[HTTP Error 400]

I couldn't find this bug listed on a search and I couldn't find a bug forum, so I've posted this here. The bug is that the backslash is listed as the default key for alpha strike, but using a UK English keyboard it doesn't do anything. I bound the actual '\' key to Alpha Strike and the key is now listed as 'oem_102', whereas if I try to use the '#' symbol on the keyboard, it is listed as backslash. I assume the game is interpreting the key location and not the value submitted by windows, which seems a little bit stupid for a multinational game...

I expect the company is NOT using any international keyboards, as they are a small Canadian team with limited resources.

Rebind your command to a different key and you should be fine.

I'm intrigued by the fact that just because they are small is an excuse for not complying with standard coding practises. I think the last time I saw a bug like this was a game I played in 1998, but since then people have become aware of other countries due to something known as the 'internet'. I was annoyed, as I have a backslash key and the game told me that this was bound to a function. When it didn't work I didn't know whether, as a new player, I didn't understand the game properly or whether there was a bug with the game in that I was hitting the correct key but the game wasn't bound correctly. In the end I managed to diagnose it as above. I want the game to succeed, but you'd have thought that something like this would have been considered at the start or during closed beta, not open beta. Open beta is meant to be about testing server load response and game playability. It isn't for testing underpinning game mechanics, especially when people are already being charged money for elements within the game.

I see ... you still are challenging the statement of PGI of the meaning of "beta state". Your faith is not strong, my boy!
You have to return to the church of fainboiyismis and join the monks of founders to be a true scholar of the MWO game!

Be the Russ and Bryan with you!
