hi guys posted this elsewhere and got no reply so am posting it here anyway as the title of the thread states i recently bought XWA from GOG it installed just fine and i can start the game and get to the hangar but once there i cannot launch as it will not accept any input from my keyboard i tried a skirmish mission and discovered that while my joy stick works i still cannot use my keyboard anyway just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what could be causing this. I am running windows 8.1 with fully updated drivers for my hardware

It seems very unlikely, but just in case:
The error description matches 100% what happens under Linux/WINE.
You can try xwahacker to apply the fix for that, just in case it helps...

just given it a shot and no dice but i did discover that i can look round using the mouse but the second i hit a key i can no longer do so but if i alt tab the game i get a sort of windowed mode where the mouse works again but again if i push anything it no longer works

just figured it out it was an app i use for working with remote servers from my pc the damned app was hijacking input from the game for some reason
