Recently I have found the mouse click commands (left or right mouse clicks or "button down") in VoiceAttack will not work in the Total War: Warhammer game. I bought the game last year, and I had created many mouse click commands for it in VoiceAttack, which commands all worked perfectly for over six months. As of my playing the game yesterday; none of them work. The VoiceAttack click commands still work in other programs and games. Mouse movement by VoiceAttack still works in the Warhammer game, but mouse clicks do not. Click commands by the Windows Speech Recognition application do work in the game.
Changes?
[EDIT - As per my post below -- I figured out the problem arose with my update from version 1.5.8 to version 1.6+]
Trouble Shooting:
Here is what I have tried:
(1) option to direct clicks to "Active Window", "Total War: Warhammer", and even "Windows Shell Experience"
(2) adding as much as a 2 second pause between "left button down" and "left button release"
(3) removing all mouse movement and other commands (i.e., just a vanila "click" command)
(4) uninstalling and reinstalling VoiceAttack
(5) running the game in Window mode or Full Screen mode
(6) running VoiceAttack as "Administrator" (for all of the above)
(7) restarting game and restarting computer
(8 disconnecting joysticks, gamepads
(9) stopping anything that looked like an unnecessary background process in the Task Manager
(10) playing in DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 versions
I have not yet tried uninstalling and downloading/reinstalling the game or reinstalling my old Nvidia graphics card, but because either of those solutions take a few hours (and the old card is not something I want to return to permanently) I would like to avoid those solutions if possible.
I am running Windows 10 (64-bit) system with 16 MB of ram. The computer motherboard/CPU is six years old (due for rebuild in the next year or so when I get the time). No indication of any system problems (been running other games and programs without incident).
Any ideas or suggestions for other things to try?
Thanks
