Help on Startup

Hello, I need some help with ut99 GoTY edition, everytime I press escape to begin the game (as the game asks me to) it closes out on its own.

Is there a way to prevent this? I really want to play and last time I played it had no problems whatsoever

If you start a game, DONT press ESC.
This message comes up if i loads to long. UT thinks, your starting nothing...so you can press ESC to start a new game.
Just dont pay attention to it.
Loading a online-map can take some minutes sometimes.

I think he means when he starts UT up.

I think he means when he starts UT up.

What he said, its just after the intro screen where she talks about UT, on the bottom of the screen it says press escape to begin, and instead of bringing the menu to select a file,options, etc it just closes out.

This is recent too though, when i first played it like 4 months ago it was all fine

Open your user.ini (in the System folder) and search after "esc" ...maybe theres a keybinding on it
e.g. esc=quit

Nope, it says "Escape=ShowMenu" I tried to change it to M= ShowMenu but that didn´t seem to work

Edit: I just swapped "Jump" and "ShowMenu" with escape and space bar, this time pressing space bar didn´t do anything and when I pressed Escape (which was set to jump) nothing happened either, not sure if this info helps

Ok then i have no idea why it doesnt work..
sorry

sorry

Thanks anyway, hopefully someone will...

Think it may have something to do with my keyboard itself? maybe something I can fix in control panel?

Have a look at your keybinds, esc might be set as exit or something.

When did you type that? I can't see it

[Shade]

Just scroll up...

[Dare]

Must have gone blind for a moment sorry

[omarlobo]

So no one knows yet?

Set another key to show the menu.
f1=showmenu
