Has anyone else noticed that when chatting in multiplayer N3, that whenever you hit a number key it's changing your graphic settings for the sim? As in..."great run #10" will turn off your grass/asphalt textures, and the trees/poles graphics. I think Papy should have made sure that the keystrokes entered when chatting would not affect game settings! Is there a way to lock in the graphic settings, so that they don't change when I am chatting?? -- -Paul My reply address is false. Please post replies to this news group.

I know it's a bummer and it's very lazy from Papyrus to not have fixed this, since it was worked in every Papyrus software ever made for that. Let's hope it gets patched, it's one of those little bugs that's very annoying. But I found that using the keypad (if you have one) for numbers don't disable the graphics when you chat. Well it's like that on my PC :) -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Thanks for the tip, ymenard! I will try using the # keys on the keypad, and see if that stops the graphic settings from changing on my system. :-) (it is a lame bug, though) -Paul My reply address is false.

Thank you for pointing that out! I was wondering why the textures were turning on/off, never would have related it to using numbers in chat messages. Zog
