The Horrible Character Chat Bug!

[TheRenderMan]

Well I am fast typer... and while playing master sword.... I have this happen.

Hello2 how are yo2u and what2s going o@n with the fam2ily?2

This seems to only happen to me and a few other people but it only happens when I type and no one else.

Can someone please tell me who to fix that, cuz I am pretty sure I am not hitting any of those keys lol and I know that its not my computer.

Edit

And only 2s and @s come up it drives me insane!!!

It actually happens to everyone. If you backspace one character, everything will be put back to normal. It really messes up when you use the % sign

It's best not to pay attention to the actual text. It comes out just as you typed it, not as it has arrnaged it >_>

I think he means that his actual text shows up like that. I was in-game with this dude once and he also constantly had 2s pop up in his words.

It w2as very we2ird and he2 was constantly lik2e 'what 2is going o2n?' but non2e of 2us knew th2e fix.
Thothie, Thothie, we need backup!

Oh.. Well, isn't that the typical problem that we had with foreign keyboards or HL versions? I know it's foreign something or other >_>

Heh, I know you mean ingame, but if I didn't, I would think you were an idiot

I've got the same problem so I bound m to "say ?"

Feh, there is something screwy with the keyboard config in MSC - I suspect what it is, that it maybe using the old WON inputs still (this code is all so old and recycled). I think we had one other person with a european keyboard having issues with 2's repeatedly coming up, and similar screwyness.

For me, I just get laggy type, like I do at the HLDS console, causing me "to stic kspaces in od dspots" and such. Plus the % thing - I suspect the % thing is simply a function of the script system - it tries to put a var there.

Will add to ancient bug list. Not something I think I can fix anytime soon, not even sure where the text input is off hand.

Yep I got the same problem, It takes me like a minute to type a sentence when it should only take me a few seconds. I hope you can find out the problem.
