Longstanding Left Mouse Click Issue in Game Menus – Seeking Long-Term Solution

Good evening,

I’m reaching out regarding a persistent and increasingly frequent issue I’ve been experiencing over the past several years—specifically, with the left mouse button not registering in the main game menus. Notably, this problem does not affect general gameplay; it appears to be isolated to the game’s UI menus.

Issue Summary:

  • The left mouse button becomes unresponsive in menus.
  • This does not affect gameplay controls.
  • A workaround has been using both left and right mouse buttons simultaneously, which enables limited functionality—though clearly not as intended by the game’s design.

Known Triggers:

  • Alt-tabbing out of the game
  • Mid-match interruptions (occasional)
  • Launching/loading into the game

Temporary Fixes That Have Worked:

  • Verifying game files
  • Resetting to default controls or reloading a saved control profile
  • Toggling between windowed and fullscreen mode
  • Disabling/uninstalling overlays (Discord, Overwolf, Steam, etc.)
  • Restarting the game
  • Restarting the computer
  • Reinstalling the game (both directly and via the Gaijin launcher)
  • Reinstalling/updating all relevant drivers

As you can see, I’ve explored a wide range of workarounds. While some provide temporary relief, they are far from a permanent or convenient solution. Given the ongoing nature of this problem, and the fact that many others have reported similar experiences, I’m hoping to find a long-term resolution rather than another short-term fix.

System Specifications:

  • Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.30 GHz
  • RAM: 64 GB
  • Storage:
    • Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
    • WDC 4TB HDD
    • WDC 3TB HDD
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16 GB)

I appreciate any guidance or insight the community or developers can offer on this issue. I’ve thoroughly reviewed the previously reported cases—both on the old and current forums—and compiled the above list based on that research.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to a more permanent solution.

Best regards,
