Is it normal for save (when play testing the game is desktop version) to stop the game?

When I type 'save' in an online game it goes through the normal notifications about saving, then brings back up the input cursor for you to continue playing, but doing this when playing a game from the desktop version, the dialogue box pops up asking where you want to save the game, but on completing the save the dialogue box disappears and the file path of the saved game is displayed, but at this point the game is disabled and I cannot get the input cursor to show up again, giving me no option but to quit and reload.

Surely this isn't normal? Or does this only happen when play-testing an unfinished game?

Just set up a new game and tested this, and it works as I expect (just click back in the command box after saving) which tells me it's something wrong with my current project.

Can anyone hazard a guess as to why it won't re-trigger the input cursor after saving?

[EDIT] It does work, but because I hide the command box it isn't clear where I need to click to bring the cursor back up. Mmmmm.

Is it normal to type save and after inputting a path and name for your save to stop showing input box yes
Possible fix
click once inside of the project, does not matter where, as long as inside the project.
Press your Home button, then your End button.
This results in the project going straight back in the command box.

hope this helps you, if even a bit.

I've explained what the issue was in my second post, sirwacka.

Also your 'fix' puzzles me. Firstly there are no 'End' or 'Home' buttons in the Quest player. I don't even know what an 'End' button is. And if you're referring to the browser for when playing online, 'Save' doesn't save to your hard disk, and all 'Home' will do is direct the player to whatever website they have set as their home page in their browser settings.

I meant the literal End and Home buttons on your keyboard.

Ah, I see. I'll give that a try thank you, although it's not ideal because I suspect the majority of people who download the game won't know this is a way to get the cursor back.

So is it just me then? When other people test the save feature of their game in the desktop version, the cursor pops back up afterwards?

No it is not normal.

What I don't understand is why the cursor pops back up after saving in the online player, but not the desktop one. Unless it has something to do with the fact that the online version stores its saves on the Quest server (I believe) and the desktop one stores saves on your PC's hard drive.

I think the save dialogue box kills the cursor, but for whatever reason when I close the dialogue box I have to click back into the command box to bring the cursor back, and if there's no command box there because it's hidden with css, it can be tricky knowing where to click.
