It let's me type it in, and scroll over to the button, just doesn't actually press the button. I've tried restarting the game multiple times......so frustrating!
it didnt work for me at first, so i had to clear it out and type it in again and press the button to the right of it. Make sure you type in "playercommand Ascend2"
I was told stuff like that could be related to internet problems on your end. Poor connection, nay issues things like that. Not sure if it's true or not.
