May 15, 20187 yr I haven't seen this mentioned before, but it certainly is a bit annoying for me. I have encountered dozens and dozens (probably over a hundred by now) magnifying glass examine icons that I can't reach no matter how close I'm standing (regardless of approach to the icon). And I don't mean that a few sit just outside the walkmesh or along map peripheries. There are plenty of unreachable mag glasses in the middle of small rooms, for instance. Am I the only one reading everything, or am I just unlucky UI-wise here? My suggestion is making that UI hitbox bigger.

May 15, 20187 yr Am I the only one reading everything, or am I just unlucky UI-wise here? My suggestion is making that UI hitbox bigger. I've noticed this too. I don't think it's a matter of being able to 'reach' the areas per se (although there might be some proximity check on some of them??). But in my case it's more like it's 'difficult' to click on the magnifying glass icon sometimes. 99% of the time I can do it tho while holding the 'tab' key, not sure if this is universal or not, but I have yet to come across one that really bent me out of shape not being able to read. Not sure if it's because I can eventually read them 100% of the time, or if I don't care that much 100% of the time. I'll try to pay closer attention and post again if I have any stupendous discoveries.. Edit: hahha, I spoke too soon. It just so happened that my last save location had one that I couldn't click on.. See screenshot attached This is on the map "Imperial Command - Lower" In the Brass Citadel in Nakataka.., Edited May 15, 20187 yr by tid242
May 15, 20187 yr Author I'm glad you brought up the Tab trick. I used that on a few, and it worked - but for most of them, it didn't help. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
May 15, 20187 yr Yeah, I've also encountered a few magnifying glass icons like that. "Some ideas are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them." -- attributed to George Orwell
May 17, 20187 yr This one in the Valera Estate in Neketaka is unclickable as well. that one certainly doesn't appear to have anything to do with not being able to get close enough..
May 17, 20187 yr I've experienced a similar problem but I've noticed that when I clicked the icon with tab the description text was added to dialogues log even if it wasn't displayed on the main "screen", floating on the activator. Edited May 17, 20187 yr by Daled
May 17, 20187 yr Author After a while, I noticed that too. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

I've noticed that too, so I always flip to that tab when nothing shows up. Clearly these things don't work right though. But thankfully using Tab key + speech tab and most/all things show up.
June 18, 20187 yr Hi IndiraLightfoot, We were having issues with examinables in earlier patches that we worked on for Patch 1.1 and may not have resolved it all. If you do run into an issue please create individual posts with images would help Best, -Caleb I like big bugs and I cannot lie...
