Question on Menu Overlap, Purchasing Weapons
First off, congrats to the 'Re'makers of Privateer.
One thing I noticed is that all new menu selections (saves, purchases, etc) overlay the old, so there is a jumble of text on the screen. Also, none of the subsystem images (for weapons, jump drive, etc) appear in the purchase window. I have been able to work around this so far, but I'd like to be able to see the images.
Here's my real problem: When I try to buy a Tractor Beam, it displays:
Select mount for your item:
1 Heat Seeker
2 Heat Seeker
3 (Empty) LIGHT MEDIUM HEAVY
4 Laser
Ok Cancel
However, the only menu options that I can click on are "Ok" or "Cancel". I cannot click on any of the 4 options, nor does anything happen when I hit any of the numbers on my keyboard (keypad or otherwise).
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I have not tried? I welcome any suggestions. This is a great game, and I would really like to be able to upgrade my ship.
