I just encountered an annoying issue in the tutorial: When I am asked to add the two drones to the escort list, it says to press Alt + E to do so. Unfortunately this function is not bound to Alt + E, but to Alt + ; and it works fine with Alt + ;.
I had this issue before in this mission: The keys that were displayed in the text messages were not the same as they were on the configuration screen. But it seems the mission requires me to press the keys that are displayed, regardless of their function, in order to complete those mission objectives.
But in this special case it's not enough to add the drones to the list by using Alt + ; and then doing the same thing again with Alt + E. For some reason it does not work and I'm unable to continue with the mission.
It may have something to do with the fact that I am using a German keyboard and on a German keyboard AltGr + E is the Euro sign €. But I would be surprised if that was a problem, because all keys function in the game as if I had a US keyboard layout. My Y key is recognized as Z, when I use Alt + ; I in fact have to press Alt + Ö, because the Ö is where the ; would be on a US keyboard.
However, it is not a critical issue. Like I said, the keys work like they have been configured, so I am able to play the game and use all the functions. Just in this special case of the tutorial I'm not able to achieve the mission objectives.
I am using a 64 Bit Windows 7 and have Diaspora Patch 1.0.1 installed.
