Unable to target anything on map

Feb 27, 2019 99Nation link
I did a search to see if my issue was reported but didnt find a suitable issue. I am currently unable to target anything within a sector. I've try loading a different ship, reloading the game, even restarting my phone.

This appears to be a static result failing to correspond with screen tapping. As the game is unplayable this way, please expedite any assistance asap.

Please and thank ya

So, you are on Android, is this presumption correct? What phone/model/android version?

Has it ever worked for you or is this a recent issue that has just cropped up?

Have you got any plugins installed? If so can you remove them all and try again. If not then cool.

Helps to answer these questions to help others help you.

This usually happens when you have a newer version of Droidbuttons installed. You're either going to have to work around it by using the sensor log to target, or uninstall Droidbuttons

Have you tried a touch screen testing app, like this one? (There are many of them, that's the first one that came up in a quick google search).

Sometimes certain regions of a screen will fail to take inputs as reliably. This is most common at the outside edges of the screen.

The edges are where the input digitizer contacts the rest of the phone, and a small physical "lift" or "shift" in the screen can cause contact issues.

Sometimes you can correct issues by pressing down on the edges of the screen (carefully, usually putting equal pressure on both sides of the screen simultaneously, and moving your thumbs around in parallel, so they start together at the top and then meet at the bottom. But, understand, it's at your own risk, and too much pressure can crack your screen).

Start with trying a touch screen tester app, first, and test in the area that's having the issue, just to see if that's the problem.
