Tilde doesn't bring up server info in MP on new laptop

Post by Wasp89 »

I have a new Toshiba Satellite laptop. The "~" key does not bring up the server info in MP or the FPS info in SP. I've had a similar problem in other games, which leads me to believe that the laptop assigns keys differently. Is there a file that I can edit to assign the "~" key to bring up the server info?

Thanks,

Yup, from the instructions:

- Some keyboards may not support the tilde key input for the status key. The scroll lock key can also be used and you can also customize the key. Create a text file in the game's folder (usually C:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary) with the filename statkey.txt and in the first line, enter the 'scancode' number of the key you want to use. A list of the scancodes for each key is available at http://www.starwraith.com/evochronreneg ... ndcode.gif

Thanks Vice. Should've known that it would be in the instructions. I'll have a thorough look at them next time I have an issue.

Thanks again!
