Air to Air combat dialogue box levels problem

Post by BrianSchick »

Hi,
I get an intermittent hang in the air to air combat phases. Sometimes, the dialogue box with the button to click to move on doesn't show, and there's nowhere to click. Maybe its hiding under the air combat form?
Brian.

This happens to me all the time. The boxes need to be staggered and moveable.

So far, F10 has worked for me...or FN - F10.

I know what F10 is, but don't understand what you mean by "FN - F10".
I thought I knew how to play this game....

FN key is a 'function' key on some keyboards (mostly laptops?). So "FN - F10" means pressing them both as a combo. Or so I assume.

Thank you. I just discovered that my keyboard has an fn key, to the right of the left cntl key. I have no idea what, if anything, it does.

I have a lap top. The F keys are secondary to others across the top. For example, the F10 key is secondary to the + volume (default if you press the key). To get at the F10, I have to first press the FN key, hold it down while pressing the F10 key.

So, I'm guessing you have keys doing double duty...this is how you get at the non-default ones.

It's a very difficult bug to trace. I've got it a lot of times. If you really get stuck, you can used the windows task manager to refresh the screen. That's (apart from the mentioned solutions already), the last resort available.
