Units unable to move

[markyavelli]

I recently purchased Pandora: First Contact for my iMac (running OS 10.9.5) - it's compatible with all listed specifications and the game appears to start normally. The problem is that none of the units appear to be capable of moving (original starting units or new ones that I've built). I've played many 4X games and have tried everything I can think of to move the units but no movement icon appears on the individual unit screens (ATV or colony troopers) - I've tried double clicking to the desired destination (no effect), dragging the unit to the desired location (no effect), hitting every key on the keyboard alone or in combination with CTRL or command or option. I've also verified the game file on the Steam site. Turns go by, I'm able to use my colonizer to create a city - but none of the new units I create can move. Any help would be very welcome since the game is basically non-functional without moveable units.

Is the game updated?

As updated as it would've been Monday when I purchased it. I verified that the files were correct on Thurs. If there's a link to an additional patch or update, I'm happy to follow up.

Just to be sure, what version are you running, is 1.4.3?

Looks like it is 1.4.3.

Hello markyavelli,

To move units you have to right-click on the destination tile. On Macs this is usually done by pressing the trackpad or magic mouse with two fingers instead of one.

Please let us know if that doesn't work.

Cheers,
Rok

No luck. I actually bought a magic mouse today to see if that would make a difference. I'm able to highlight units by right clicking on them, but nothing seems to make them move anywhere. When I tried right-clicking (or left, or both) after selecting a unit, nothing happens. Units remain in "Idle" mode and clicking on the mode status has no effect. None of the icons in the unit screen reflects capability of movement - just guard and hold and end turn. Is it possible that there was a glitch in the download which is hindering play?

So, what sould I do to move the units?
I can't update new version
I try to right-click on the destination tile, but no suff appear

Any one help?

For clarification:

* Left-clicking a unit selects it.
* Right-clicking a destination tile moves the selected unit.
* There is no move order button.

Does it help if you hold the right mouse button (two finger press) down for a second before releasing?

Something to look at is the mouse settings in OS X system preferences, it should specify how a right-click is performed (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18768).

Thank you, SephiRok - the last piece of the problem was in my not fully optimizing the new mouse. Once I changed the setting to a two button mouse format, the game worked. I appreciate your help and patience.
