Unable to research a new game engine

I’ve encountered a bug after getting a decent distance into the game. I hadn’t developed a new game engine because I didn’t have the funds until I released a game that sky-rocketed my business, and then I encountered a bug when I went to research a new game engine to where any time I tried to click onto it, it wouldn’t work no matter what I tried. So I uninstalled the game, deleted saves, turned off the steam cloud syncing thing, but to no avail. So the game is officially broken for me at the moment, and I can’t find a fix for it.

Are you using any mods?

No, I only had the official game dev tycoon api mod. Tried disabling it, which still didn’t work.

does this happen when you start a new game too?

So you can’t click on ‘New Engine’ button?
It should fix it self after restarting the game or making a new save.

I have this issue as well. I have restarted the game, even deleted the game conent and installed it again, no luck!
Sometime other research options doesn’t work either. Reasearch a new topic works most of the time, but sometime this doesn’t work either. If i start to develop a new game, afterwards some of the reaserch options are working again, however, never the game engine button. I can click it, but nothing ever happens. This makes the game not playable. This happend recently and have worked before, I am on Windows 10. Any suggestions, a bug?

are you sure you have enough research points?

Have you tried turning it on and off again

Perhaps research something else, then the engine?

Haha, thanks guys! I have been away from this game for too long, of course you are right!
Sorry for taking your time with this kind of crap, false bug report, thanks again!
