Colossus 2 Posted February 12, 2011 Great stuff, once again. :) But how exactly is removing ALT+F4 a improvement? And what's the meaning and/or cause of this change? :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spork 10 Posted February 12, 2011 But how exactly is removing ALT+F4 a improvement? And what's the meaning and/or cause of this change? :confused: I know personally that i've accidentally closed arma several times by pressing alt-F4. Usually from choosing unit 4 while free looking.

Coffeecat 10 Posted February 12, 2011 My first impression of this beta is good. Textures seems to pop up much less then before, specially when looking through scopes. What does stronger signature check mean? ty BIS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 131 Posted February 12, 2011 [77941] Improved: Alt-F4 no longer exits the game when while playing. I think most of us are fond of the ALT+F4 functionality and experienced enough not to press F4 while using the standard freelook key (which can be changed!) .. so how can this be an improvement? *not amused* :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cole 0 Posted February 12, 2011 I know personally that i've accidentally closed arma several times by pressing alt-F4. Usually from choosing unit 4 while free looking. That fortunately never happened to me. What I do alot more is holding Alt for a quick freelook and then want to change my target lock on, which is set to Tab. Alt.. Tab.. FPDR edit: and yes, please make alt+f4 optional, even if it's a config only option and is disabled by default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celery 8 Posted February 12, 2011 I'd like to have alt+f4 as an option. I for one find it useful to exit the game at a moment's notice and I never have a need to press f4 when freelooking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sniper pilot 36 Posted February 12, 2011 Nooo! :( Alt F4 was great, especially when you wanted to exit fast! Sure I accidentally closed the game maybe once in the last year but its a necessary evil imho! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suma 8 Posted February 12, 2011 Nooo! :( Alt F4 was great, especially when you wanted to exit fast! Sure I accidentally closed the game maybe once in the last year but its a necessary evil imho! :D If you want to exit game fast, all you need to do first is to pause the game. Alt-F4 still works in all UI screens, including the pause screen and the map. I understand this change may be not that welcome for some of us, but I think the current version is really better - while it does not happen that often someone presses Alt-F4 by mistake, when it happens, the consequences were quite serious before, and using Esc before Alt-F4 is not really that much slower.

tonygrunt 10 Posted February 12, 2011 One more vote for making Alt-F4 optional. I have played MP missions where ESC is disabled when dead, so if you want to leave now, you will have to do it through task manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suma 8 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) What if you accidentally activate disableUserInput and can't pause the game? Good question. I suggest that with disableUserInput the Alt-F4 works the same as in the pause screen. I cannot see how could anyone press it by mistake in such situation. ---- ... and done (in 78185) Edited February 12, 2011 by Suma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted February 12, 2011 If you want to exit game fast, all you need to do first is to pause the game. Alt-F4 still works in all UI screens, including the pause screen and the map. That works for me. Might I suggest adding this explanation to the changelog for the next stable patch? It could reduce the number of people freaking out about it, if that is the case. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msy 22 Posted February 12, 2011 maybe ALT+TAB should be terminated too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celery 8 Posted February 12, 2011 maybe ALT+TAB should be terminated too. Only when ingame without UI. Tabbing is vital for editing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat 131 Posted February 12, 2011 maybe ALT+TAB should be terminated too. I do not agree, lots of people use ALT-TAB while playing to get back to TS3 and switch channels etc. /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
