    Updated to x3599, keyboard issues abound

    Hello,
    I updated today to x3599, and my activity is open, I have no number or letter key functionality. All "F" keys work, "Esc" works.
    Deleted everything, and reinstalled 1.1.1., same thing.
    Updated to x3599 again. Same thing.

    I did not reboot yet, because I am working on something else. I had this happen in the past, and can't remember if simply rebooting reset everything.

    Does anyone sle have issue with updates whacking keyboard functionality?

    Thanks much,
    Neil

      Not happened to me so far, and yours is the first case I have seen. What does happen is if you are working on something else, and minimise, focus does not return to the OR window unless you click on it. That gives the impression of non working keys.
      Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

          Sounds like your keyboard driver dumped on you or was taken over by another app and not released....

          I've had that happen before, and it took a reboot to get it back if you can't identify which process took it over.
          If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

              After Updating; To Boot or Not?

              Works fine for me here.
              According to the official 'Whats New' site 'X3599 did not modify anything to do with the keyboard. I always check at this site BEFORE I do any updating in case something goes wrong I will have some clue as to a possible cause. It's called due diligence and a single click gets you all the information. And yes, following Eric's advice of rebooting is mandatory when installing any update.

              best,

                  Hi guys,
                  A reboot did fix the issue. Not sure where my control got whacked, but it's working.
                  Now, If I can just figure out why OR hangs - on a whim - with that damn RENDER failure crap, I'd be golden.

                      Whenever I get the notice of an unstable upgrade , every few days , I go to Open Rails and download the version in question . Then save it in a " Version " directory . This way I keep recent past and present versions . If there is an installation problem whatsoever , I then install from my download . It is also good when there is a new problem that arises . You can just go back a version or two until you find where the problem started .It's only happened twice with me but sometimes I install from the D/L anyways if and when I wish .
                      Works for me .
