Cannot "hit fire" to start game anymore?

This just started today... in a practice session for UT99, it always said "hit fire to start" I do but it never starts.. and a multiplayer game with bots never starts nor do they join.. what happened? My mouse works fine in the menu but it doesn't "let me hit fire to start"....

Hm, all I can suggest is check your bindings again, to make sure Fire is still bound to your Left Button.

Maybe bind fire to a key and see if it works that way. Ya know, to see if it's the game or the mouse.

Also make sure the game is in focus! I was pretty startlet by the exact same phenomenon a few weeks ago when I was working with the unrealed and started the game from there to test my map but I couldn't press fire either. The game, although it was in full-screen mode, was not in focus. I alt-tabbed out of it and when I brought it back up it worked again.
