After patching to 1.11 I have encountered problems with selecting provinces or troops. For example when I click some province it sometimes at random does not register and no province menu comes up, but when clicking other provinces the province menu comes up. Also when selecting troops by clicking or boxing them, it works most of the times, but at other times the troops are not selected.
Never experienced this before, and I have not updated or changed anything of note on my computer so it has to be the patching that caused it it in some way.
I have also tried to reinstall the game, but without any improvement.

Are you using any mods? Is this a save game from before 1.11?

I'm not using any mods, and the same problems happens both with pre 1.11 saves and new saves. As for DLC I have all the major ones except Sunset Invasion.
I also see that people with Ubuntu and Nividia drivers are experiencing the same problem, so I guess this rules out any driver or kernel issues as I'm using fedora with catalyst drivers.

It seems the game gets bugged when I use alt+tab to access other applications and then return to the full screen game. Quitting the game and starting again gets rid of the bug (until using alt+tab again). Resigning without quitting the game does not solve the issue.

I hope this helps getting to the source of the issue.

I have the same issue, but this was happening before the 1.11 patch for me. And it doesn't happen every time I Alt-Tab, but once it breaks I have to quit and reload. Someone on Reddit claimed a workaround is to disable tooltips, but that makes the game nearly unplayable for me (too much info found in tooltips only).

Edit: in case it's relevant at all, I'm playing on Linux (LMDE 32-bit w/ NVIDIA drivers) via Steam, with no DLC [yet].

I only just got the game this month, and looking at the update history, the 1.11 patch is the only one that came out since I began playing. I just recall seeing the latest patch come down, and hoping it fixed it, but it hadn't.

Just to clarify, then you had been experiencing this issue before August 14th when 1.11 was released? Because to be precise the 1.111 patch has been released August 16th, so two patches this month.

I don't recall the second patch, but I must've just not noticed it since it's very similar. But I am 99% sure I had this issue prior to the 1.11 patch.. The version code or whatever at the time I want to say had an M in it? (Heh, I just looked it up, it's a W. Checksum WQLL, definitely. I'm not dyslexic, I swear!). I did also have a couple random CTDs when clicking something (county or map display option) in the 1.103 patch that hasn't happened in the 1.11[1] patch yet.

This gets weirder... fore everyone else it seems to have been introduced with 1.11. I am certain that didn't have this before 1.11 since I've been playing almost every day the last months with the same setup.

Anyway, I hope the folks at Paradox can give us some info. any time soon.

I confirm that alt+tab not caused problems before 1.11.
Another details that can help is that problem is only if used change window with alt+tab, if it comes through the energy savings that do the lock-screen or overlay by Steam client has no problems.
Sorry for my bad english.

I just tried playing in windowed mode and switching windows with the built-in exposé triggered by the active corner of GNOME Shell and this doesn't trigger the issue. I guess this would work too with similar functions provided by Compiz or other systems that don't involve using alt+tab for switching windows.

Of course it's still an annoyance because it forces you to:
1. Play in windowed mode.
2. Not to use alt+tab, which is not that easy when you are used to do it all the time.

OK, I've been experimenting a little bit more with a couple of things I've been thinking of and I now know this:
1. The issue is triggered when, and only when, using exactly alt+tab in game.
2. Returning to the game with alt+tab (after switching to another window through another method) does not trigger the issue.
3. Using other method to switch windows does not trigger the issue. This applies too to other keybord combinations like super+tab that you can easily activate in your system configuration. This means that you can play fullscreen mode and use super+tab (or whatever other combination) to switch windows.

I hope this might be of some help.

Well, maybe it was just me, but I am very certain I did have the issue before the 1.11 patch, but not EVERY time I Alt+Tabbed out. I also don't have it EVERY time with the current patch, but it is very frequent, almost every time.

And it's not only for Alt+Tab. I have a Gmail notifier plugin in Firefox, and it popped up while I was in the game tonight. Clicking on it took me out of the game and to Firefox, and it triggered the bug. But then, maybe that's just me too.

Edit: I am using Cinnamon, if that makes any difference.

I can verify this issue showed up before August as well. I tried to make this my "background game" sometimes around late may or early June... and obviously, I cannot because it needs to be front-and-center all the time.
