YOU MONSTERS!!!!

I play VO on a Motorola Photon Q, this phone has a fantastic anachronistic slide-out hardware keyboard. It really is great, and kids these days will never know what they're missing!

Up until VO 1.8.369, I was able to use this keyboard to fly, chat, shoot, bind commands, navigate the menus, etc. Just like one would do on a PC platform. That seems to have stopped working entirely.

To make matters worse, if you have the on-screen keyboard disabled (as I do), and you make the mistake of launching from the station then touching the chat area on the HUD, you're left stuck in space, unable to chat, control your ship, or exit the chat prompt in any way. I tried the back button, touching multiple HUD buttons, etc. Nothing gets you out of the chat-entry black hole.

I had to kill the game to get anywhere.

Huh, I wonder what I changed that broke it for you. It was certainly not intentional.

Maybe the binds all got nuked somehow? Check the settings to see if they are still there.

I've had the mobile keyboard popping up randomly on undock, and I'm on PC

It's not the binds. keys don't even work in the text-entry fields in the PDA or other menus.

VikingRanger, do you have a gamepad plugged in?

no, I'm on a laptop, but I do have a joystick

This is working again as of Vendetta 1.8.372.

Strange. I don't recall doing anything, unless the tooltip problem was actually causing it somehow. Nothing else was changed that should have affected it, granted I don't know how the problem was created in the first place.

Thanks for the update.
