This is my keyboard Layout (US International) on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium NL

(Using a Logitech KB120 desktop set)

Problem is that wen i installed the game all the keys work as they should, and keep working as normal for a while...

Than sudenly wen i try to Open chat with the "`" (Back Quote) key, is sudenly doesnt work, but if i than hit M to bring up the Map and Click with the Mouse on the Chat area to bring it up so i can type is apears as normal.

Same thing happens to my "=" (equals) key, sudenly its not working in controles anymore also, but wen typing in Chat it works fine...

Wen i open Controles the "`" and "=" key are still set there for the selected controle options, wen i try to reset/reconfigure them though the "`" apears instead as "Kanji" wich is not even a key, but a Japanese Word for the Chinese Language/Writing, and the "=" key apears as a "@"

First time this happened i was thinking it must be bacause of a corupt file or something, so i uninstalled IL2, cleared the folders etc. Reainstalled, Installed Patch 4.08, 4.09 and Redownload and Installed 4.10 from a difrent source, and everything seemed fine again...
Untill tonight wen i wanted to Adjust my mixture "=" is Increase Mixture and it didnt work, i than tried to open Chat with the "`" key and that did not work anymore also.
Typing after opening the Chat with my Mouse worked fine and the symbols apeared as they should be.

Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it? I been only able to get it working normal again after a complete reinstall and im not in the mood to reinstall the whole game every other day :-P

(p.s. i only installed 4.10 friday on a fresh unmodded install, and had to reinstall it saturday evning bacause of this, and now its doing it again)

Thank you for reading, I really hope someone can help me with this.

I use a Logitech G-15 key board and previously the EX110 keyboard and had the same problem.

I just mapped a different key and problem solved. But there probably is a proper fix for it.

I also have noticed that even typing on these message boards etc. when using the "" key I have to hit the space bar after typing the " or ' `keys.

Uninstalling and reinstalling is a very drastic step. I'll see what I can find out.

Its normal that if you use those markings that you have to push space to make them apear by them selfs because normaly you use them ontop of a letter like sò or sö etc. thats why you have to hit Space to bring up the symbol by it self, that goes for the `~ ^ ' " symbols.

Still those key should work fine wen there set to a Controle option, as ` is Default to bring up Chat in IL2.

Sinds your saying you got the same isue with your Logitech Keyboard also im gonna give my old Keyboard a shot later this week thats still laying at my moms place to see if thay also has this isue, What i than do not understand though, is Why it Changes in the midle of playing/flying?

I still hope someone knows how to fix this problem with out remaping etc.

I had my settings as English(Australia) - US International and when I changed it to English (Australia) - US it appears as now I can use the ` ' keys with out having to hit another key or use the space bar.

hope that helps.

I too am using W7 64 bit home Premium.

Its not related to that at all, the "`" and "=" are changed sudenly mid game to "Kanji" and "@", thats the problem here.

Wen i type in chat they apear normal, but wen i enter the Controles configuration In Game, and try to Reset the Key they apear Wrong as "Kanji" and "@"

I want to know Why/How this is posible from working fine like normal, to no longer working in the middle of a game, and how to fix/prevent this from happening.

(p.s. if i change my Languadge setting for the Keyboard from US-International to Nederlands (Dutch) the "`" key changes to "@" and the "=" to "°")

I got it fixed, dont ask me why or how but this is the Fix:

Go into your Device Manager and look for Human Input Devices, if theres a InfraRed HID device there Disable it.
Depending on what the Device is you might not be able to Disable it under HID, but you need to look for it under USB, Multimedia, Etc. Etc. than, and Disable it there. (Do NOT Unistall/Remove)

This also fixes the Crysis Console problem where the Console wont open anymore if you press the key that should be asigned to that (`~)
