boyington2 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I'm dealing with a strange Esc key (also Tab key) behavior in Multiplayer. If i start DCS (OB) and jump directly in a multiplayer server, my Esc key doesn't work (need to kill the DCS process to quit) If i start DCS (OB), start a single player mission (doesn't matter which one), just hit Esc key and return to Main menu, start a multiplayer session, Esc key works perfectly. I don't understand where this is coming from. I've tried to erase my Saved Game folder, repair DCS, keybinding reset ... nothing seems to work. If someone can help me, it's quite annoying to always start a single player mission and after go to Multiplayer. Thanks Edited November 27, 2021 by boyington2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I tried to remove the default "End mission" binding of the "UI Layer" category (Escape key) but doing so disables the "end mission menu" for SP as well. Therefore, I have no clue where your issue is coming from. Edited November 28, 2021 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Flappie Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) A wild guess: are you using an MP-oriented mod with dedicated bindings, such as SRS? If so, please check your controls. Maybe the Escape key gets intercepted by said mod. In SRS, Escape is keyboard button "2". Edited November 29, 2021 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Flappie Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Great. Thanks for your feedback. @buure Let us know if reinstalling the game fixes the issue for you as well.

michigunn Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I have exactly the same problem - launching a workable multiplayer session is possible only after starting the single mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Can you please attach your Export.lua script? If you have one, it is located here: "Saved Games/DCS.../Scripts/Export.lua".

buur Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 @FlappieExport.lua Did not find the time for reinstalling. But I can send you my export.lua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Thanks, I see you have DCS-BIOS installed. I was thinking maybe there could be an issue with your scripts. Please try this: Rename your Export.lua file so the game cannot find it (say, "Export.lua.bak"). Launch DCS, enter a multiplayer server and try your Escape key. Does it work?

buur Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 @Flappie I've tried it but it is not working. I have the same issue also with renaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 OK. You should consider a "slow" DCS repair (no need to reinstall the game). Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buur Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Ok, I never mentioned but I have the steam version. I've done a steam repair but it doesn't help for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I found two scripts using the 'Esc' key in the main DCS folder: DCS World\Config\Input\UiLayer\keyboard\default.lua (Esc = 'Exploration cancel') DCS World\Config\Input\Explorations\keyboard\default.lua (Esc = 'End mission') Delete these, then run a new Steam repair.

buur Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Done, but it is also not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Please ensure both files were re-created after the repair. If so, I have no more ideas at the moment. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buur Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I can confirm that both files were re-created. Ok, I can live with the fix opening a single player mission before multiplayer. Maybe I found the time fore a re-install at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaiskool Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 As Flappie ask me to continu my thread here: --------------------------------------------- i have a problem that is driving me crazy. When i launch dcs, join multiplayer serv, my esc key doesn't work. i have to ctrl alt supp to quit the game. When i launch dcs, play solo, quit, then join multi, my key is working. I have no F.....clue how this can happen. My files looks good, input, keyboard etc etc, i have done clean Up then repair, and looks like the only fix is to launch solo game, press ESC to check then join multi. I would like to know if any of you already had that problem? ---------------------------------------------- To avoid that i have to launch a solo mission, test the esc key, then join the serv i want to play, looks like it's working, but dude that way too restrictive.

Ironhand Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 ESC doesn’t work in MP sessions. Do other key commands work? Just wondering if the issue is the window loosing focus?

Flappie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I've jusy tested this to be sure: Escape key does work in MP sessions. @plaiskool Ironhand is right. Try to add a button or another key to the "End mission" command from the "UI Layer" category. Does it work in MP? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.
