Windows
version of LackeyCCG have only one native keyboard
layout configuration for while (MAC version work fine), due that Chat/Log
inputs doesn't works well using another keyboard types, for that reason my playgroup
uses a VOIP program SKYPE
to talk over the matches. I've really recommend use of that program. |
