Factorio Forums

Hi there,
as in the Subject. Once I type an Umlaut in the input box (see attached image), It is no longer possible to type or click anything, while the game continues to run normally. This can only be solved by killing the factorio.exe via task manager, and starting again.

I'm on Win7 (see attached log for details), and I believe that this may be caused by the Steam and/or Discord overlay. So it may not be Factorio's bug, but it probably affects quite a few players.
Mods are loaded, but after deactivating them I can still reproduce the problem.

Hello, what keyboard layout are you using?
Does the issue persist if you disable Discord overlay?

Hi,
thanks for your reply, it's the regular German keyboard.
I removed the Discord overlay and it does not happen since then (hence the suggestion that this is the reason). Anyway, I don't think this is the way the overlay should work in the first place, but I don't know whether it's a problem of Factorio or Discord.

Ah, that's Discord bug. It injects itself into games not really giving choice if we want it to or not.
