space and esc key not working in Steam version of app

1/6/2014 release: Ship.R45.0.CL167201,Data: 167819.0.167819.0 LIVE

Prior, the escape key used to back me out instead of manually hitting the tiny little back key with the mouse. Also, the space key would perform whatever action needed to be performed. Like in the "new prize" screen would move it to the next screen.

I'm hoping that it is a bug that is making them not work in the latest patch icon_e_smile.gif

  • This is terrible, I used them all the time. Pls fix icon_cry.gif
  • Was this meant to be disabled or just a bug? Its funny how something so small makes the game way more tedious.
  • Keyboard support was handy for skipping opponents during a tourney.
  • They also disabled XBOX controller support.

    I honestly think they uploaded the Touch version to Steam and they forgot to enable Keyb & Joystick support.
  • I find myself surprised at just how annoying this is - I wouldn't have thought the very limited keyboard support was so important, but it really is!
  • Just curious, is this something that was purposefully removed or just bugged?

    Hey All,

    The keyboard functionality is something that was mistakenly removed from the game during a recent update. There are plans to put this functionality back into the game. Unfortunately, I don't have an estimate on when this will happen.

    As for support of the Xbox 360 controller, this was purposely removed. There were a number of issues caused by using the controller and it was becoming overly problematic trying to resolve these issues. So the decision was made to remove support completely. As far as I know, there are not currently any plants to add Xbox 360 controller support again in the future.

    Thanks!
  • D3 speaks! Thanks muchly for the update. Really glad to hear keyboard controls left only by accident.
  • Yup, thanks for a response!
  • Thanks for the reply icon_e_smile.gif

    No problem. I'll try to give a heads up when the fix has been implemented. Though we should hopefully, list the fix in the 'gone live' announcement for the patch that will eventually include the change.

    Thanks
  • Please please please try and include XBOX Controller support again.

    I had no problems using it.

    Now I lose WAY too much time skipping opponents on PvP and switching Tabs in-game. It was really useful, though bugged.
