In multi-player games keyboard shortcuts don't work

[Violin]

Perhaps a new bug shows in 2.2 RC 1.
In multi-player games, most keyboard shortcuts do not work. When you press a key, you are told that cheats are disabled in multi-player games.
Only a part of the shortcuts cannot work, for example, "R", "Ctrl + R" and ",".
Group assignment works. F1 ~ F6 works.
That happens every time when playing multi-player games, but never happens when playing single-player games, including campaigns and skirmishes.

I just tried, and all the shortcuts I tested still worked in a MP game?
Try resetting your keymap?

I have tried deleting the keymap file. And a friend of mine has the same problem.

If I remember correctly, you're using Windows Vista, probably English since our Chinese support hasn't been fixed.

Maybe it has to do with Chinese keyboard settings?

I have tried renaming the folder "Warzone 2100 2.2" under "Documents" and launching the game starting a MP game without altering any settings, the problem still exists. Please check the screendump, in which I selected the two trucks and pressed "R".
I am wondering whether there is a debug mode in which the game would feedback which key it thinks the user has pressed.

You have a good memory! I will have more investigations on that, if I have time.
At last I find that perhaps this post ought to be posted in the "Help / Troubleshooting" forum. Sorry for that.

Can you try changing your keyboard settings to "English (US)" and see if you still have this problem? (Control Panel -> look for something resembling language options)

use --debug all, and that will spit out the keycodes it is sending, the log will be pretty huge though.

I tried that. The problem still exists. I will do more investigations if I have time.
