Bugs in GR

Since GR came out today, I noticed two extremely annoying bugs.

1. Whenever I zone, my keybinds reset to default.

2. While playing CoH, I cannot alt+tab to switch to another window.

Has anyone else run into these and/or know how to fix them? They're both really getting on my nerves and seriously cutting into my enjoyment of GR.

I noticed this, but actually you CAN alt-tab to another program, you just can't see the little menu thingy that shows you which programs you are switching to. In other words, if you have, say, your browser and Skype running, and you alt-tab once, it'll switch to whichever one was in focus last, but there' no visual indication that it's going to happen.

Also, I noticed little, ghostly, thin white lines running across hallways in indoor missions, at about waist height.

My issue is different. I actually can see the little menu that shows what programs are running, and holding down alt and pressing tab does switch between them on the menu. However, they simply don't come to the front like they should when I release alt+tab. Even hitting the 'show desktop' button in the quickbar doesn't work.

i've had this problem now and then since well before GR, usually a restart of CoX fixes the problem

I saw those RARELY on live... but they are more common in the newer Praetorian missions. What I believe they are are artifacts of the way halls and rooms in maps are combined. So, what you are seeing are border lines between different sections that were merged together to make that area.

Were I you, I would bug each map I see them on.

I was seeing weird white arcs, like the edges of a large circle, on the ground last night.

I assume they are the boundry edges of some invisible entity on the map, maybe Sound emitters or something.

I've noticed inspirations sometimes dissapear completely and immediately when I pop a bunch of them.

Those "white lines" and "circles" floating in midair are actually lighting boundaries from overhead lights that have been incorrectly positioned.

It seems map errors like this come in with every patch. It's actually been an issue on Live since Issue 17, in Warehouse maps.

And the "rocks" in the Smooth Caves mapsets STILL haven't been fixed to look round instead of faceted.

Set your keybinds to the way you want them.

Save them to the default file with the keybind save button in Options Window.

Without zoning, immediately log off the long way. Full countdown to server select. Leave game. Reboot.

This should make sure the server's memory and your registry memory are in sync.

Probable success rate: 90%
