HP Keyboard volume buttons

Post by Chamberlain »

I have an HP keyboard with a 'volume up' and 'volume down' keys. What I have noticed is if I do not set my volume for the game high before I start it, these 2 volume keys do not work with the game running. Not sure why as it worked with TC2M and other games fine, could it be something internal in the game?
Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hard to tell. Sounds like a conflict between the game and your machine. I've never had problems with the volume buttons on my Lenovo laptop. Norb will have to chime in on this one.

Try on the next patch. I did try to change the way input is done, mostly to support foreign keyboards.
