Spring RTS Engine

I can t use shift + f1 @ the same time anymore...

This is annoying because i can t see the highmap while giving buildorders.

this is only my problem ?

also got that problem

It's a problem with the shift key not working in windows 98. Is that the operating system you have?

Windows 98 + spring = no no

windows 98 + anything = no no

windows 98 + internet connection = huge no no

There's no excuse for keeping a 9x OS installed on a computer connected to the net

I understand that for one reason or another you are very displeased with windows 98, but what I find odd and think can easily be fixed is that something as simple as the shift key not working is not something that someone would concider a big task to fix.

I can understand the whole game not running at all on windows 98. But the game runs perfectely on my windows 98. In fact, I even managed to trick some so called windows xp only compatible programs to install on windows and it had absolutely no problems with them at all.

I would just like to point out that a simple key support for windows 98 users has been taken off, and ask that the developers (I am not a developer myself so I do not know how hard something like this is to fix) fix this, from my perspective, simple problem so that we may all have a positive gameplay experience as well as fair game experience.

lets hope that the responsible developer is not brainwashed by microsoft (like AF ). I think it is a 5 minute job for a experienced programmer to add "shift-support", maybe by allowing the user to bind the "shift-functionality" to another key.

BTW, have you ever played Doom 3 on win98? It is not supported by id, but there is an patch that makes it playable. And guess how many bytes it patches? Yes, only one byte. [irony] Lets thank id and build a temple for bill.[/irony]

None of the devs use windows 98 and for good reason.

Yes, allowing the shift key to be changed could also be a solution.

Windows 98 is super old, microsoft no longer provide any kind of support with it. So why should the spring devs?

wow i dont even remember how the win 98 installation looked like

HEY, LETS CLICK ON A RANDOM LINK, WHILE IN '98!!!

BTW when your computer decides to crap all over itself, make a point to come back here and talk about how good 98 is m'kay?

So wait are you now just calling every single windows 98 user an idiot? And a noob?
