Spring no longer recognizes shift key

Ever since upgrading to the latest version of Spring, it seems my shift key won't work in-game. I even tried unbinding it in the UIkeys file, no luck.

It's a pain since I can't queue anything or even quit. Is the usual function assigned to shift bindable to another key, at least as a temporary workaround?

I have the same problem. Playing without quees is like hell, it's nearly impossible to win.

This problem occurs only in latest 0.72b1. In 0.71b1 everything was ok, I upgraded then this error occurs, I downloaded full 0.72b1 still SHIFT is out.

Many people don't have this problem so they can crash me easily.

Playing on windows 98se polish edition.

Same problem here. Windows 98SE I tried changing the shift key bind to z, but it did nothing. I have to exit the game by ctrl-alt-del

But why only shift doesn't work, and it appeared in version published only a few days later thant previous one?

Of course we have no voice, we are only a small group of user who only talk about problemwhich occurs no win98/me, but personaly I think that upgrading system is solution similar to killing a fly with a rocket launcher.

Win98 for me in only for games and for net I'm using linux.

AF, your explanation is... not enouth technical

Maybe developers got money from MS

?

Haha I like that.

But yeah seriously why the shift key? What changes occured in the new version that would create a problem like this?

same problem, I run windows ME. Shift key not working = no good at all. Not worth playing at this point.

Spring RTS Engine

Spring no longer recognizes shift key
