S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl Forum

I launched Stalker and went to the Controls panel in the Options. All actions were binded to "w" and I cannot setup
them manully or by clicking Use Defaults - same picture.

I went to Stalker's user configuration file and saw strange bindings - all controls were binded correctly, but keys had an extra "k" later. For example there were strings like: bind left kLEFT.

I removed CX, bottles, config files, wine stuff - everything from my mac. restarted, downloaded a new version of CX Games, installed, created a new bottle and launched Steam and then stalker. Absolutely same situation.

I've created a support ticket, but posted this info here - maybe I'm not alone :)

What Mac keyboard layout are you using? Does it help to (temporarily) switch to a U.S. keyboard layout before launching the game?

Also, how have you configured the Language and Format tabs of the International pane of System Preferences? In particular are you using matching language and "region" (the pop-up on the Format tab)? Is your format customized from the default for your region at all (for example, switching currency)?

Can you re-download CrossOver Games 7.0 and see if the problem goes away? It should be safe to switch back and forth between 7.0 and 7.1, so long as you don't run both at the same time. It shouldn't be necessary to remove or reinstall your bottles for this simple test.
