Predeactor Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, As I now fly in DCS in an F/A-18C, I recently noticed that my "esc" key was getting ignored by the game since some days. I was ignoring the problem as I thought this would be resolved by simply restarting the game, but the issue keeps happening. Reproduction Step Note: I believe this is an issue on my side and you will be unable to reproduce this issue yourself. so... sorry for the trouble... Notes: Windows 11 A Razer keyboard Playing DCS using VR (Flags: --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR) There should be no overlapping programs that get inputs before DCS. Potential (Very unlikely) programs are: "Discord", "Razer Synapse" No buttons have been programmed in Razer Synapse Jump into any game (Singleplayer or multiplayer doesn't change anything). Get into your cockpit and fly for a bit. If tapping the "esc" key work, try playing with your control mapping OR fly for some time. After some moment, you'll be unable to open the End Mission menu using "esc". This is a very odd issue, I shouldn't have anything that change the key behavior and, I assume DCS get the key input, but just doesn't do anything here... No idea why this is happening, I don't believe there's any other key that overlaps "End Mission" (And it doesn't, no other key are bound to this function) nor is there any other functions that Echap is bound to. So... Have fun helping me, if you'd like, this is a though and annoying issue, and if anyone can help me, that would be SUPER appreciated! Thank for reading, sorry for being to this point, but here we are, sadly, that's how things are! Edited July 12, 2023 by Predeactor
buur Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 This is a known issue, search the forum for this topic and you will find a thread about it. There wasn't a solution other than a new install of the game as I remember. 1

There wasn't a solution other than a new install of the game as I remember. Re-installation is never necessary. Remove ALL mods, slow repair and rename the DCS folder in Saved Games will give you a fresh installation. Cheers! 1 1

If you're talking about BuzzLine's me_logbook.lua fix, this didn't work for me, the error was still happening, and so far, this is the only thread I've found about this issue… 18 hours ago, MAXsenna said: Re-installation is never necessary.

Will try, but the mods I have so far basically is about 3 custom liveries, and RCAF CF-18 Cockpit Textures, which would be very odd for textures to be bound to keys… right? As for a slow repair, I already tried that, and it didn't seem to change anything. Will try again and report of any change Slow repair result: Proposed to deleted documentation files only what a wonder... Edited July 13, 2023 by Predeactor Added slow repair result 1

This also removed SRS (As expected), but SRS shouldn't be the matter, I have nothing binded in SRS other than one command in my HOTAS for PTT... I'll see what could have caused this issue, which is, considering my installs, very odd. Maybe it's just a bound key that mess everything and I can't tell what? Anyhow, this was a huge help for a tiny change, thanks a lot for your help mate Fly safe 1

To narrow it down, you can copy folders from Saved Games back, one by one until you get the pro lem again. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
