G110 shortcuts
I use a g110 logitech keyboard and i have play/stop buttons on the top.
I use them to stop the music while I play, when I am waiting in the lobby I listen to music but when the game starts I stop it so I can concentrate to the game.
They keys always work in every game but when I play crossfire the shortcuts don't work. When I press play nothing happens.

I didn't bought 5.1 Headphones to not use them. And the problem is not solved, you just avoid it.I also had some problems with my keyboard pause/play buttons, untill i re-installed the drivers for the keyboard :P
It's not a problem with the keyboard, it's a problem with crossfire. The keys work in other games. -
Chances are its probably using a macro system that CF restricts for many reasons. Many people with special keyboards/mice have these issues.
Check your keyboard settings for such hotkeys to see if they are bound properly to the actual system keys for such. It might work better.
I've never had issues with my keyboards having such buttons. So there's probably something else in the works for yous. -

Anyway, I'll try finding the answer myself.
Then CF has restricted those keys on your keyboard from being bound. Probably for a reason, as not all buttons work while CF runs.
If you can set up a dual bind or shortcut system I suggest doing so. Like doing a combo of Ctrl+G or something to that effect while with your regular buttons. -
mine does the same thing, sounds like a similar keyboard.
its not a "problem" as such, it's merely that, like talon hinted at, cf as an application blocks certain functions from working.
Other applications that run in fullscreen also have this issue, where the shortcut buttons no longer perform their desired function, but are fine outside of it.
quick tip i do, before i join a game, click outside of the cf box (if you play in windowed mode?) then pause it, then join the game.
also works if you alt+tab, but this can cause you to dc from the game...

just saw this post:BadMonkey666 wrote: »But it was working on my old computer. I bought a new computer but the keyboard is the same and on my old computer I could use the buttons.
On my old computer I was able to pause the music while I was playing crossfire.
regards both computers, has anything major changed, i.e. the OS you are using vs the one that was on your old computer? -

yea I know, I had this issue with other games too on my old computer but on my new computer it is only crossfire that doesn't works.quick tip i do, before i join a game, click outside of the cf box (if you play in windowed mode?) then pause it, then join the game.

Well, better hardware and Windows 7. my old computer had XP, my new one has Win7.
Vista was the only one without this issues, all the buttons worked.
I noticed something, the volume control doesn't work too. -

take it you dnt play in windowed mode then? since u cnt report players whilst in a game..?
and it worked of for me with xp, but now ive upgraded to win7, it doesnt work in game...and no, thats the same, its an outside application - i.e. not run by cf, so it will be isolated whilst in game...
