I run Windows 10. I was initially having an issue where my mouse wouldn't control my viewing angle in-game, but this was resolved by launching the game as administrator. While launched as administrator, my mouse works but pressing the escape key just brings up a white dot cursor with no menu.
Also, when I attempt to breed plants, the animation with the two strands of genetic material merging into the central location doesn't end. It just keeps going indefinitely, with no new plant growth.
These issues have continued despite restarting the game and restarting my machine. I have a 4k monitor, and attempted to lower my resolution to 1080p to see if this could have been a factor, but it made no difference. Any idea what could be causing these issues, or what I could potentially try in order to resolve them?
