Ok i've searched and checked and found no report on this but yet found several people with the same issue.

When loading the game and going to click play or back, the buttons don't work - there's a small section that is clickable.
It only happens after the 'live background' changes and can be cleared by moving the menu or clicking the search button.

It appears to so far only affect me when starting a new multiplayer game, that screen the 'Back' and 'Play' buttons become unclickable once the background image changes.

I'm sure it's not intended?

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=91686, i think you are on the wrong UI scale as well.

Happens to me as well in 1.1.1
I have scale to automatic (100%)

repro steps:
start the game
click Multiplayer
click Host new game
click Next
click Next
wait for simulation to change
Play and Back buttons are now unresponsive
(ESC or E works, also using the scrollbar makes the buttons to respond again)

Isn't this essentially a duplicate of that one?

There is a hidden UI element that jumps to the front when the simulation changes. You cannot click through that UI element, which is why the buttons don't respond.
