Wierd bug: 'enter' not working

Post by Sleopold »

Hello, I really hope that there are some nice people out there who can help me!

I just downloaded and installed the Mecc demo of Giants, and installation and everything went without any problems whatsoever. Also, there are no problems with the game during initial startup, the problem occurs when actually having to 'get started':
In the first menu, where one is asked to input a name for the first player profile, I am unable to do so. I can write the name, no problem, but when i press the 'enter' key, nothing happens. I've tried every other key on my keyboard and every single one of them works without problem, but not enter!

I have searched various forums, but I haven't found a solution for the problem, not even someone with the same problem. My computer is a laptop, Acer Aspire 7730, it's not even 3 months old, and so far there's been no problems with it. Also, Giants seems to be the only game/program that doesn't respond to the 'enter' key.

Anyone who has experienced the same problem or have an idea as how to solve this annoying problem?

If you're running Vista, try pressing the alt key once. Patch 1.5 should solve this problem.

I just tried running both a virus and spy- and malware scan, and both revealed nothing. The key still did not respond.

I do have vista, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. Guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for the 1.5 patch to be released :)

This is getting frustrating :?

Now I've dl'ed the full version of the game, installed patch 1.4, giantshook, grm and the problem is still there :(

Is there any .ini file or the like in which you can make a player profile, without having to actually open the game?
