[Beta 2] Menus freeze

[MiggyMan]

Bit of an odd one since it just started happening after a day of using yesterdays beta2 release but hitting the build menu button just freezes all input (without opening the menu) almost like somethings grabbed focus, I thought it might be my current station save so I loaded an old ship save and the same thing occurs.

that's bonkers, you might have to hit F11 and let Askel and the boys get the save and see if it's repeatable for them over there. I mean you got enough hours to know what you're doing, so we don't have to cover the basics, and it certainly doesn't do that here!

Well bollocks, I just went to drop a bug report and despite having tried restarting it several times to no avail it's now started behaving, good on one hand, annoying on the other since I have no idea what the cause was.

[MiggyMan]

ah well, so on the off chance it is of use I'll add a little more to the description of what was happening, so when attempting to open the build menu the screen would essentially lock, everything kept going but scrolling was impossible and the build menu itself did not visibly open (though the behaviour was like focus was locked on a window), hitting escape didn't get out of it but clicking the mouse on map did, at the same time the display buttons (wall controls etc) stopped working.

Hi there!

Can you give some additional information on your system.

Do you use some type of USB hub?
Do you have extra controllers or other devices hooked to your computer?
Do you have a desktop or laptop?

Any new software you've installed recently coinciding with when the issue appeared? Like some keyboard remapping software or other.

Also, did it start working now or is it still doing it?

[MiggyMan]

* No usb hubs (well, I mean aside from those built into the motherboard :D),
* No additional controllers or input devices
* No new software/config changes
* Desktop machine

It started doing it shortly before my initial post and persisted between restarts (and on older saves), and stopped again last night when I went to raise a big report (typical) and as of checking just now it's still behaving.

If it does happen again I'll raise a bug report before anything else.

random follow-up question: could you by chance be on an AMD GPU and using the most current driver? they've had issues with OpenGL for a while, must be some lingering thing, and some builds work, some don't. (there's apparently a trick where you can install certain drivers that do work, then update to current Adrenalin to get the best of both worlds kind-of-thing.)

could be it's a graphic support thing, not a SH thing.

If not an issue with the game code (check integrity after update/download), it could possibly be a quick-start optimisation issue at the OS level. (consistent with subsequent restarts)
Especially if optimising on SSDs as it could of led to fragmentation. (Bugs in that situation tend to fix themselves once the fragmentation has been resolved which if the OS is Windows it tends to do on it's own)

That being said I could just be going the way of a hallucinating AI and not being much help at all.
