Drop Down Menu issue

edm · 08-17-2008, 04:19 PM

Anyone else have random issues with the Drop Down Menu? It drops down, but I am unable to select anything? It seems to only happen with the "game" drop down section. The only way to fix it is to "x" out of the game and re-enter.

I had the issue pop up again today. Here's a video of it in case you're not sure what I'm referring to

Huh. That's really odd. Which operating system are you using? How much RAM do you have? Will it happen only playing one saved game, or in all of them? Are you using version 9.1.6?

It's occurred with a few different leagues at different times. it seems to be random and doesn't happen often though. I've probably seen it 5-6 times since the game was released.

Im using 9.1.6 but have also seen it with older versions. I'm running xp pro, 1 gig ram. ati. x800xt video card.

it's weird because it only affects the "Game" drop down. Also, I'm running at 1680x1050 in windowed mode if that makes a difference.

You know, last night I ran into an instance of this with a different dropdown menu, but it only lasted a moment until I clicked on a random empty space on the screen.

Were you running any other programs while this happened? My best guess is that it's RAM related.
