Hey guys, I really like the slow-progress-gaming, just to have more fun. Is there a maximum time in days, which you are allowed to stay in Arulco? I know that Enrico & rebels don't care, but I've heard of user, whos games crashed at a certain amount of days. Unfortunately, I don't know if this problem if related to Ja2 itself. Does anyone know if the code sets a special limit, as for example, the amount of days just can be displayed properly up to day XYZ and the game could crash AFTER this?

Does the querty/azerty change due to this or what do you mean?
Anybody who knows how to change querty settings back to azerty? (I'm from Belgium)

If I hit alt-shift my game changes from qwertz to qwerty, but that's because of my Windows where I can switch between German and US keyboard with that key combination. Maybe try that.

Thought at first that it did not work, but [font:Arial Black]it does[/font]!!!!
Thanks, man!!
[color:#006600]I suggest that Ja2 modders put it in the hotkey list as well. After all, it's a handy option with the alt/shift/ctrl hotkeys ja2v1.13 allows use for, and it will save a lot of people some issues[/color]

As systemfehler pointed out it is a Windows hotkey and as such should not be put into the hotkey list, at least not without a detailed explanation. It could be put into the readme (yes, if you don't read the readme file you deserve all the problems you encounter).
The reason for this is that it is not in any way a JA2 related hotkey, it is just that some (one?) hotkeys interferes with this feature. This is in turn a pretty bad idea as some localized versions (maybe even all) of XP installs with English and localized language keyboard as default.
Using Alt+Shift in the game is pretty much the same as using Ctrl+Shift+Escape (task manager) or using the Winkey as a modifier.
I never really reflected on this as I always this feature turned off but someone should probably take a look at it as it could lead to a few problems, an alternative with alt+X+LMB is probably better (X is not the letter X here but another unused key that is suitable).

Just got home. The game ran fine until day 784 (IVan's contract expired, so it paused). Again, this is without any fights or any meaningful events, so it's hardly a thorough test.
