Astrodon_John Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hey! New to the series--I'm about 3 hours into Awakening and enjoying it so far, but I've been plagued by a really annoying bug. When a battle initiates (and occasionally mid-battle at the start of a turn) I can't select any characters with the cursor. It just pulls up the menu screen as if I selected an empty space. I have to restart the game and pull up my bookmark/save for it to work properly. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I can't find any reference to this issue online. Thanks!

TheSilentChloey Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Have you already moved the units before trying to select them? Or is this occuring when you haven't moved your units at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrodon_John Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hey! This problem always occurs before I've moved the unit--they're not "greyed" out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Strange... is this the physical (cartridge) or digital version of the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrodon_John Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Physical cartridge--I bought it used but the seller did not experience the same problem. Very strange, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilentChloey Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hmm, this is the first time I've heard of this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hmmm. . .if it's physical, then it opens up a giant can of worms. The question is, which worm is it? I'm just gonna spew out every possibility I can think of. Perhaps it's one of these, or perhaps it's something else altogether. Would like some input~! 1. Is it possible to bootleg 3DS games? I know there were some very convincing DS bootlegs! 2. Perhaps the cartridge itself has a problem (something both internal and near-impossible to catch). 3. Do other cartridge games work? There's an outside chance that it's a problem with the 3DS. 4. Is your 3DS firmware up-to-date? 5. I have no idea WTF I'm talking about. Gut tells me it's the second one, but there's no way to be absolutely certain. The best I can do is eliminate possibilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrodon_John Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 The firmware is up-to-date and I haven't experienced anything similar with other games, so I'm gonna go with a cartridge issue. I'll try to get a refund from the seller. Thanks for all the advice everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The very first thing I'd try to make sure it's a problem with the cart is to try the cart on another 3ds... or if you know someone with an Awakening cart, try theirs on your 3ds to eliminate the other possibilities.

Astrodon_John Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hey, so I tried the cart on my friend's 3ds and guess what--no issues! Thanks for the tip, must mean I'm looking at a hardware issue. How very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
