Issues fixed

Left Click orders

Some users are unable to use left clicks to order heroes around. The cause and fix aren't consistent among users, with suggestions to use Windowed mode, Enable compatibility mode for Windows 95, use command line parameters "-winxp -32bit".

If none of the solutions work, the workaround is to use the right-click command menu.
