I get this bug once in a while. The only way I know to fix is by moving the view around until the cursor is over a ship and double click. Pain in the a$$ but it works till I find a better way.

I thought holding the right button down is supposed to rotate the angle (if you have some camera option on), perhaps your mouse button gets stuck?

For me it only happens write after loading once in 20 games. I think its a bug or my mouse would not just get stuck after game loading.

It sounds like a user error. :)

 

Sticky keys, and to a lesser extent, depressed keys at problematic points in loading, can lead to false positives, giving you secondary functions with your primary actions.  It's common when running in window mode especially, you click off screen in a way that gets you locked into a secondary function on your return.  I do the view rotation on mouse movement one all the time, having to actually try to rotate with the mouse in order to remove the function.

hello fellow SINS people

 

mainly this is annoyance.  ships aren't getting move orders.  and it slows me down if I have to look at each right click and see if the ships got the orders or no.

 

OFC doesn't happen all the time, but once I started noticing how sometimes right clicks get eaten i started noticing it more and more.

OK, I must have been half asleep last night. My bug was the view moving with no mouse click until I got the view over a ship and clicked on it. DRC or DLC or keyboard would not do anything until I got the mouse cursor over a ship. The game cursor was frozen. Only happens on game load once in a blue moon. Yes, beer and coffee have been dumped on my keyboard on a few occasions so I was figuring thats what the problem was from.
