Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
Hello, I´m using a Keyboard with a usual QWERTZ Layout and everytime I type a "y" in the search bar, a "z" appears (and aslo a "z" if i type a "y"), so it seems like an QWERTY Layout is used. It´s kinda annoying when you have to correct this almost every time you search for something. I tried it with a few profiles and it always was the same "error". Because it isn´t an error caused by a mod, i think i don´t need to post my game.log too. Maybe there are others who can check if this happens with other languages too, I´m using German and, like i said, a QWERTZ Keyboard.
Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
The game goes by the signal your keyboard is sending. That signal is not the same as what you get in your OS, it's getting a raw input number and that number is the same no matter if you have a QWERTZ or QWERTY keyboard.
You would have to hardware remap the keyboard for the game to (in it's current state) recognize the keypress as Z when you press the key where Y normally is.
Is this a bug?
Let me ask you this, would it be a bug if my PC didn't have a graphics card?
Hardware is your responsibility. Hence, this really belongs in feature requests.

Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
To the question if this is a bug.
If the game was made with proper recognition of different Keyboardlayouts, then yes this is a bug. (and so far i don't remember any game, besides flashgames, which do not support the qwertz layout properly)
If that is not the case then it may be not a bug.

Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
The game is centered around Europe including purchasers, I think that the German keyboard should be catered for.
Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
If the game was made to draw graphics on a monitor and you are using an 'etch a sketch' screen, you wouldn't complain about texture wrapping issues now would you?

Instead, you would request that the game support etch a sketch displays.

Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
If a common european input device works in a Windows OS without special interpretation software it should also work in game
If eg a new windows program didn't support either keyboard nor mouse would that be a feature request or a bug?
Buyer says bug seller says feature request ...

Then he should check his input language. It might be that he's using the English input language while playing the game.

Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
Pres ALT+SHIFT to toggle keyboard input languages. See if it fixes your issue.
Also, make sure the input language your keyboard was built for exists and is installed on your system.

Re: Z and Y swapped in Mod Manager
Unlike other screens with text input, the mod manager currently ignores the currently configured keyboard layout.

Should be fixed in some future update. Sorry for inconvenience.
