[BF4] Menu is unresponsive to mouse clicks
Since installing Battlefield 4 a couple of weeks ago, about 4 times out of 5 I cannot interact with any main-menu items (no highlight on hover, no click response) and therefore can’t start a game.
It’s very similar to the old Frostbite menu focus bug but none of the known fixes work.
System
- Minisforum X1 AI H255, AMD 780M iGPU (latest Adrenalin drivers)
- Windows 11 fully updated
- Single monitor, Gigabyte M28U
- Logi MK620 Combo USB mouse and keyboard (no gamepads, VR headsets, etc.)
What I’ve tried (no effect)
- Toggled Windows HDR on/off
- Ran BF4 as administrator
- Disabled EA App overlay and AMD overlay
- Tested many BF4 shortcut compatibility options (disable fullscreen optimizations, DPI scaling, etc.)
- Launched BF4 from desktop shortcut, EA App, and AMD Adrenalin
- Tried repairing the game in the EA app
- Toggled AMD Super Resolution on/off
Key symptom
If I connect via Windows Remote Desktop, the menu works perfectly and I can always launch a game. But on direct local input, the mouse moves but menu items never highlight and don’t respond to clicks.
Has anyone hit this behavior?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
