I am wondering if anyone has figured out what causes the keyboard layout to screw up in HU periodically. I know I'm not the only one and I know it's been around for awhile so just wondering if anyone had figured it out.

Alt+shift changes my keyboard from swedish to english layout and vice versa. Is that what you mean? Not sure if you can remove that?

It might be. Half way through playing sometimes my buttons get jumbled, z becomes w a becomes s and all kinds of stupid things. Outside of the game it's fine but inside d2 it's messed up.

Next time it happens I'll give that a shot.

Since I started playing D2 on a 'new' laptop, I also started to see this odd switching of locales.

I thought I had every keystroke-combination disabled on the 'new' laptop, but on closer inspection I did find the leftAlt-Shift combination still active and set to switching locales :shock:

I have yet to test if this helps or not, but thanks for the tip.

Well, the 'new' laptop part was with regard to my 'old' laptop, which didn't have this issue. Different hardware, different operating system, different D2 client and somehow that causes me to occasionally having to search for the right key.

Anyway, I didn't notice any swaps after playing tonight, but than again, I also didn't type a lot.

edit: for those looking for this setting :
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Region Options
The middle tab is called Languages and has a button called Details.
Click that and on the bottom of the window that pops up is a button called Key Settings. There you can adjust the keystroke settings for language switching.
