Power trays 2 & 3 not usable

[Jerdoggiedog]

I've been having an unusual experience with my powers trays.  Any power in tray 2 or 3, if I click on them I get multiple copies of "dragging power x" and the sound goes quiet but the power doesn't activate or toggle.  I also can't use inspirations or press the "+" to spawn more trays.  If there are other trays open already I can use powers in them.  I can also swap powers into trays 2&3 so the powers I need move to a usable tray and I can use them.

 

Just relogging doesn't fix, but restarting Tequila and relogging does.  This has happened to multiple toons.

At a guess, it sounds like you've got a corrupted download.

Might want to force your Tequila to do a scan of files to repair anything that's gone ... wonky ... on you.

 

Worst case scenario, you may need to clean load your Tequila and game client.

This has happened literally every single time in a very repeatable way, since as far back as 2010, for me. Here's a fun way to demonstrate. Play the game in windowed mode. Then Alt-tab to another window smaller than the CoH window. Then left click -back- into the CoH window by clicking on a power. The power will not activate, but it'll act as if you click-dragged that power into that slot 50 times or so, showing "dragging power x" in the system text.

 

If I were you, I'd alt tab and see if there's an open window approximately where that tray comes up. I am betting you have something like a Steam overlay or Messenger pop up that you're not seeing in the lower right corner. (I will note that in full screen mode, Tray 1 is at the bottom and is where the task bar would be. But tray 2 and 3 is right over that, where pop up notifications from Windows and other software will pop up for you.) It's possible that another window is interfering with the game interface. Another way to check is to just move the power tray to another part of the screen and try clicking.

I figured it out.  Notification Center was popping up but not showing any display.
