#Camera anchor 1 and 3 do not save.

Trying to use the camera anchor points is driving me a little crazy.
I am using uikeys.txt with grid as a base, everything related to the cameras is bound correctly as per the original file and I even tried copying and/or moving it up and down in the file at various times and triple-checked that nothing overides them like plugins and other bind calls.

When ingame Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+F3 to save camera, subsequently pressing F1 or F3 does not have a saved camera.

However, Ctrl+F2 and Ctrl+F4 seem to work just fine, every time.

I have been able to Ctrl+F1 a few times successfully, but it doesnt last the whole game and if I start a new game it continues to not work.

I have tried 5 different keyboards and they all present the same problem and there is nothing funny going on with my computer if I bind those keypresses to other global shortcuts.

[ Sorry if this is posted multiple times, my app is misbehaving. I also think I posted this months ago and removed multiple copies of it but the last one never posted. ]

Ok, you informed you have a custom uikeys.txt so debugging this is more involved

#

Type /keydebug in chat, press enter, press ctrl+f1, type /keydebug again, press enter again, then share the output (should be present in infolog.txt).

it's fine to resolve here, consider #⌨｜keybinding-support next time, issues with custom keys very rarely are an actual bug, rather some misconfiguration or lack of support for a more involved user need

just go to the bottom and search up, I fiddled with the /keydebug restarted the game and then did as requested.
I didn't realise it uploaded so many logs 😅

#

Oh, to add to this. I have changed back to standard grid keys in the controls menu, the problem is the same.

The game received ctrl+f2 as you noted, but at any moment it did not receive ctrl+f1. There's something acting before the game receives this action handling, either some custom widget if you use one or something on your operating system (an application) eating ctrl+f1 before it goes into the game.

Can you issue ctrl+f1 anywhere except bar?

yeah I did F1 2 3 4
only 2 and 4 work, 1 and 3 are ignored.

#

I can use them for other programs just fine.

keep looking, he is saying it's a problem not with bar... autohotkey, help dialogues from another program?

#

something else is intercepting your keypress before it gets to BAR

New information again. I have just discovered that if I run the game exe with admin UAC this problem goes away and all 4 anchors work perfectly.

cool

#

Glad you got this figured out

#

For things like these, they very often aren't actual bugs, but its cool this channel is for support

#

I just recommend #⌨｜keybinding-support, we have a special place for either custom bindings or bindings issues

#

I only found this by luck (sometimes I sweep this channel but not guaranteed I'll help folks with bindings issues)

proper quail
#

I was able to also get them working by changing the mod key from Ctrl to Shift
But ideally I would leave the binds default.

#

why on earth would run as administrator fix it though

#

Anyway, for me this issue is resolved, feel free to chat on #⌨｜keybinding-support if you want

proper quail
#

yeah, when I am playing vs AI or with my friends i'll just elevate the exe.
not sure how i feel about running in open lobbies with it though.

Necro 🙂
Parsec was in the background at the time, but I tried with basically nothing running but the game.... And whatever crap windows can't run without. I edited the windows startup configuration to basically run nothing and the issue was the same. I have been on Linux for months now.

Works fine.
