[Bug] Entering @ on a UK keyboard opens the console

Postby Adam » Thu Jun 20, 2013 10:09 pm

Steps:

1. Run the game.
2. Attempt to enter "@", with a UK keyboard (standard version) http://puu.sh/3kFf8.png
3. Result:

I found this whilst trying to enter my email, it seems that the program itself is using a US keyboard (But my keyboard settings never change in Windows..) as I could enter an @ symbol with shift + 2, which is " for us in the UK.

Repeatability: 100% on the title screen. Also works with " ' " (the same key, sans shift modifier.)
I repeated the same action whilst picking the campaign, and came back to this window (Running in windowed mode), and when I returned to SotS, it had stopped responding. Not sure if it's because I left that console open for a while (A couple of minutes?)

This is with the Steam version, so I posted it here.

Amusing anecdote: I found this bug/issue before I even learned General Akamoto's name, which made registering here moderately amusing xD;

Confirmed I get this as well on a UK Keyboard.

The work around is change to the US keyboard in your control panel - regional settings and use the " for the @

Needs sorting though

Or as I said, just press shift and 2, which is the US keyboard's @.
You can do this without changing ANYTHING at all.

The game just uses a US keyboard layout, without changing the regional settings.

Apologies, missed that. Yes pressing shift 2 on the current keyboard would be a better solution.

I thought I had tried that but must have missed it

No problem, just making sure you knew about the easier way ^^
