Numpad time control

Same issue.

I've exited, reloaded the game, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. So randomly you may have keys that work on your numpad or homerow numbers, or they may not work at all.

This is similar

This is an unusual bug, I'm experiencing it too.

I've found this fixed it:

1. Hit Ctrl+Shift+C to open the console bar.
2. Type "help" (without quotes.)
3. Then hit escape.

I don't know if you actually have to type a command in there, might just be opening the cheat bar. But once you've done that, you should find the num keys work to control time again until the next restart.

Weird, but there it is... At least there's a workaround. O.o

I tried to open the console bar but it dsnt pop up for me. even tried to press CTR+X and even dissabled Origin. Help please!

Opening the console seems to have worked for now.

The ESC solution actually worked, i was going to try bringing up the console like someone said above, but instead i saw this later comment about hitting ESC twice and decided to test it - it worked, and i'm assuming it worked with bringing up the console aswell because you hit ESC to close it again?

Weirdest thing ever...

But i'm happy to at least have a temporary solution! :womanhappy:

Pressing ESC, then ESC again as is mentioned in the "accepted solution" did not work for me.  However, when this happened, I went into build mode, then back out to live mode and the keypad started working again.
