[15.9] [Harkonnen] Can not type "#" in login screen.

Post by kaysi92 »

Hi!

After i bought the game just recently, i couldn't log in in game. After a few try i realized that i can't write # in anywhere on the login screen. I had to copy paste my password from elsewhere. And i think it isn't the only special caracter witch the game can't recognice. Because if i copy paste only just # into my password, i still can't log in. I use Hungarian keybord (QWERTZ).

We don't restrict the password field to any characters. When I test I'm able to type the # character without any problems.

What language option are you using? Does it work if you try other language options (or if you have one - a different keyboard?)
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I use default English, but i tried Hungarian and other 3 language option in game. I tried both on my laptop and my desktop, but i couldn't type # in any cases.

1. Can you type it in train station name for example?
2. Are you running Windows?

I think it's some kind of "Alt Gr" problem in Allegro. To confirm - can you try emulating classic keyboard or smth like that when # is shift-3 and report if it works or not?
(we will solve this problem anyway, just would make it faster, so we look in the right place)
