Title: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Badnik96 on August 22, 2011, 11:25:17 AM
I tried to go onto my RA2 file with the BoF bots on it, but it loads, I get to the title screen, it lets me move the cursor and stuff, but when I try to click "bot lab", nothing happened. I try to click "Exhibition", bothing happens. Even 'Quit', nothing happens. I have to use Alt+F4 to quit the game.

Help? (Yes, I can click things outside of RA2 just fine)

edit: Not working on any other RA2 file either.

edit 2: Not the mouse, I tried switching mice. Still didn't work.

I NEED HELP

Does it work without the BoF bots?

yes.
Does it work without the BoF bots?

I tried a completely different version, it doesn't work.

Reinstall RA2?

I'll try that.

Have you done Alt+Tab to switch to another programme and back again? (I used to get this with Morrowind)
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Badnik96 on August 22, 2011, 12:52:47 PM
I'll try xing out of everything and using RA2, but alt-f1 worked on RA2 before.

edit: didn't work.
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Incredirobotwars on August 22, 2011, 12:53:35 PM
No, you need to swap programmes so that the computer has definitely switched to RA2.
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Badnik96 on August 22, 2011, 12:55:01 PM
no, nothing else was on and the RA2 cursor appeared in the RA2 game, the "bot lab thingy lights up when I put my cursor over it but it doesn't let me enter the botlab.

Regardless of other things being on, it needs to 'Switch to task'. May sound stupid for asking, but...Ctrl+Alt+Del, then 'Switch to tsk'? Have you tried that?
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: FOTEPX on August 22, 2011, 01:11:31 PM
Re-install your mouse drivers?

You can always use Autohotkey to remap one of your keyboard key into a mouse click.

Put all your bots on the exchange first.
That way you can get them back.
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything (SOLVED)
Post by: Badnik96 on August 22, 2011, 04:17:54 PM
Nar said there's a patch, I'm gonna try to find that before I reinstall.

@Mr. AS Nice try. If I was gonna save everything I'd put it in a RAR file and PM it to myself.

*Constructive bump*
I have this same problem, but I'm not sure if re installing windows would help, because I run RA2 off of an external hard drive.

Is it on the same resolution you usually use?
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Badnik96 on April 07, 2012, 07:37:32 PM
yes. Would changing the resolution fix it?
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on April 08, 2012, 12:00:35 AM
Just a shot in the dark, but I adjusted my resolution one time, and it make the buttons not work.

How would I change it? RA2 won't let me.

How would I change it? RA2 won't let me.

Open WHATEV ... usually C:\Program Files\Infogrames\Robot Arena 2\ra2.cfg with notepad++ and change the top part to this


3DHardware=1
FullScreen=1FSDisplayWidth=800
FSDisplayHeight=600
FS3DDisplayWidth=800
FS3DDisplayHeight=600
BitsPerPixel=32
GfxDetail=1
MagMinFiltering=Linear
EnableDepthStencil=1
DepthStencilFormat=D16
DisplayDriver=Default
[End Graphics Config]
[Begin RA2 Config]
EventNumBots=4
GraphicDetail=1
GraphicEffects=1
GraphicMessages=1
ArenaIntros=0
SoundVolume=-600
MusicVolume=-600
MusicMuted=0
SoundMuted=0
DefaultCamera=watch
UpdateInterval=0.050000
AllowNonStandardMultiplayer=1


the next 2 lines should be



[End RA2 Config]
[Begin Multiplayer Config]

Oh, well then I have no idea in that case.
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Mr. AS on April 08, 2012, 12:23:14 PM
$5 says its an update you installed

google "update uninstaller for [your os]"
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Badnik96 on April 08, 2012, 05:45:06 PM
I know that but I don't know which update caused it
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Mr. AS on April 08, 2012, 05:46:52 PM
try uninstalling all of them from latest to earliest and check if ra2 works after each uninstallation, make sure to restart your computer if told to
Title: Re: RA2 not letting me click anything
Post by: Badnik96 on April 08, 2012, 08:49:04 PM
Security updates too? Because I uninstalled every normal update and hotfix from last night to January 2011 and the game still doesn't work, even though it worked last january (every update before then says it can't be uninstalled)
