Surviving Mars - no build menu (idselectedcat)

Description
no build menu (idselectedcat)


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
1010784 i think

What DLC do you have installed?
Green Planet, Below and Beyond

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When I open up a game, the build menu instantly closes when I press B (default build button) or just click on it and also I realised that it says idSelectedCat if I don't put my mouse on a button of it before the menu closes (if I do it once it never shows the id thing again). I saw other post 'bout this but I couldn't find my answer. Reinstalled the game, made new saves, checked mods but it didn't fix. I don't know if its related but two OLD mods by the known ChoGGi are undeletable too. And also like its not enough, when I disable the mods, I can't even move the camera! So I can't try it without mods.

Can you replicate the issue?
1-Open the game as always because I paid it 60.5₺ for that thing including DLC's. (That's a lot in my country)
2-Load a game save or start a new game.
3-Get angry because you now learned your game has problems.

What I'd suggest is a full clean reinstall of the game:

- move any valued save games elsewhere; they are under
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\{large number}\
- "uninstall" in Steam-Surviving Mars
- unsubscribe from ALL Mods in the Steam Workshop for this game
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Surviving Mars AND C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\ folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add MarsSteam.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam SM or AppData SM locations, before installing again.
