    Sometimes when I load up the game, the number keys above the letter rows on my keyboard don't work. I can't say I have tried using the numpad itself, but pressing ESC then ESC again seems to fix the issue for me.

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
