Fledgling Fyora Kevin Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Game: Geneforge 5 OS: Mac OS10.6.4 Hardware: iMac 2.16 duo core Problem is that keyboard stops working after some (undetermined) play time. I did find: http://www.spiderwebforums.com/forum/ubb...rue#Post152475. If I quit out and restart the game everything is back to working, so this isn't a show stopper... more just an irritation! But, I am not using Quicken. I think I installed Quicken a long time ago but it was rubbish so got ditched. I have had no problems with A6 which I played just recently. And I had Safari, and Mail open when playing. I played through the demo without any problems, only seems to have started when I registered... though could be coincidence. If anyone has any thoughts it would be most appreciated, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Try quitting Mail when you're going to play. I seem to recall that it can also take control of the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Kevin Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Tried running withoutMail and all seems to be well, I will need to do a test with Mail running to see if that is the issue. Bit of a weird bug isn't it? Cheers Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Skomer Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 For the record, I'm having the same problem. Most recently started when I option-tabbed away from G5 and started Firefox. I never run Mail or Quicken. The problem isn't fixed by restarting G5, but quitting G5, then quitting Firefox, then restarting G5 then Firefox did it.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I thought it was command-tab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Originally Posted By: Celtic Minstrel I thought it was command-tab? Alt+tab on Windows. What is the "command" key you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 But he said "option-tab", and Windows doesn't have an option key (well, usually), so I assumed he was on Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Skomer Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (she) Mac, yes. I mean doing the same thing as alt-tab on Windows. Truth is I don't know the name of the key so I probably got it wrong. The one with the apple and funny squiggle on it. Could be option, command, apple-key. Dunno. "A key by any other name..."

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 It's the command key. The oddity didn't even register with me, because I run Windows via Boot Camp, so on my keyboard, in order to alt-tab away, I actually DO have at option-tab away.

Option is actually the key to the left of that key; it's also labelled alt on newer keyboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
