Issue started on or about November 15th.

Problem is intermittent, but persistent. Sometimes computer restart helps, sometimes not.

Immediately following game load, at the main menu, multiple clicks are required on any given button, option, etc. Sometimes 2 clicks, sometimes 4. If I load a city (new or existing) I have to multi-click every menu option, selection, etc. It makes it impossible to play the game.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
I have no idea what's causing this. I've tested without ANY mods or assets and the problem still exists, but is intermittent.

Here are my exact steps:
Launch Steam client, which opens Paradox Launcher.
Click "PLAY" on Launcher window (single click works normal)
Game loads to main menu.
At this point multi-clicks are needed.

Again...this is intermittent and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when it happens.

This just happened to me 8 times in a row. All those loads I continued into the game and was basically unable to play. I wanted to provide a fresh game log, just up to the main menu when the issue begins. Unfortunately, it's now working correctly with single-clicks again. I've now tried several times to the main menu and it's working. The next time this occurs, I'll capture the log and include it in this report.

I went to play it for the first time today and ran headfirst into this. However, this was on an M1 Pro 14 inch Macbook Pro on MacOS Monterey... It is pretty intermittent, and as pointed out earlier, swiping to another desktop and back immediately fixed it so it. Basically everything above was spot on, sans the GPU switching anomaly with the Intel chips. I figured I should give it a report as well.
Good news though, so far the game runs really smooth through the Rosetta translation layer. I couldn't really tell it apart from similar M1 compiled games while on battery.
