Opening Steamoverlay breaks scrolling

11 votes

When i open the Steam Overlay and go back to the game, I can't scroll anymore. Everything else seems to work fine. Alt+Tab out of the game and coming back in fixes it again.

When playing the game on Steam, when I used the steam overlay the game paused and, afterwards, when I returned to the game, I could interact with the map and inspect tiles/buildings/workers but the timeflow wouldnt resume (neither with keyboard shortcuts nor clicking in the onscreen buttons to resume time). Had to close the game and open it again, as returning to the main menu and clicking continue wouldnt clear the freeze.

this happens whenever I alt-tab out of the game, but the screen freezes.

For example: when I alt-tab, screen freezes. I press escape for menu and alt-tab in and out. The menu will appear. If I click return to main menu, I have to alt-tab in and out for the confirmation box appears.

I could not raise or lower the priority of any constructions or use the pause/play buttons when I loaded the game. Changing the number of workers in the district center fixed the issue.

Just had the same problem, but with the additional issue that the confirmation pop up when deleting buildings stopped appearing too. Reloading the game fixed it.

When using Alt-Tab to go to the steam overlay, on returning to the game the mouse wheel zoom doesnt work.

I had the same issue with Alt+Tab (Steam Overlay). For me, scroll was then locked and the Storage Overlay was turned on. Trying to turn it off didn't work. Pressing spacebar to pause/unpause time also didn't work.
