AHHH The Left Shift !!!!!!!!

[tiny toad]

AHHHHH...I still have not been able to complete a game of MOO3, first I got the `directx thingy` when trying to load a saved game, this is fixed by deleting a few save games and NOW...........either my galaxy map or war map after a couple of turns decides to shift to either the left or the bottom of the screen and it stays there!!!!!!. this was particularly fustrating last night as I was engaged in a war on the battle map and suddenly everything decided to move to the left...oh hum....
Is this bug fixable????
and is it listed on the `Many things to do long awaited code patch`
.....AND is it only me or has anybody else suffered this????

OK, I don't have the game so I don't know if this is the problem but I remember a few years back when I had a similar problem whilst playing Mechwarrior. I control the mech with mouse and keyboard only. After a while I realised it was my very cheap analog joystick playing up so I disconnected the depressing thing and all was fine again.

I don't reckon MOO3 takes input from joystick so this is a long shot.

Sorry I can't do better but some reply is better than none, eh?

I've never heard of this one but if you want support you'll find a lot more active users on the QS boards. If their boards hate you (like they hate me) then emailing QS/IG support direct is probably your best bet.

I've never seen anyone here mention a problem like that. All I can offer is the standard advice to disconnect anything you don't need, switch off any autoloading software like virus checkers which you won't need if playing single player and then checking you're on the latest version of drivers for your sound and video.

left shift

This happened to me a bunch, it comes from ending your turn while the galactic map is scrolling. I THINK it is fixed by ending your turn in one of the spreadsheet-style screens that can't scroll. Try the "Planets" screen.

If that doesn't work, then just pound on the keyboard with all your might.

Ah Ha....Many Thanks Mr Ben, I shall try your Solution tonight and let the forum know tommorrow..........

Played about 20 turns last night and it seems to work!!!! if I just leave it on the planets screen then hit the turn button this problem SEEMS to go away, I`ll try it again tonight...many thanks for the tip

How do you cause the galaxy map to scroll and end your turn at the same time?
