ouT-Phaze Report post Posted January 30, 2011 I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, which I've heard works fine for many people, but for me it's like I can't give keyboard input. I can't type in my character or asset name to start a new game. I'm using a Logitech G19, have also tried a Logitech G15 and a Razer Widow to no avail.

ShoHashi Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Did you use your mouse to click in the input fields before you typed? You say you are running Windows 7 64-bit. Just a FYI, take a look at this thread. -Sho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a FYI, take a look at this thread. -Sho Yes I did. It doesn't seem to matter where I click, it seems to do absolutely nothing, I can't type, all I can do is change the options. And I already know that the game isn't supported for Vista and Windows 7, but it seems that most people aren't having many issues other than crashing, which is an issue I'm not having at all.

ouT-Phaze Report post Posted January 30, 2011 I also notice that I have the same problem in Battlecruiser Millenium D: These are the only two games I have that do this, out of the hundreds. Anyone have any clues as to what could fix this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canshow Report post Posted January 30, 2011 um Try running it in compatibility mode. If that doesn't work, then i'm not sure. You can try re-puggling your keyboard when you're in that screen. If you haven't restarted your computer at all, then do that. Which version of which game are you running? Newer ones tend to be more stable and full less of bugs...

RT Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Are you forcing AntiAliasing in the card's control panel? If so, disable it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouT-Phaze Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Are you forcing AntiAliasing in the card's control panel? If so, disable it. Nah, I thought of that. I'm still fiddling with it, I got it to type a single letter once under Asset, but still nothing in the name, and only got it to type one letter, once. :C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RT Report post Posted January 30, 2011 If you're not forcing it on the drivr, try turning off antialiasing in the game options also if it's on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RT Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Oh, wildlife, that's quite an old version of UC Well obviously this is not an AA issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouT-Phaze Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Oh, wildlife, that's quite an old version of UC Well obviously this is not an AA issue. There's a newer version than the free released singleplayer? The latest patches I see on 3000AD's site don't list higher than this version D: What's the latest version? I'm half-tempted to just buy the newest version if I have to and install it on an XP virtual machine if the newest release doesn't work on Win7 for me, but I'm not sure if that will help my issue. Does the fact that my keyboard is USB and not PS/2 have any hold on the issue? I know some older games have issues with USB peripherals (though I guess my mouse wouldn't work either, wouldn't it?)

Oh man you don't know what your missing out. There are two latest versions of UC. UCCE 1.14 and 1.2 1.14 is new and fixes most bugs. 1.20 is the newest and it features entirely new graphics. Not recommended if your graphics card sucks. This is a standalone upgrade. If you want to go to/back to the 1.14 patch, you will need to reinstall the entire game all over again and then patch it to 1.14. Both have much more versatility than the free version.

RT Report post Posted January 31, 2011 I bet my post was a bit misleading, IIRC the free version of UC is the latest version but not the latest installment in the series. The latest installment is UC:CE, as canshow pointed out. Before that were UC:AWA and UC:SE, which all feature a reworked graphics engine, but don't have the wildlife you can find in UC. Anyway, this is irrelevant to the topic. I'll try to think some more about what's causing you trouble with your input. Btw, did you check if maybe that would be a display issue only? As in, type in some junk (you're in the AE's name field), press enter, type in some more junk (you're now in the asset name field), then try to start the game? The game will refuse to start if the character name is empty (doesn't care about the craft's name, if it's empty it defaults to "NONE"). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted January 31, 2011 I moved this topic out of the tech support forum because it is a very old and unsupported title. Issues related to text not appearing in that version of the game, are related to AA issues. You need to turn that off in your video driver's control panel because no such settings exist for this early version of the game because we did not implement AA in that graphics engine. Anyway, try running it in compatibility mode and see if it works, but basically this is a 2004 game and no guaranteed to work on Win7. If you want to run this game series in Win7, then you should consider buying either Universal Combat CE or Universal Combat CE v2.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never force it through my driver, because that doesn't work very waell in many of the games I play. As I said, I'll definitely be picking up a copy, just been waiting til payday on Friday (which leads directly to my first weekend off of work in a while So many hours will be spent in UC ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Buying it fixed it LOL!! Thanks for your support. I think probably the updated graphics engine in the latest version resolves that issue in the older version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
