Firstly, thank you for making eduke32, I've been having a hefty nostalgia dose over the last couple of days, and its down to playing this through your mod, so cheers

.

Now, the question. Every time I run eduke32, for some reason it switches my keyboard layout from UK to US. Once I have quit playing, I have to use the Windows settings to toggle my keyboard back. It's hardly life or death, but it's an annoyance, and I was wondering how I could fix this please. I'm on Windows 8.

I believe this is done to prevent problems with foreign keyboards, which can come in a multitude of layouts. Your problem means it's only partially implemented and buggy as it doesn't revert back to the original layout. I must say it's at least better on your OS, linux users have to rely to command line tricks to use the correct US layout in-game.

Brilliant, thanks, I'll download that release!

EDIT: Maybe I'm being daft, where I can find that build? the "latest" zip is labelled as 1.9.9.9 on my PC. Thanks!

2nd EDIT: Nevermind, the Wiki link in your sig helped me out! Thank you!
