changing modes by accident

[day]

I often change modes by accident, when scrolling the map. I don't actually click on an army or one of the hemispheres of a city or cityscape, but if the mouse is positioned over one when released, the mode still changes. Does anyone else have this problem? I would find the map easier to use if I had to actually click on an army or city/scape to change modes.

I find it can be quite tricky to not end up in military mode clicking on towns sometimes.

There's a few regions where the the little gold box for military units in the town/fort is, for some reason, quite some distance from the town rather than adjacent like normal. In those ares it's the opposite problem and almost impossible to select your army

As for changing modes when you release the mouse button, what are you trying to do that you would be holding the button if you don't want to click?

I can't say I've had that specific problem with the map, as I don't click to scroll the map - but I have similar problems when I try to move a window (e.g. the Trade "T" window or the Assets "B" window) - I have to move the mouse very slowly, otherwise the mouse will "slip" off the window, the drag will stop, and I will end up clicking beside it. Also when I want to click something I need to click "slowly" (waiting a moment to release the mouse button) or sometimes it doesn't register - there definitely seems to be something wonky with the mouse handling.

It's annoying, but minor relative to other bugs with the game.

I hold down the left button to reposition the map. If I release it when the mouse is over the wrong half of a cityscape or countryside, that registers as a click and changes the mode. I should mention that I'm running the game in d3d9fullscreen mode. I wouldn't have noticed this issue otherwise, because I'd be using the arrow keys to reposition the map.

Tuoweit, I was having similar problems with the trade and balance windows, but switching to d3d9fullscreen fixed that. I've been using the following settings...

VGN\Settings\display.txt:[INDENT]
ScreenWidth = Default
ScreenHeight = Default
ScreenDepth = Default
ScreenFrequency = Default
FullScreen = 0
Windowed = 0
Borderless = 1

D3D9FullScreen = 1
sysVSynch= 0
sysMultiSampling = 0[/INDENT]


VGN\Settings\display.txt:[INDENT]
Use3D = 1[/INDENT]

I've noticed a similar problem with the balance window. I'm still learning how to play, so I like to open the balance window and then wander around the world, checking the trade areas. I usually reposition the map with the mouse, and if I release the button while the pointer is over a resource in the balance window, this registers as a click. I end up buying or selling ten units of whatever resource was under the pointer, without meaning to.
