Page : <1> :


Sometimes during a game I type in messages but when I press ENTER nothing is displayed on screen. This fault occasionally corrects itself when a new game starts. Does anybody know why? It is very frustrating when somebody is addressing me and I can't reply.

PEST,

I have an unorthdox way of fixing the problem as you play your game. Press the shift key many times until you get a Sticky Keys message. Press Cancel. Then you should be able to type text.

This method is full-proof. Don't know why and how it works. I guess I found it by accident. LOL.

BTW these instructions are for a PC.

Thanks Lauryn, I'll give it a try.

Also, if you start getting capitols, and you cant stop typing them and cant deleted them, hit shit twice, then enter twice, that will make it stop. And about your messages not appearing, it can be lag or what lauryn said.

Thanks Scotty, quite often when it happens I can only get capitals. Oh, and while you're here, please beam me up.

Ctrl + shift and ctrl + caps and ctrl + enter combinations work. I randomly hit them till THE CAPS go away

Thanks Bolo, I haven't had a chance to try any of these solutions yet, as per Murphy's Law, it hasn't happened again!
