This is an odd problem that I really can't understand. I am running windows 7 and geneforge is the GOG version.
I've owned the Geneforge series for a few years but never played all the games; I've only ever actually opened the first 2 games. The last week I've decided to beat the whole lot of them starting from 1 again.
Everything worked perfectly. I saved and quit the game.
I came back today to continue my save and none of the keyboard keys are working. I can't press f to start a battle, I can't press f10 to quicksave I can't press esc to bring up the menu, etc.
Geneforge 2 was the same when I tried to test a save file in there. If I start a new game it is also the same.
I fired up geneforge 3 and 4 since I had never ever opened the files before. Each time I got a single button press and then the keys stopped working.
The odd thing though, is that whatever button I pressed it would tigger the bottom right button on the GUI; quick action slot 4.
In GF 3 pressed 'f' and quick action slot 4 triggered, then nothing else worked.
In GF 4 I pressed esc and quick action slot 4 triggered but then nothing else happened.
My keyboard is working, I can type this. I can alt-tab out of GF but that is the only command I can do. Nothing else seems to be affected and despite all my internet searches nothing seems to match my problem. (ie. I don't have quicken installed and nothing in my system has changed from this week to the last).
EDIT: Nearly 30 views; does anyone have an opinion on this or what I can do? Even some sort of a guess as to how I can fix this would be appreciated.
