Can't click on anything in the game menu

[Hippopotamoose]

Bought the game today, first it was minimizing constantly for no reason. Now that has stopped and i'm in the menu I can't click anything. My mouse works, obviously because i had to click play in the launcher. And the game registers it because i have a cursor and the menu tabs highlight if i hover over them. All that doesn't work is clicking on them. Everybody i've seen has said they have an AutoHotkey script that stops it from working, but I never remember getting a script and do't know how to look either way.

Ive tried validating game files
Set launch options to autoconfig
Manually set the resolution in the files
Restart computer

Computer specs?
Try to find "C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\ThreeKingdoms\scripts" and open preferences file. There try to put game on borderless windowed mode and see if it helps

gfx_fullscreen false; # gfx_fullscreen <bool>, Run the application in fullscreen or not #

Changed the script to that and yet it still ran fullscreen. And i don't have the launch option set to run fullscreen either

I've had something like this before on a different game, turns out it was anti virus. disabled it, and the game stopped minimizing.

Later uninstalled the AV, cleaned the reg with ccleaner, and reinstalled it. Not done it since.

Worth a try.

It doesn't minimize anymore

It did though, right?
Might be related. Try disabling it and see what happens.

I assume you've tried alt-tab in and out, then seeing if you can click anything.

No didn't work. And yes i have

I also tried it with a different mouse. The most basic mouse I could find and still nothing

Post what spec PC/laptop you using.

Check in the taskbar (default, bottom right of the screen) open up the down arrow, and see what's running in there. End them one by one, with the game open (not steam, or others you need, but a whole lot of crap tends to collect itself there). See if that allows you to click.

get this https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner
go tools, startup
to remove them from your startup, and reboot.

Also run the cleaner, and regcleaner.

I just found a mouse button controller which is probably the culprit. Every other person who had this problem fixed it by disabling a mouse related script or hotkey. Unfortunately i started a reinstall now so will have to wait a few hours to see

Probably was yeah. Seems like every bit of software wants to run in the background, all the time. I'd def run ccleaner, and clean out your startup. Amount of crap that collects itself there is unreal.

Just got back froom work. Disabled the mouse thing and it works. Clearly the game doesn't like mouse scripts.

I have to give you credit, I had no idea I had the thing even on my computer and only found it from the startup menu. So thank you sir

Having this same issue how did you end up finding the mouse controller, I cant seem to have any luck.

Thank you so genuinely much. Spent hours verifying files, switching resolutions, even redownloading. This was the one thing that worked!
