Receiver selection problem - arcade mode

[darrellb9]

Been playing around in arcade mode and during passing plays, using keyboard or MS sidewinder precision pro, I cannot pass to receivers numbered 4 or 5. Having same problem in both practicing plays and in actual games.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I don't know but does that game pad have buttons 4 and 5? Are they triggers or buttons?

[darrellb9]

Yes it does have buttons 4 and 5.
I have the same problem when I use the keyboard. Have tried the number keys above qwert and the numpad with numlock on and also off.

[David Winter]

Okay.. I tried with my Gravis controllers and they work okay. I don't think it's the controller anyway if you're having trouble with the keyboard too.

Do the receiver icons come up at all?

Sorry David, 4 does work.

Yes, the receiver icons do show up.
I didn't have the controller hooked up a minute ago when I retested it but using the keyboard 4 works but 5 definately does not. I'm playing 11 man US rules if that makes any difference.

Is there a way in the PDS to assign what key goes with what receiver? I could just avoid 5 for now if that's the case. I looked but didn't see any.

[David Winter]

Okay.. I'll check it out.

Today button 5 seems to be working. [&:]

I am getting an exception after I exit the program anytime I play arcade mode though, coaching mode doesn't produce it. Get it whether using keyboard or joystick in arcade mode.

I've included the 'details' file produced by windows after the error just in case it has anything of use in it for you.

Since the 5 button problem seems inconsistent I guess I'll assume it's something on my machine that's causing it. I've unloaded all extraneous programs before running MF but doesn't seem to make any difference.
