Keyboard lockup on a Mac (No Camera Control)

[aka_Deadline]

I have noticed that on occasion that

the keyboard will lock up and I will

loose all Camera controls(1-8).

The game is still playing but I can not switch to any other camera position,nor

can I press any other key to quite the game,

etc.

This does not happen all the time, when it does I need to Hard boot my machine.

The mouse still works.

Has anyone else had this problem.

Running a G3 b/w 350 with 320 ram

(200 megs of ram given to CM)

logitech mouse

system 8.5.1

Thanks

I noticed something similar on my G4. In my case it turned out that I was somehow ending up with the view locked to the active unit and keyboard commands quit working. Hitting tab, the normal lock to view button, appears to fix things for me.

I have just started playing demo and am getting the exact same problem as you Deadline. After a while keys stop working starting with camera keys.

I have a Pentium 200 with 2MB Monster3D card.

The most annoying thing is the problem persists even when I eventually manage to quit the game and get back to desktop. Until I reboot I have problems with the mouse click and many keyboard inputs.

Until I find out whats causing it I wont risk getting the full version.

Headcount- By all accounts dont let this stop you from buying the game , you dont know what you are missing if you dont buy the game.

I have had this problem about 2 times over

the past week.I would say that the game is very stable and I have been playing CM non stop since I received it about a week ago.

I have played 14 hours straight without a single crash or problem as an example.

I guess what I am saying is , ya it is a minor

problem that makes me reboot , but it has not stoped me from enjoying this great game.
