This just started happening to me in an MP game. The other 2 MP games work fine. Right click works for everything but provence selection. It doesn't crash to desktop, only to the main menu, like pressing the exit key.

I copied the dominions directory and removed mods then tried with the "clean" directory but no luck.

Any ideas?

You might bring up your mouse software and see if something has set the mouse right-click to esc or something like that.

I don't think it's the mouse since it works properly in two other MP games.

FAJ, have you found a fix?

This has happened to me as well. It started in turn 51 of a MP game (3.06), and is as described above - when I try to take my turn, using the right mouse button doesn't select a province, it triggers the end turn box (what would happen if you hit 'e'). Taking my turn in SP games, or in the 3 other MP games I'm playing, the mouse behaves normally. I can select a province normally by hitting "#" and putting in the province number, and once I've selected a province, I can use the RMB normally to select a commander, for example. I cannot use the RMB to select a province or move troops.

What I've tried - I'm running XP with a Logitech G5 mouse, and I've gone into the Logitech software to "reset defaults" in case there was some odd preference set - no help. I've tried deleting all local files for the MP game and redownloading the turn - no help. I tried going away on vacation for a few days - no help. I've checked the mouse settings under the control panel - nothing unusual, and again no help.

So, FAJ and Jay, it isn't just you. I think this may be a genuine bug.

JonathanCrane,

Not sure what happened but the problem just went away. I was playing the game where it accured and realized it was working again.

No idea...

Well, interesting.

I tried using a different computer (also XP) with a fresh install of 3.06 and the bug is preserved!

The developers have been kind enough to review the files, and have identified this as a bug - it will be fixed in the upcoming patch. There are more details in the main Bugs thread. Thanks, Illwinter!

Fixed in the shortlist.
