Interesting problem, see if you've encountered it before...

So I've had SoaSE for over a month now, and have enjoyed it thoroughly throughout. However, just the other day I encountered a bewilderingly odd problem that had not appeared before... opposite button disorder.

Basically about an hour into a game the planet buttons either stop working or link to other ones. This naturally draws the game to an immediate close from my perspective as I can no longer build ships, build orbiting structures or improve planet conditions. I have no idea why it happens, or why it only just started to strike my games. So I guess my question is: has anyone else run into this peculiar glitch? A run-through of available postings suggests not, so I'd love an explanation and solution to my problem.

I am up-to-date on patches.

I have never encountered the problem of button switching, but I have noticed that sometimes the program decides to show the grid and the perimeter circles around the ships, no mattter what I have told it to show in the settings tab.

Next time I start up my computer and my SoaSE, I might not be able to use the group function for ships anymore, or everything might work as expected. So far I have not found a reason behind these errors, but they seem to be along the same line as your button-error.

Running Version 1.04 as well, weird.

I do not own SoaSE, but I have experienced a similar problem with Lego Starwars. After playing the game for a while, the controls would go crazy. In my case, the game had auto-reconfigured the controls to the keyboard. I ended up having to go back to the menu screen and reconfigure the controls to my game pad.

Not really sure if this will help, but I hope it does.

Does this only occur after a long session? I have not been able to replicate this yet but I do have the weekend to play more.
