soon, we need an urgent fix.

Ditto. This happened just before the last update too.

Same. Soundstage naming breaks it

Just encountered this myself and have now reloaded earlier saves 2x trying various things to get round it: has anyone by any chance tried making sure the game isn't paused when doing the naming? (I've been finding a lot of the hiccups I encounter are fixed by making sure I'm not paused and I'm waiting on my 3rd re-load from save just now to try naming the soundstage with the game on speed 1 but realise I may be wasting my time.)

EDIT. And yes I was wasting my time. Using 'Continue' got me past that with the soundstage still unnamed and normal-ish gameplay then ensued until my pre-production shop had to announce completion of some upgrade research, whereupon the game failed to notify me but simply paused and wouldn't un-pause even after I tracked down the newly completed research and selected the next upgrade to research. So I've had to abandon the game. One of these days I'll get past 1936.

same here, went to name the soundstage and the game freaked out
