_r.u.s.s. no problem

Guest_Alex_* YES YES YES !!!!!!! :brain: :brain: :brain:

The information from "r.u.s.s." was the "jackpot" !!

I just tried it and it works now with the 4 arrow keys k: k: k:

I started the game after i deleted the cfg. file and i could change the contollings..

The music then was weird (like a modem signal) but I could it in the sound options

to the normal sound.

Thanks man!!

I think this night is going to be very long!


Thread can be closed. My question is answerded. Thanks to all of you. :brain:

Mighty Midget ummm, do you have any configuration files in the game folder set to "read only"?

_r.u.s.s. i dont know... i have reset keyso for the player 2 to random keys on my letter keyboard, then redefined player 1 on arrow keys and it just worked O_o

btw you was right about deleting a file. there is 'lotus.cfg' so delete that one. then run the game and you can reset everything over again

Hi "Sebatianos".

Thank you for your fast answer.

I tried your two suggestions - reconfigure keys for second player first and turn on / off num lock
button. But the problem is still there
I played a few minutes ago with the mouse for left and right (moving)
and up/down arrow keys for accelerating and brake.
Not bad but the car reacts sometimes to slow so you hid walls or other cars

I played this game in the past at a friends computer with the arrow keys and it it much better of course.

I have now tried to delete "Lotus 3" from my computer and download and install it again.
That classic trick has helped me in other conflicts but not this time.

Maybe the keyboard or the computer (2006 model) do not match with the game settings
or requirements.

Anyway if you or someone else has another solution I would be very thankful.

Keep it up

Guest_Alex_* Hi everyone ! :blink:

I have downloaded "Lotus 3" from this website and then the the dosbox.
The game itself is good so far, k: but I want to play it with keyboard
(with the 4 arrow keys for accelerating,brake, left and right - it is not possible.
The game tells me that these keys are used :angry: Why?
Is there any other possibility to play it with the arrow keys?
Maybe I have to delete a small file and then the program installs it new?
If anyone has asolution I would be very happy.

Thank you
