ESC key doesn't close menus anymore

[Jinx]

Arrrggghhhh...

Now you have to click a "Close" button in the upper right corner.

Please please allow us to close menus with a keypress.

Whew - yep that fixed it.

[Myst]

happened before patch as well... this is an odd you get it during loading bug and you have to restart to fix it

Still is bugged sometimes - I can close most menus with ESC now but cannot dismiss open chest menus without pressing the Close button.

Keybindings r messed up..... when i have food in my off hand and press the off hand key while the food is out, 50 - 50 on if it just takes it out of my hand, or if it eats the food there. When building, sumtimes i can walk forwards whil ein the build menu and sumtimes i can't walk forwards when in the build menu.... i don't know if it does that with the default keys but if u rebind keys.... it messes them up.

Also, the escape key just worked fine for me tho, no need to reload the game or so... So that's weird... but ya, keybindings r messed up especially if u change em, at least for me...

the escape key is a "sometimes" happens thing after portaling... not a always on start.... Yeah hotbar stuff is also weird i noticed mousewheel scroll is now the OPPOSITE direction of what it was pre patch... getting weird swapping main hand tools now....

Even if it is a sometimes thing it must be fixed if it has not already. Not being able to ESC out of menus ist ridiculous and annoying. I makes you mad. I mean the revues of this game are not the best tbf. and changing essential stuff to middleage is a no way

It was mentioned in the Patch Notes of the last update, so I guess its fixed now.

It's not fixed, just happened to me.

The reviews are mixed cause people dont know what EARLY ACCESS means....... EXPECT bugs

EA does not count as an excuse to screw things up, which were working prior to the latest updates. Even the newest Tab-Menu Bug is atrouciously annoying, not getting out of the menu, freezing menus and Co.
Those are literally signs of incompetence, people who have no real clue how to set up the Blueprints (I doubt that they are using exclusively C++) for the UI and causing loops to transition into buggy infinite loops.
And may I also throw into this mess, that even ARK had no issues like this, nor any other UE4 and UE5 game to date, as people won't "reinvent" the wheel anew, when stuff is working already good enough without causing any errors or uncomfort.

Lol you apparently never played Ark then. There are too many bugs to count, and they PORTED OVER preexisting bugs from UE4 that were never fixed after years to the new UE5 build! So much for building it from scratch like they claimed.... anyways, breaking working systems is part and parcel of early access. Get used to it, because you aren't entitled to anything except access to the game. Report the issues and move on.
