Re: Titanfall 2 keyboard problems

meanwhile I have found a solution.
I will post the link here:

https://superuser.com/questions/976947/keyboard-language-keeps-changing-in-windows-10

The post says:

In Windows 10, by default, pressing CTRL+SHIFT will cycle through any keyboard layouts that you might have mapped and it's surprisingly easy to do this by mistake.

If you keep pressing CTRL+SHIFT (or whatever you might have changed it to) then soon you should get back to the correct setting. (alternatively reboot which is what I did first time ;-) )

You can disable this default keyboard action as follows:

Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Language > Advanced settings > Switching input methods > Change language bar hotkeys > Change key sequence... > Switch keyboard layout > Not Assigned

from 2016 onwards location has changed. (from comments)

Control panel > Language > Advanced settings > Switching input methods > Change language bar hot keys

Be warned, the above doesn't always work - Restarts and Sleep mode can both change keyboard default (usually to US) - I've found no cast-iron solution though creating a new profile can help, though not a particularly satisfactory answer IMHO.

In an emergency

WIN+R  
osk

to bring up the On Screen Keyboard might help temporarily."

For the last hour it seems to work fine.

Changing Windows input language hot key sequences does not resolve this issue. It is not possible to edit Windows -key hot keys like WIN + SPACE. So when I accidentally push Windows key and space, input method is toggled.

The actual problem still persists:

Every time Titanfall 2 is launched English (US) -keyboard layout is added to Win10 input language list (and can be accidentally enabled). Keyboard language is only visible in Language bar, not in the Settings or in the Control Panel.

For me deactivating the shortcut for switching between layouts works, as my main problem was that I accidentially hit it when sprinting and crouching on SHIFT and CTRL. I still haven't found a way to stop the game from adding another language to the system. I hope you can find a solution to your problem. I am looking forward to read about your solution.

Issue still isn't fixed, so I'm putting this here for anyone who looks for this to hopefully speed up any searching you do.
This is (as far as I can tell) a really old issue with keyboard translation in the source engine, reported as far back as 2010 (wayback machine of a forum link from a steam discussions page). There is a fix for this where you edit registry files but I haven't tried it because it doesn't matter that much to me. I hope this gets patched someday but I can't really imagine it happening because Valve apparently hasn't fixed this even in CS2.
Here's the link to the steam discussion page https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/1/864976115478357063/
