Since this issue doesn't happen on any Macs we have, I don't have many ways to make this go faster. Fixing minor bugs is not more important, but there are not many Mac developers on the team, so again, I don't know how to make this faster. You can play 0.15.40, that's why 0.16.x is experimental.

Please upload logs and screenshots from the About This Mac menu.

if u need anything else just ask

ps: its not possible to revert my current saves once i opened them in 16.x which i did before i found out whats going on and i am not in the mood to restart fresh in 15.x since my games are usually 50h+ . i could care less and move on what other players eventually already did without information after they found out the same bug

Still having problems selecting entities.
My machine spec attached. I use default scaling option in the System Settings/Display

Here's the screengrab of the bug in action:

I am having the same issue, rather annoying to say the least not to see it fixed 16.4. But I do appreciate the good work the Devs are doing!

Any workarounds?

Now playing 0.6.4 (build 34391, mac, steam) without any issues. Don't know what you did, don't care, must build! Thanks for an awesome game!

~~looks like it finally works now after a quick patch, thank you.~~

false alarm, not working still, it worked after i alt tabbed back to the game but as soon i moved the bug came back again

Moving this here from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=55081

I can't mouse over or click on anything that appears in an X position greater than about 1200. I can't pin it down to an exact number but it's somewhere around 1288 pixels. Mousing over resource tiles or buildings does not activate the right-hand overlay and doesn't show the outline that indicates what is being moused over, and clicking has no effect. It occurs both in normal mode and in map overview mode (or whatever it's called when you hit "m"). I've recorded a 20-second video showing the behaviour: https://youtu.be/EemWoFg3dQ4

The Y direction appears to be unaffected, or if it is then my monitor isn't tall enough to trigger it.

I have a widescreen display that's 2560x1080. This is Factorio 0.16.4 on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (15G18013)

I'm experiencing it on 0.16.4 on a macbook pro (so not an imac 5k). It's unaffected by alt-tabbing. Unlike diLuca who can only click in quadrant III mine appears to be after a fixed pixel width

thats interesting, your bug is different to mine but bottom line the same problem. and yeah, i can click everything as intended in "quadrant III" in character and on radar screen. everything else is not clickable in all other 3 quadrants on my screen.

Posted: **Sun Dec 17, 2017 3:40 pm**

another observation i made is that i can click all quadrants in crafting, game settings, chest etc -screens. the bug manifests only on the main-gamescreen (+ in radar)

Tested 0.16.5, bug still there.

But I got a few new discoveries.
When unable to select entity, cmd+tab to another window (Steam library in my case).
Go back to Factorio (with cmd+tab), and the bug is gone (50% of the time - sometimes I need to cmd+tab a couple of times)... Until I start clicking and dragging.

Maybe this'll help.

Log and About this Mac screenshot attached.

Another thread mentioned this thread about overwolf as a possible cause but I don't have overwolf installed, or anything like it.

I made another test build, can you try? factorio_alpha_0.16.6.dmg As usual, don't use this on your saves, compatibility is not guaranteed.

Holy unladen swallow.
It works.
Not only the bug is gone, but the graphics feel much smoother when walking around.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 3:29 pm**

i can confirm that this bug is gone after 2 hours playing the new test build 0.16.6.dmg

please release, thanks

out of interest, what was the problem?

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 4:22 pm**

Looks like broken detection of mouse leaving the window. Not sure though.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 6:42 pm**

another 4 hours, everything works, no gamebreaking bugs on iMac, good job.

I agree. Have not experienced the described problem. (macOS High Sierra, 10.13.2 - MacBook Pro, 15 inch, Retina)
