Issues unresolved
Stuck keys during character creation
For reasons unknown it can happen, that certain keys seem to be stuck while creating a character, while entering a name. Solutions so far are to restart the game, hit the "stuck" key, or Alt-Tab out of the game and back.
- Probably a driver issue
