Upgrade Shortkey is Broken?

[popesta88]

So I have default settings, so to upgrade my abilities it's simply Alt+1,2,3 or 4. And it's always been like that with no issues.

Since the patch, this is 1000% a bug because my controls are still the default and haven't changed, BUT the game literally says "Hold Tab to upgrade" (I'm paraphrasing, but it says use the TAB key).

Even though I have it set to Alt it's forcing me to use Tab, and to make matters worse Tab doesn't even fully work. There are MANY times in the game where I'm slamming on Tab+1 to upgrade and nothing happens, and it's not consistent on if a push will do the trick or holding it will do it.

I even tried changing my default buttons to TAB to see if that would fix the issue and at least make it more consistent in working, yet it still functions the same.

Please fix this!

Feel free to even look at a previous game to see me finicking with it, especially in the early stages

Adding onto this, one instance of this bug always occurring is after selecting items in Street Brawl. Once you're prompted to upgrade your abilities and wait for the laning phase, the game does not respond to TAB + 1,2,3,4 until after taking the ziplines. However, upgrading through other key binds combos like ALT or clicking on the mouse function just fine.

I always used TAB to upgrade as it made it convenient to see all my stats. The key bind to set it to a TAB combination (TAB + 1,2,3,4) in the settings does not work unfortunately. The key bind simply ignores the combo and registers only the TAB bind. The upgrading function still works fine everywhere else in my experience.

It's a small bug that isn't a big deal breaker, but its a bit frustrating to work around for something that feels very like a miniscule fix.

Just bumping this post because this is a bug that keeps disappearing but reappears like every other patch.

I never came back to report it because in the other instances it would only be around for like a day tops, but this is the first time since it was fixed for the first time a few patches ago where it has lasted a few days.

Also not sure if it helps with patching, but when I go into keybindings I hold Alt and I try to press 1, 2, 3 or 4 just to see what happens if I rebound them. But it doesn't allow me to bind it. Almost as if the game can't read Alt+1 or any of the other keys.

Weird issue, I've tried it in other games and I get no issues, I tried switching my game to full screen, no issues. I tested out keyboard tests and they all show I can type both, so it's not an issue on my end. It's just within Deadlock, and it keeps going back and forth from working and not working between patches.

One last note, but I've been someone who's played Deadlock for well over a solid year now, and this is a new issue. This wasn't an issue at all before 3 months ago.
