[thorneakavar]

which should I be using?

[arcones]

Use the .bat file, it makes life a whole lot easier

[thorneakavar]

Thats the one I started with and then I seen the Launcher and curiosity, as they say, killed the cat

[Hirato]

this is a known bug and has been 'fixed'.
a synopsis and a workaround can be found at viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2559 (which happens to be a sticky in this very sub-forum)

My problem is that escape stops working so I cant bring up the menu to save or anything. And i was making such progress....

There's a code to save your map
'To Save Your Map

Use the menu or hit the ` key (above tab) then type /savemap mapname mapname is the name of your map Your Map will be saved in the Packages/Base folder. Save often!!' (from the wiki, you can find this in the map editing basics part

Alright here is how I fixed it: Clicking the launcher, I couldnt use any keyboard functions, but I clicked on the "CLICK ME TO START" batch file and it allowed me to click my way through the menus to restore the defaults as mentioned. I am including a screenshot of what it looked like before the problem. Even though this fixed it, it shouldnt happen in the first place! Especially if a game built with this might do it. NOTE....I hit the wrong button on screenshot, but if it does it again I will add it

Necro'ing this because this fix works for me. I don't know why I had this problem, but it was the exact same thing as OP. I think it's because I was mucking around for key edits in the cfgs and messed something up when I was trying to restrict mouse movement (another thread). All the best to you, OP.
