Game controllers: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS431US433&ion=1&espv=&ie=UTF-8&q=game%20controller Google is an awesome wealth of information, even when there is NO information. Lack of info on something can tell you a lot about a topic. For example, when you google 'keyboard key7', there are almost no results that really match those search terms and are helpful. Almost everything with 'key7' points to coding/programming: https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS431US433&q=keyboard+key7&nirf=keyboard+keys&sa=X&ei=cpPNU4L5DIquyAS9pYGYBA&ved=0CB0Q8BYoAQ&biw=1365&bih=870 However, when you google 'game controller key7' you get a ton of results with those specific terms that make sense and provide information about defining key7 on a game controller: https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS431US433&q=game+controller+key7&nirf=game+controller+keys&sa=X&ei=75LNU_GpNcGHyATzy4CoBA&ved=0CB0Q8BYoAQ&biw=1365&bih=870 So, by deduction, you can see that a keyboard spitting out 'key7' in continuum key defs isn't a common keyboard problem that occurs in other games around the internet. By google NOT having information about a topic, you can tell whether it is a common problem with a common solution, or if it is just something oddly specific to your experience and not many others'. Now you can see why we suggested/asked if a game controller could be the culprit... 'key7' is commonly used when defining buttons/keys for them.

Not sure if it will solve your problem, but you don't need to right click to remove the binding prior to assign a new binding. Open your key defs, left click on Thor, hit spacebar. It should be that simple. If you are still getting the key7, then you just might be out of luck because that's something oddly specific to your setup. I have to agree with the response in your other thread on this topic, key7 sounds like a game controller assignment. Maybe unplug any game controllers/joysticks/etc. then reboot and try again.

So... been helping some people troubleshoot connection issues and it appears that directory servers all have a bad IP for Chaos: dirserver.ssnecentral.net sscentral.sscuservers.net ssdir.playsubspace.com All report Chaos at: IP: 66.235.184.102 port: 13500 Manually entering the following allows connection: IP: 66.36.247.83 port: 13500 (this was the IP/port that my Continuum has used since updating the zones after the DDoS) Not sure why the directory servers all have the wrong IP listed, and I didn't test any zones other than Chaos, but this needs fixing because new installs and anyone who tries to refresh the zone list are all screwed. Edit: Since this is the link provided when you enter Chaos as a reference to help people with connection problems, this may actually be hurting more than it helps.

I discovered this a couple years ago, also. Same problem, same solution.

The fonts remained screwy no matter what we tried, even with my custom res correctly set at 2x native (3360 x 2100) on the newest version. But I'm only one user, and we spent a good amount of time in-game trying to work the fonts out yesterday, so if everyone else is working fine, no harm, no foul.

I've popped in a few times since your post, but haven't managed to cross paths with you yet. You're using 'Weasal' right? Crescendo left me a ?message for a good idea, to try using the resizer at my default res, and see what that does. Lo and behold, there is an oddity. First off, simply setting the custom res in the resizer forced my lower windows taskbar to always be on top, even when in game. It basically looked like an active desktop, with no way to get the taskbar to go away. That was using all the same settings for everything in the previous posts/tests. I then turned 'chat window support' OFF in the resizer, and it fixed the problem, taskbar went away. That's when I noticed that the game's "full screen" was dropping a number of lines off the bottom of the screen. As you can see in the screenshot, there are 30 pixels of black space at the bottom (i measured it in photoshop), and the text/chat is cut in the middle of a line... where that line cuts off was the bottom of the monitor at full screen. 1650x1080 http://www.bargeld.us/storage/1650x1080.jpg Based on that, and the font wonkiness I've seen, it almost looks like there is a fixed value in the formula for the res to display that is off by that 30. Or possibly a weird percentage/division occurring. I'll continue to look for you in game. Edit: on a hunch, I checked the height of the Vista taskbar by taking a desktop screenshot and then pasting into photoshop and measuring: 46 pixels. Edit 2: Feel free to split my troubleshooting stuff off to a separate topic for general Resizer troubleshooting, in order to clean up the mouse aim topic. Sorry about that.

Large fonts do it too... 2048 x 1340: http://www.bargeld.us/storage/2048x1340_LF.jpg

Mouse aim (or lack thereof) is functioning correctly. As far as the fonts... I'll attach some examples, it's not just a function of the res being different because I use the resizer on my win7 laptop and it's not doing this. Also, whenever i take a screenshot, it seems to blow the screen buffer out to the resizer res setting and sets it as the capture size, but then places the visible screen at 1650 x 1080 as seen, and the first screenshot is always a solid black screen. Onscreen, the actual visible display on the monitor, the monitor sees a full screen image, none of the cropping problems occur, except in the screenshot output. "Show Default Resolutions" seems to have very odd behavior also, although it would take quite a long to time to fully describe it all. Let me know if you really want me to. Vista default res: 1650 x 1080 (16:10 aspect) Attempting: 2048 x 1340 http://www.bargeld.us/storage/2048x1340.jpg 2560 x 1676 http://www.bargeld.us/storage/2560x1676.jpg 3300 x 2160 http://www.bargeld.us/storage/3300x2160.jpg These are the original .bmp just converted to .jpg. Fonts are screwed in all, as can be seen.

Good job, doesn't crash out on my vista 64 anymore and the res change takes effect... BUT Cannot turn off Mouse Aim (when I deselect the option, the game starts and LR arrow keys do not function. As soon as you move the mouse, the dot appears and the ship rotates. Rotation function is not correct... It seems to move 2 or 3 ticks, then stops. Fonts are screwed no matter what advanced options, font size, or resolution that I set. (Page flipping, clipping, software emulation, force fonts to mem).

Stop giving a damn, you are making your avatar lie.
