TAB randomly won't work

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 8:10 am

I'm having an intermittent issue where TAB randomly decides not to work. This means I get stuck in the pipboy, conversation, terminal menus, etc. Anything requiring TAB to make you exit that doesn't have an onscreen button I can click (mainly Pipboy).

I end up jamming keys on my keyboard wildly, and after ~30-60 seconds tab decides to work again. So far I have yet to get completely stuck.

Anyone else experienced this? I have a simple keyboard with nothing fancy, and have never had issues before.

FYI I've discovered that this seems to be caused by using the Steam Overlay. I can regain TAB control by alt+tabbing out of then back into the game. Hopefully they fix this at some point as I'm using Steam Overlay constantly to talk about the game with other people playing it. :P
