Anything special about the "5" key? #222

Closed WesCov closed 1 year ago

WesCov commented 1 year ago

I have been running Mig Alley for several months now (thanks to your help) and all of a sudden key presses of the keyboard "5" are being ignored but only during the simulation. In the preferences interface the 5 produces input. Because it only happens during simulation I wondered if there was some special function assigned to the number 5 in the ddraw.dll.

In DDrawCompat.ini I have the line ConfigHotkey=none to disable the Shift F11 hot key but nothing to do with 5.

If I delete the settings.mig file the issue goes away until I restart the game (settings.mig is created during program close). I don't know what the implications are of that.

No, there is nothing special about the 5 key. The only hotkey currently handled by DDrawCompat is the ConfigHotkey. If everything was working fine previously, then maybe you installed some other software whose hotkeys are interfering?

Thanks. It is so strange. It works fine for one session, but after closing the game and restarting the issue pops up. Thanks for the reply so I can cross one thing off the list.
