Bug in UI related to popups (in this case Skype)

Post by Joe »

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could try and recreate this for me (although its not an easy one).
When I'm playing Grimrock, if someone I know signs in to skype I can't use my bottom-right character.
Clicking on the character's abilities does nothing, but then if I alt-tab out I can see the skype notification in exactly the same location as where the bottom-right character is.
Once the skype notification goes away, the character becomes usable again.

Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Thanks

Joe

Yeah there was another thread about it, notifications like this cause similar problem with many games. (Outlook popups do the same) It's Skype/Outlook that is at fault rather than LoG.

Only suggestion I can make is to disable your popups while playing LoG.
