Keyboard stopped working - Specific to one save.

Post by Sgtinvictus20 »

So, I just loaded up my save (new one after 3.61 update) and I was just about to turn around to see how far my construction ship was into making a new module. Come to find out, none of my keys work, so I can't switch to mouse mode, clicking and holding doesn't work either. Using mods, but considering this problem only came up after playing for a bit after 3.61 came out. If someone has a fix for this problem, it would be nice to know. Also, already tried turning the controller crap off completely to no success.

Try going to the in-game Start Menu and select Settings, Controls, Load Profile, then select the default profile from the list.

Bind a key to Controls|Space|Expert Options|Command Line. You can then use that to enter the assorted magic, such as 'refreshui'. I use <shift>-f12..

I'm unsure that binding a key would help much if " .. none of my keys work, so ..".

Does it happen with earlier saves or just that last save? I assume other applications are unaffected? Have you verified your Rebirth gamefiles cache since the update?

I found in a couple of instances that while the rest of the k/b was locked out, I could still enter the command line & input debug commands, even if I couldn't see what I was typing..

It was just that one save. Since then I've already started a new game, and haven't encountered the problem again. Also, I verified the cache a couple times.

Probably a corruption in that save then. Let us know if it happens again. Enjoy the game and good luck.

echo off on UI. :o And? refreshui did work? :)
