4.12.2 de-bugging

I have already sent this to the TD email but am reposting here to see if any others are having similar issues:

I have an unusual issue since installing the 4.12 patch - it went over a clean unmodded 4.11.1 and proved erratic at first: I had no sky or ground textures, just black but could see aircraft airfields etc, so I reapplied the 4.11.1 patch and redownloaded the 4.12 (via torrent the 2nd time) to make sure I had uncorrupted installs.

Every seemed to be fixed, except that I now cannot exit missions using the 'Esc' key. Troublesome to say the least!

All other keyboard commands work. I downloaded latest drivers for my GPU (GTX 560Ti, now running 320.18 drivers), have ensured my game .exe is being run as administrator in Windows 7 mode - my current OS - and even also tried running as XP SP 3 mode but still no luck and now I am bang out of ideas.

I'm running the game at 1920x1080x32 in Fullscreen with Wide FoV. I notice that I get a windows mouse cursor in game all the time, not just when I open my map; is windows somehow not recognising Il-2 as the primary program?

All other games including an HSFZ modded version of 4.11.1 do not have this problem and respond normally to the 'Esc' key; is there something I am missing?

Cheers again.

I will add that I have since done a full install from scratch, from dvd, applying all patches and manually converting the conf.ini and all user files and completely from default remapping my controls in case it was a compatibility issue with pulling over legacy .ini files and...

... the problem still persists. Given that i get a windows cursor even in mission, I'm assuming that somehow Il-2 is not getting priority for display or commands, yet all other keys work save the 'Esc'. I can open HSFX 6 immediately after and all functions normally.

It's a bit odd!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit: Extra information - the cursor in the GUI is standard windows white arrow not the yellow chevron normally associated with Il-2. Are you guys all getting the standard yellow chevron?
