coder1024 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I posted this to the bug thread, but wanted to also check and see if anyone else has run into this and found a workaround. When joining a MP server, shortly after takeoff, I lose all keyboard functions. None of the hotkeys work anymore. I suspect that this happened after I use the chat commands to type to the server and team channels, but I haven't verified that yet. Once it gets in this state, none of the keyboard commands work. Even hitting ESC doesn't work, you have to terminate the process in Task Mgr. Its as though the focus is stuck in the chat GUI maybe?

Panzertard Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Tap the modifier key you use for Team-chat. Most likely it's the RCTRL. Just tap it a couple of times, and it should be ok. The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
coder1024 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Thanks, I'll give that a try. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] coder1024 72nd Virtual Fighter Wing Falcon 4.0 Allied Force Pit Trainer FalconLobby
104th_Crunch Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Remap the Chat to Team key to 'y'. That way you are not using a modifier and it won't get stuck. If you do loose keyboard, alt-tab out and in.

That fixed it. I just need to tap RCtrl each time after typing something in team chat. Remap the Chat to Team key to 'y'. That way you are not using a modifier and it won't get stuck. If you do loose keyboard, alt-tab out and in. Good idea. Saves having to go tap the modifier each time.

Turco Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 the best workaround is to map "M" for multichat and "Y" for Teamchat. no more problems for me. goodluck.:smilewink: ECV56_TURCO http://www.ecv56condor.com.ar [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
