Keyboard not working.

[Gordon Brittas]

Hi, for some reason my keyboard is not working in Civ 6? eg F does not fortify...
Is this a common problem, and if it is, anybody know how to resolve it.

Thanks...

Usually when this happens to me I can tab out and back and it'll be fine. However, I'm having it happen right now and even save/reload hasn't "fixed" it. Pretty damned annoying.

I also wish they'd fix the Aero compatability issue that was in Civ 5 as well - where your system warns you that you're low on resources even though that isn't remotely possible.

Hmm, interestingly after that save/reload and it still not working, I typed the post above then went back in game, and now the game's keyboard shortcuts are working again. Sigh.

I've had this happen but only very rarely (once or twice a month). It has happened with all the updates so far. About the only keyboard strokes I use are the spacebar (to end the unit's turn) and B (to found a city with a settler). I'm using a Mac, but judging from the dates of the earlier posts it also happens (or happened) on Windows. Tabbing out and back and save/reload haven't fixed it, but if I start a new game it has always so far been OK.

I've found what appears to be the trigger for this bug.

In general, I prefer to play on my own, not online, especially if I'm a fair distance into a game. If I'm invited to a multi-player game and reply to the effect of "No thanks", the keyboard shortcuts stop working. However, if I ignore the message there are no problems.

Apologies to anyone who invited me and was ignored!
