This dude nails it

It’s funny. I step back and look at this, with Bethesda clearly trying to do something new and slick with their interface, and then I look at the Diablo III beta. And I realise that RPG back-ends work in a certain way for a good reason: we need information. And we need it immediately. And we don’t want faff about scrolling, or getting full-screen renders of the apple in question. We just want the goddamn thing to work – to compare hammer stats, to show us what armour we have, or could have. Diablo III does little that is new with its menus and interface, but it is always RIGHT THERE, and you know what you need. Hit the key and read off the info. Simple! And as a result the experience is silky. The difference here seems to be that Blizzard actually pay attention to the fact that their games are going to come out on the PC. Sure, Bethesda have their hapless console chums to think about, but that should not be at the expense of their fiercest, most loyal, and most creative fanbase. We needed a PC interface. We did not get one.

If you're using the PC version, this UI mod is pretty good.

I installed SkyUI last night. The UI is awesome! But I still have a gamebreaking bug and I am about to ragequit.

Basically, I get stuck on certain menus AND I CANNOT FUCKING GET OUT OF THEM NO MATTER WHAT I DO. I have to Ctrl + Alt + Del and shut down the client to get out of the game.

The first time it happened to me, it happened on the World Map. I accidentally clicked a blank space on the world map itself (not a town but just a random open area) and got to the place where you set a marker/waypoint. After this marker is placed the following screen appears:



When I see this screen, I know I'm screwed. No matter which of those three choices I click (Remove It, Leave It, Move It) absolutely NOTHING happens. None of the options at the bottom of the screen work, either. I am completely stuck on this screen and have to shut down the client and restart to get back in (usually I have lost progress when this happens). I assumed that it was limited to the World Map screen so I decided I'd be super careful and not do that waypoint/marker thing again and maybe everything would be okay. However, I tried Alchemy and got the same thing:



Clicking "OK" there does nothing, hitting TAB does nothing (in fact, I have tried every key on my keyboard to no avail) and once again I am stuck and have to shut down the client to get out of there.

Note that the screen is not locked up here...I can freely move my cursor and click til my heart's content (the choices even indicate that they have been selected when I click on them, just nothing happens). I assumed that it was a simple matter of reassigning hotkeys but I cannot find where to do this for menus. Please tell me SOMEONE else has had this problem...I've posted it on several different forums and nobody seems to know wtf the problem is or how to fix it.
