Thank you for the report!

To be clear, you mean none of the keys (like W, A, S, D or E) aren't working anywhere except the chat? I wonder if it could have something to do with your keybinds (for example, some of those keys being accidentally bound to something else, or some conflict between the chat hotkeys and some of those keys)? Have you tried resetting the keybinds? In any case, I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

Very occationally these keys stop working for me aswell (default bindings), though I could never figure out what causes it.

I double checked key bindings in settings. Somehow bug fix itself cause now issue is gone. Udrakan says it happens sometimes, maybe it happens to my game as well.

Hello! I have some problem, 1:1. I have Linux and I can only use Space. Other keys, like W, A... - doesn't work (they work only in chat). When I try set keybindings in settings and press any of this keys - I see None instead of pressed key.

This only happens after loading the level. When I run the game and go to the settings from main menu - everything works as it should. But when I load the level, I can no longer move, and a second call to the settings shows None instead of the key pressed.

P. S. I also found 4 some problems in Steam, all in Linux and Mac. Looks like not rare problem. Please help us T_T

I conducted experiments to figure out the error.

I have not yet found the reasons for this error, but here is what I noticed. If english is the default language when starting the game, then keystrokes are processed correctly. Then, when changing the language, everything continues to work.

But if the language at startup is russian, then instead of the keys pressed in the settings, I see "None", and the keys themselves work only in chat, but not in the game. And changing the language to english does not help.

@MAH69IK Thank you for the extra information! We'll give this another test with the language set to Russian and see if we can get to the bottom of the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I found this!

I don’t think that a specific language affects the problem - during the tests I left only english in the system and the problem still appeared.

But I found a key combination that breaks the operation of all the letter keys. And, most importantly, fixing the problem! :tada:

* drum roll *

Alt+Shift+Number!

I must add that the Alt + Shift combination switches the language in my system. I did not test the behavior with another combination to change the language.

Extra detail. I don’t know if this is important, but just in case I’ll mention it. In my system, I have 4 ways to enter numbers. This is a built-in laptop keyboard (where there is also a NumPad block), an external keyboard and a mouse that has 12 side keys corresponding to a row from 1 to =. This combination has an effect in all cases except the use of an external keyboard :man_shrugging: .

I can reproduce this and indeed it\s caused by cyrillic keyboard layouts. When game is launched with english layout and switched to russian(legacy) layout everything still works. Issue comes when game is launched with russian layout, movement controls don't work at all. This also happens with japanese(kana) layout.

Tested if it was translation related, but changing language didn't effect anything. Problem lies somewhere what is loaded during startup.

Keyboard input doesn't change between different layouts-

akeycode  30 press
keycode  30 release

фkeycode  30 press
keycode  30 release

チkeycode  30 press
keycode  30 release

This was very helpful for me as I am using a Greek layout, not Cyrillic, yet different. I alt+shifted back and forth while in game and it was fixed without restarting.
