Hi,

I have a strange bug and I couldn't find any answer yet on the forums. Whenever I press and hold either Shift, Option or CTRL the game freezes until I release the button.

For instance when probe scanning I can move all probes by holding shift only for a part of a second and then the game freezes until I release shift.

Anybody else having this issue?

I'm running on a Late 2010 mac with Mountain Lion.

I am seeing the exact same issue. Video and mouse freeze while you hold it down, and a bit after you release, then the game comes back. Did you get a solution?

No, not yet. Ingame support told me to file a bug but i didn't do that yet. Will let you know.

Ok, potential lead.

I had run most of this before (I program most the day...). But I turned down the key repeat related things down. And now it doesn't freeze up on modifier keys. So.... I suppose it's related? Or not. We'll see.

Hi,

wow, it was the same reason for me. Setting another KeyRepeat value causes the game to freeze while shift, ctrl or option keys are pressed. I reverted with...

Quote:

defaults delete NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain InitialKeyRepeat


...and the problem was gone.
