Urgent help needed with gui

I need really help with these f***ing pop up windows in the GUI. I damn cannot click on it. Now on some online maps I would have to fly a plane that I do not want to just because I can not select another plane by clicking on the darn popup menue.

This is really driving me crazy

As these popup windows appear only in the GUI and not in the mission I cannot use the ingame screenshot button. Fraps does not work either, it just takes a screenshot from the screen as if these popup windows were not there.
(perhaps this may be linked to the cause of the problem, that these popup windows are somewhat not so much really there).

So I have made a picture with my old cell phone so the quality is really bad.

This is the popup window (FLUGZEUGWAHL translated to Plane selection) where this bug is the second most annoying (the most annoying is when I want to assign a key and I cannot click on the buttons in the popup menue for a specific keybind):



The menue window with the plane pictures in it is what I call a popup window or popup menue. I cannot click on anything within any popup window with my mouse after having played Clod for a while.

NOTA: after having played Clod for a few minutes this bug appears for ALL popup windows in the game (plane selection, exit popup windows from server and from game, keybinding popup menues, ...).

I can usually access the buttons in the popup menues (like ok, yes, cancel) by using TAB and ENTER. But when I am about to change a keybinding and I press TAB to access the OK button it overrides my initial keybinding and thinks I want to assign TAB to this function.

I also cannot access the little plane pictures in the plane selection popup windows by pressing TAB. So in the pictured popup plane selection menue I just can access the filter option and the close button with using TAB.

Hallo Sturmkrähe,
I am not sure if I got your problem right but I tell you of mine, which I had some month ago by assigning keys.
By keybinding I use also the "alt" key which can affecting some other functions more like other keys like "shift" or "ctrl". Further on I made a thing which keeps on pressing down the "alt"-key. When I forget to remove that thing, I have realy bad issues with the game, it's stability and even the OS itself. So if I haven't get you not wrong, just try an other key-assignement?

To install any program under Microsoft Windows launch the installer by double clicking it. Follow the on-screen instructions.

I would run this checklist:
- check game files integrity in Steam
- reinstall everything(!) from the \redist\ folder
- check in Windows if all Windows updates are installed
- close all other programs or services running in the background to see if there is any conflict with them
If the above does not help
- update all(!) motherboard drivers (chipset, audio, network, etc.)
- update all input drivers (mouse, etc.)
- remove video drivers with DriverCleaner or Sweeper
- install video drivers

Check for viruses btw.

If the above does not help update motherboard BIOS (read if any critical updates are available) then check for Win updates again and reinstall programs from \redist\ folder again. Check if new versions of all these programs are available at developers' sites, update them.

BTW I have the same issue in Battlefield 3 from time to time. Have to use keyboard arrows and enter key till restarting the game What a bugfest even for me! (Not compatible even with ATI Tray Tools or Asus OSD or factory overclocked GTX 560Ti cards Ah...)

I see from other threads you still have the problem.

Have you tried thse simple tests? ......

Move all the .ini files in the 1C Soft Club IL-2 CoD folder to a temporary folder so new ones are generated. Close any other applications.
See if that fixes it. If so be very careful of any changes you make in Options.

If your mouse has any software assocated with it can you get a simple plain old PS2 mouse, uninstall the Logitech mouse software and try the PS2 mouse to see if its the Logitech software or settings that contain the problem.

Also consider if any other applications are controlling or trapping your mouse outputs (e.g. TrackIR can 'trap' key inputs for actions like 'Centre' so that only TIR uses them and they are not passed to any other application. Perhaps an application is trapping your mouseclicks?). Do you have anything else running that also 'programmes' the mouse in some way?

There has to be some reason why it works ok for most people but not for you. Have you compared PC/Hardware specs?

Can I suggest you check any other graphics utility or overlay type programs you may have running and turn them off. These sometimes interfere with the GUI interface.

hmm new one on me , ive never had any trouble with the menu's in that way . what mouse do you have and does it have its own software ?

mh. I have a Logitech mouse and it works fine in ANY other application or game. It also works nice during the first minutes in Clod. And then stop doing so.

giving the peculiarity of your issue, maybe a reinstall its the best solution.

sorry, but rare issues are usually solved better that way.
