What's happened to the 'P'?

Post by Sslaxx »

Can't reproduce this bug under a window, and I don't know how to take screenshots full-screen (is this possible?), but I've been finding 'P' replaced with a block instead.

Ironically, pressing "p" will take a screenshot.

I've seen this anomaly on a few other machines. I've seen it go away after a reboot. I'll continue to look into it.
See my ramblings and keep up with the latest news on Twitter & Facebook.

I've seen that on the windows version as well, so it's not platform-specific, but closing and restarting the game helped in my case, rebooting wasn't necessary.

I've also have noticed this. It's only capital P, not lower case:

Fedora 13 x86_64
nVidia GTX260 216 core
nvidia drivers 195.36.24

I'll check to see if a game restart does the trick...

Edit: Yep, restarting the game fixed the issue.

Been meaning to pop in here to mention that I've seen this occasionally, too. A quit/restart has always fixed it for me, and there doesn't seem to be much pattern to it (I could be playing the game, quit, restart to find the "P" problem, and then quit/restart once more to clear it up, etc.)

Quite odd. I wonder if it has anything to do with the renderer? Since I'm on Linux I'm obviously using OpenGL, but I wonder what the Windows folks who've seen this are using.

Not a big deal, of course, given the simplicity of the workaround.

Happens only with OpenGL, we talked about it when BookII first came out.
