Is this actually about the keyboard layout or about triggering the Chinese IME?

It never changes for me for some reason.

I try to change it and it just keeps typing in English…

 

May have something to do with that sound bug too. Where if you change sound devices while the game is open it will not produce any sound at all.

 

Idk it just seems similar.

Than make a proper bug report with some more details, using Win+Space to change to e.g. Russian works flawlessly. (and make sure that your keyboard layout is actually sending what you expect to the game, and not expecting the windows IME to handle it, since that one is (kown(?)) broken.)

Fully unrelated, and lol a issue exclusive to the “superior os” /s

Russian does not work for me…

When I hold the windows key and hit space, the game ignores the windows key and just hits space. Thereby not switching the languages to begin with.

 

Tabbing to another open window then using the shortcut will change the language for all other programs, but the game typing language remains unchanged.

 

I believe it’s related to the not so recent change that makes most windows commands not work in game. (that people were using to leave the game while in a battle and honestly IT’S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL THAT YOU NEED TO HANDICAP EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE OF A HANDFUL OF A-HOLES. But that’s just my stand on that topic.)

So in other words your title is wrong and it is about SC not letting you change your keyboard language, no about it not accepting the change (the 2nd one implies that it did actually change but the game just still writes in english). So does this only affect changing if the shortcut is bound to Win+Space or also with the default Alt + Shift (if this is the default, I don’t remember).

It’s a little of both.

And win+Space is the default. Idk how to change it honestly.

And I’m not taking a wild guess at which Windows version (a mimimum mention for a bug report in the wrong section) you are using and in which mess of options this is hidden, so jus google it. And at least in Windows 7 I was constantly annoyed by alt+shift or control+shift or something similar constantly chanhig my keyboard layout while playing SC (until disabled it).

Oh Windows 10 lmao.

You’re right it’s kinda silly not to have mentioned that.

As I understand, problems there are for Chinese layout only.

It isn’t a bug: Chinese layout user must enable in the game launcher.

Chinese was an example.

Russian is what doesn’t work.

 

Why did I say Chinese? The world may never know.

 

Anyways I think tge root of the problem is blocking Windows key commands while in the game.

Wait for screenshot.

Also, is enabled russian layout in your OS? May you write on russian here?

Skula is it possible for you to switch keyboard layout in game with Win+Space? Since this is what this report seems to be about.

Это Русская This is English

Works fine here.

Like I said it only stops working in game. Works fine everywhere else.

йцукенгшщзхъфывапролджэячсмитьбю everything works. (Though I can’t seem to get accent keys to work in any regard.)

Are you using windows 10?

Maybe it’s just a hidden compatibility issue.

looks like win 10 to me, also TheRedDarkFox which window mode do you use (Windowed/Full-screen Windowed/Exclusive Full-screen)
