    Default A way around

    Does anybody know a way around using the escape key? My escape key is broken and now I can't play all the different saved games I want because the game menu functions isn't in the Controls setting in options. Doesn't anybody know a "ALT and 'this" or "CTRL and 'this'" that the computer - and thus the game -would recognize as the same function as the escape key?

    Please help!

    Hi

    Page 8 of the RTW manual, Control Settings, says you can alter the keyboard short cuts. Might that work ?

    CRTL + S will quicksave and CRTL + L will load that same quicksave from the campaign screen. That should cover off any needs you have for the menu screen while playing. Then when you are finished playing, just CRTL + S to save, then CRTL + ALT + Delete to get to Task Manager then End Process on RTW to quit.

    Et voila!

    Hope this helps.

    Negatory. I already found quicksave and quickload while searching for game menu in the Control Settings. Turns out that quicksave does not save your named campaign game, but instead makes a new save file titled "QuickSave" instead, so I can only use it on only one of my many different campaign games that I'm playing all simultaneously.

    But thanks for trying.

    You can make copies of the savegame file... Try renaming the quicksave file, and see if that makes it a new savegame in the menu...
