I haven't had a chance to try out Patch 5 yet, but didn't see any mention of this in the change log: I can't bind any controls to Right Shift. If I hit Right Shift in the keyboard configuration page, it binds to Left Shift instead.

As it has been said before, when playing in spanish some names inside the dialogs are replaced with a Not Found Message.

Game still causes my router to reset everytime i go to the multiplayer screen after about 10-20 seconds.

toastandjam · 01-31-2011, 11:41 AM

The game has just *poof* disappeared mid-play twice since the patch. Also, in challege, we had a non-existant 3rd player included in the lobby and in-game. This was a locked, private room.

Specs:
Windows XP x64 Professional ver2003 SP2
Core2Duo E8500
4GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 1GB

My DXDiag is too large to post. How can I attach\post?

Errorlogs for the incidents:

Still can't skip some dialogues (even though the Skip option appears), such as the dialogues before and after the boss in Chapter 6.

This isn't really a crash report, but i'm playing a The Glade Challenge with my two friends. I'm hosting and everything is fine in my computer, but my friends don't see them other. They can see my character though.

EDIT: Further gaming revels that it's always certain friend having this problem.

Also on some occasions when some players kill the box in challenges, the book just fall of the map. Different player in almost every game.

we are playin version 1.3.3.4.

also in chapter two, you can collide so to speak the first two cut scenes together, so that the game won't work on some people.

No errorlog to post with this one, just a screenshot:

Screencap of problem

When I choose to accept an invitation through steam to join a game, I've gotten this twice. Bright, bright screen where the text for the password would normally be. Just flickers uncontrollably before going to a black screen. No crash, no error. I have to manually kill Magicka and reload.
