On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug If I hit the tilde key (standard ANSI keyboard, just below ESC key) accidentally it is not possible to exit this mode. Continuing an ongoing game is not possible (see additional info). Note: This is not restricted to MP or MP mode, I was just forced to select them. The bug happens anywhere ingame.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use German OS and language setting but an English (US, International) keyboard.
What happens when the bug occurs? It is impossible to exit console window. I have to kill bfv.exe using Task-Manager
What should be happening instead? It should be possible to close Console Window using "SHIFT + ~"
Ingame, every now and then I accidentally hit the tilde key (standard ANSI keyboard, just below ESC key) which opens the console window where you can enter special console commands.
My Problem: Once this happens I cannot exit/close this mode, everything typed goes into this console window and it is impossible to continue the ongoing game (no mouse action is possible, no normal BFV keybindings work).
The supposed way (SHIFT + ~) does not work and I have to terminate the game using Task-Manager.
Searching the Web a lot of BF players encountered this nuisance for many years in BF (you cannot disable that key), a bugfix does not exist so far.
Here is a workaround:
My special configuration might provoke this bug.
The language setting of my OS and game is German but my configured keyboard is English (US, International).
In this setting I cannot close the console window once I hit the tilde key.
However if I change my keyboard setting to German before starting the game (I have configured two keyboard settings where I can chose from, default is US) then I can close/leave the console window by "SHIFT + ~".
