v 1.6.1.3 broke the game - not responding to keyboard and mouse - WORKAROUND FOUND

Hi. First I want to thank you for all your efforts! I absolutely love PR!
The today's update v1.6.1.3 broke the game for me completely.
After loading a map, game will show spawn screen and won't respond neither to mouse nor key input, not even "Escape". I would hear game voice notifications (we're being overrun etc.) and text notifications "enemy captured X".
Maps I tested: Kafr Halab BETA AAS and Falluja INS and Ramiel INS. So it's not a map issue at all.
My graphics: Intel HD second generation (g860 integrated).
OS: Windows 7

P.S. 1.6-1.6.1.2 appears to also have introduced a minor bug where the server list would not be updated upon first clicking or opening the servers dialogue. Secondly, I once exprienced an eternal disconnecting menu.

Update: The issue persists after rebooting. The issue persists after completely uninstalling and completely resinstalling the game.
Update 2: upon deleting profile and recovering it from the web (not sure how exactly it works), game is back to normal.

We have barely changed anything client side in 1.6.1.3

Well, it persists after rebooting. It may have been caused by a bug in the updater, then.

We aren't even capable of making such changes. We don't recompile this game.

Have you updated your windows 10 to build 2004 recently?

They include incompatibility with older Nvidia graphics cards running driver 358.00 and older, breaking mouse input with apps and games

No, I'm running Windows 7 x64 bit.

My take is that the PR updater somehow borked my PR install this time.

Update: I completely reinstalled the game only to encounter the same bug: after loading a map and showing the spawn screen, game would not respond to ANY keyboard and mouse input.

I had this happen to me before 1.6, on a specific player profile (it was windowed btw) this happened but all other player profiles worked fine. Have you tried changing the profile and see if anything changes? If I remember correctly it happened out of the blue, and it solved itself out of the blue at some point too.

I deleted the profile, then recovered it online via login menu, and everything is back to normal now. Thank you!
