Question

Why can Num Lock suddenly not be turned off anymore, and how do I change this?

Answer to your question

After the installation of the community patch Num-Lock suddenly cannot be turned off anymore, while this functioned before.

From community patch v1.5 on the entry "Input.DisableForceNumLock=false" in the ge3.ini was selected automatically. If you previously had overwritten this value manually with "true" in the ge3.ini, for example as a laptop user to be able to turn off Num Lock and be able to use all the keys during the game, the value will be overwritten again by the installer with the value "false".

Solution:
Change the value after "Input.DisableForceNumLock=" again from "false" to "true".

The automatic entry of this parameter should make it easier for laptop users to turn off Num Lock. The existence of such an entry is now clearly visible for everyone by looking through the ge3.ini and possible positioning errors by manually inserting this entry in the ge3.ini are now excluded.
