[BUG][6.0 Beta 2] On loading game Keys do not work - resolved, Windows update issue

Post by alt3rn1ty » Sun, 29. Jan 23, 11:58

This did not happen with Beta 1, but I have now had it happen 4 times with Beta 2

On loading the game, the keyboard keys do not work at all. Not even the Esc key to get out of the game.
I have to use Ctrl + Alt + Del to get the Task Manager up and End Task on X4.exe.

On 2 occasions, I reloaded the game and the keyboard worked fine after a reload, but the 2 times I tried to reload the game this morning this work around did not work, and so I am left with an unplayable game.

Save game I am trying to load - https://www.dropbox.com/s/df8f95gt47xs8 ... ml.gz?dl=0

DXDiag + Vulkaninfo (this is newer than my previous DXDiags, due to NVidia Drivers and Vulkan receiving an update) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/o43qrecp59rwl ... 23.7z?dl=0

I have verified files (Using GOG Galaxy), no issues found. But I do not run the game with GOG Galaxy, Galaxy is closed and I run the game directly from X4.exe which is usually fine.

No third party mods in use in the history of this save game.

:headbang:

Guys this may not have been the game, just after posting the above report I got a notification of a Windows 11 update ..

2023-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022360)

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/top ... 41b0959403

"This update addresses an issue that might occur when the Input Method Editor (IME) is active. Applications might stop responding when you use the mouse and keyboard at the same time."

.. I just updated, rebooted, and then loaded the game over and over 5 times in a row = Seems to be there is no longer a problem.

Will keep this report open for a while in case I just had 5 lucky reloads. Its also unusual because surely this would have affected Beta 1 too until this Windows update came along :gruebel:

Windows man, I am so losing faith in Microsoft over the last couple of years. They seem to be getting better and better at messing things up.
