Starting HaloCE on Steam causes the ingame OS menu (F7) to not function properly #6

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add Halo Custom edition as a non-supported game on Steam
2. Run Halo Custom edition from Steam
3. Join a game
4. Press F7

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is that the OS menu pops up when the F7 key is pressed and remains 
present until the F7 keys is pressed again.

Instead, the OS menu blinks and disappears right away. 
Pressing any of the numbers (1,2,3,4) keys does not work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v3.0.0 on windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
I added -console to my Halo Custom Edition steam shortcut.

Presently, we reference the game's own input state (via Input::GetKeyState) to 
determine when we should pull up the menu and such. If you try to use other 
Function-mapped actions, like Show Scores or MOTD stuff, it will do the exact 
same thing. If you play the game without OS enabled, the problem still persist. 
More than likely this is due to how Steam intercepts the DX Input.

So really, this is a Steam problem (as like say, it applies to everything 
mapped to Function keys in the game).

I've submitted a support ticket to Steam in hopes that they can fix this issue 
themselves.

Got a reply back from Steam on my ticket:

Welp
