Title: Just wondering if anyone else has this problem...
Post by: RDH_An-R-Kist on July 02, 2004, 03:54:38 am
I got the newest update (downloaded June 26, 2004) and I started up my game, played a melee.  Everything was fine until I controlled a Melnorme.  I can't charge up my orbs, whenever I try to thrust or turn, my charging orb releases.  Just wondering if anyone else ran into this issue. I'm gonna report the bug when I get home from work.

Simple:
Key jamming.
It is a known problem... If you will notice it will happen to you when you use the koar-ah razor blades as well. Just play a little bit with your control keys until it stops.

And just to be fair to the programmers, key jamming is a hardware issue.  It has nothing to do with the game code.  Some keyboards jam less than others or with different keys.
