Alt B not working for me.

[Bullock]

I am most likely just doing something wrong.

I installed the game at home and at work (to test) and in both places
when I mine and hold down the ALT Key then B to lock the beam to do it on it's own, it just stops going. I've tried holding it down for over a minute to see if it was timed, but no luck. Weird thing is it worked one time when I first did it and then no go. Now I just rig a pencil with a weight on it.

Any help?

Thanks.

You just need to press Alt-B to activate it in 'locked' mode automatically. You don't need to hold it/them down at all. Just hold Alt, then tap B, then release both to leave them activated. The beam will reach full strength in locked mode on its own. Then just press B by itself to disengage when you're ready.

Check the key bindings as well so you haven't messed
it up without knowing. ;-)
