Cannot select units, counties.

[unmerged(785751)]

!!!! EDIT: You can fix this problem by not using Alt-Tab! !!!

As the title says, since patch 1.11 hit, I can only select individual units by clicking on the shield thing on the left of the unit bar, not by drag-selecting. And even if I do that, I still cannot select certain units, like one of the armies you get for free when you start TOG with Gilan. Also I can left-click select my counties, but only once. If I click on one of my countries for the second time, nothing happens. This might be related, i guess.
Everything used to work fine before the patch, so I guess it might be a bug.

So far I've reinstalled the game twice, once completely with all my saves and configuration files. It didn't work. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with the latest Nvidia drivers on a notebook.
My error.log complains about some missing texture files relating to the aztecs (I don't have SI). Graphics.log complains about minor stuff:

[provincetemplate.cpp:244]: Province 0 has invalid origin
[pdxmapgeneration.cpp:222]: Too small river found at 1157, 782
[eu3graphicalmap.cpp:2104]: Invalid port location for province 474, center at 1089,1315, port location at 1088.000, 1313.000
[eu3graphicalmap.cpp:2104]: Invalid port location for province 935, center at 922,1258, port location at 920.000, 1262.000

All other logfiles seem to be okay.

If you need more information, or if I am doing something terribly wrong, please do tell.

Edit: No Mods installed, all add-ons except for SI

Edit 2: I tried creating an empty file for /gfx/event_pictures/aztec_court.tga , which was the file that error.log complained about. This made error.log come up empty, but my problem persists.

I am experiencing the same thing, running the Steam version on Ubuntu 13.04. No mods and all DLCs but Sunset Invasion.

It is not related to saved games, since it happens also when starting a new game.

I am experiencing the same issue on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I cannot select multiple stacks of units either by the click-and-drag or shift-click methods.

Occasionally, a stack of units will be "stuck selected". After selecting the unit, clicking away removes the unit information, but the octagram remains around the representative soldier. Trying to move the unit stack after this point, or select it again, does nothing.

EDIT: Re-read thread, had an idea, and tried it with Sunset Invasion active (I had deactivated it using the QTK launcher). It worked! This is a bug in the Linux version with Sunset Invasion not installed!

EDIT again: Spoke too soon. It appeared again after about 15 minutes of play. Weird.

Are you in full screen mode? Did you switch the window? For me it seems using alt+tab triggers the issue.

That could be it. I tend to alt-tab away while the game loads, though when I reproduced the issue I hadn't done it since loading my save.

I'd test now, but it's late where I am. Will do tomorrow.

Also, I am using an Nvidia video card, as others on your thread noted.

yep, not using Alt-Tab seems to have fixed my problem, at least for the ~10 min I tested this. Thank you, GIG_I!
Of course, it would still be cool if the folks at Paradox could take a look at this (the load times do tend to be on the long side)

 

[Shidoni S]

Now that I had time to think about it, it's obvious: I had no problem, I used alt-tab to report that I had no problem, and then it appeared immediately.

Thank you very much for finding this workaround!

FTFY. Thanks, anyways. It's better than nothing.
