not being able to click units

YES, All of that is happening to me, please fix!

Lag? Try refreshing it may help.

This is under investigation currently. As it doesn't happen to everyone or everywhere we are still gathering data on it.

If you notice patterns, such as "after I do "x" then I can't select units", Or "In several games I have trouble in a certain region" please post that here.

*this meant to go in the "Bug Reports" section of the forum but a Gremlin came onto my computer and clicked "questions and answers" instead and I had no time to react. so this was meant to be in bug reports

The devs are working on a fix for this already.

This is only occurring in enhanced graphics. The easiest solution for now is to disable the enhanced graphics from the settings menu in the lower right corner of the game.

Desktop users may have luck with using the shadow-loop selection method. Simply hold the right mouse button and draw a loop around the unit to select it. Generally a triangle shape works best.

So far I have seen that if you don’t cross the “map seam” your units are selectable as usual. This means that you should not scroll the map across the midpoint of the Pacific Ocean. If you go in the other direction you can select the units normally in many cases.

There can always be units stuck within the map seam, which is a slightly different issue, although the same alternate selection methods sometimes work.

There are many alternate methods of selecting units when directly clicking on them is ineffective:

You may hold down the right mouse button and circle the area to select the units. Sometimes a "triangle" motion works better than a circle motion. This will make a gray shadow and select all the units in the loop. In the case of planes: Having the circle include the airbase or carrier they are stationed from is necessary. You will then need to use the split command to separate the planes from the carrier or units at the airfield.

Or, For units with a known designation, such as AB12, you can use Ctrl +F and type in the unitID to select the unit. You may be able to determine the designation from newspaper reports or from the unit list as if you were going to trade an army to someone in diplomacy menu. All of your units will start with the same letter code.

Or, The units can be selected by cycling through the units with the left and right arrow keys until the desired unit is found. Typically if you start by selecting a nearby unit and use an arrow key you will get other units within view. In some cases reloading the game will freshen the list and sort order, and enable you to find the unit easier with this method.

The general unit selection problem (for units which are not near the map seam, which is another story) should be fixed.

do we get any gold for experiencing the problem

no, a lot of people(including me) has experienced the problem, Bytro would not give out gold like that...
