Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Clicking avatars doesn't select characters

If I click on an avatar of a party member to select them, it doesn't select them. I have to double click. After I double click, it will select them and then it starts to work normally for a while. So sometimes I have use doble clicking and sometimes is just clicking enough.

I've had some problems clicking on a companion portrait to select them. Sometimes it doesn't seem to register and I need to try again. Does that sound like the same thing?

Same problem here. I already had to reload quite often just because the click to select another character did in fact not select another character.

The reason this happens is because of how they implemented click-and-drag (yes, this is the chain system rearing its ugly head again). If your mouse moves even a single pixel between mouse down and mouse up, it ignores the click. This is very easy to do by mistake as we all move our mouses very fast.

The fix for this is for Larian to properly check that your mouse moved more than a few pixels, like a deadzone, before it thinks that you're trying to drag.

In the meantime, once you understand what causes this, you can click a little more carefully =\
