Can't View Epeen Monitor without Scroll Lock!!!

Recommended Posts

I hope I'm not the only one!. My laptop doesn't have scroll lock anywhere! I search everywhere for an alternative way to activate but can't find anything!

Please change the button! make it ctrl-H or something. Or "I" since there are no stats now! that would only make sense right!?

Isn't there a function key on your laptop to toggle numlock (or another key)

Isn't that the key "FN" or something like that?

On my laptop (MAC) I press the fn+shift+F12 keys, and I get the EPeen monitor to show up. Shows Zombie Kills, Headshots, Bandit Kills, Something I can't remember, and Humanity.

I have a Fn(Function) key but I can't even find a number lock. (mostly likely cause it already has a numpad.) I'm on an ASUS G74SX. Trust me I've tried so much!

Although I don't have a Mac I think i will try that MrN79.

Unless I'm mistaken (only have horrible quality photos from google to go on), it's FN+F3 or FN+F4 on that asus keyboard. Remember, Scroll Lock isn't the same as Num Lock! The scroll lock key is used, today more rarely than it used to be, to scroll down the page without changing the current cursor position.

That being said, it usually has a downward pointing arrow icon or an icon that involves the keyboard, sometimes with a lock above it or similar. Check if your laptop has the usual three LEDs (num lock, caps lock, scroll lock), if so there is a key combo for it somewhere.

Also, the existence of a numpad has nothing to do with num lock, it's meant to switch between having the numbers 0-9 and the comma or rather have up/down/left/right arrows aswell as insert/del/home/end/pg up/pg down.

Most laptops (Mac or Win) have some type of key combination that will enable Scroll Lock, or user definable key combinations that can be set to enable Scroll Lock.

Since most laptops now have scrolling ability in the trackpads, manufacturers have been getting rid of the Scroll Lock key. My Dell 14r has no scroll lock key function whatsoever. No key combinations I've looked into work - Fn+F5, Fn+Delete, Fn+Num Lock... nada. I even tried a registry fix to assign another key to scroll lock and it doesn't work. As it stands, I had to buy a USB NumPad because Dell also didn't put an alternative NumPad into the keyboard. It's all a part of the New Cruelty.

As I understand it, the plan is to add this info to the Diary which will make it an assignable control - hopefully, that'll happen sooner rather than later. For now, I haven't been able to find a way to get the monitor up.

Have you tried Shift+Num Lock?

Also, might require Dell QuickSet ( https://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-n311z?driverId=R305770&osCode=W764&fileId=2731118123 or so )

In lieu of a native solution, get something like this as a work-around: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/map-any-key-to-any-key-on-windows-xp-vista/

You can also try using the on screen keyboard by going into "Start - All Programs - Accessories - Ease Of Access - On-Screen Keyboard"

I used scroll lock before the update anyway lol, I use it for 3rd/1st person switch, KP enter is my GPS key.

I suppose it works quite well having it as scroll lock for me, as every time I change view I can massage my tiny e-peen with no murders

I also guess I should have put my kind of laptop. :D I have an ASUS G74SX. It says there is a hotkey combo, but it doesn't work.

@Elvaron, yeah my laptop doesn't even have a light for it.

@MrN79 I actually have tried the onscreen keyboard but can't see it when i start the game. I suppose I could run in window mode.

Lol it just seems so weird to me that of all the key combos they could have assigned that to, they would choose that key. They even could have made it an option in the list when you press "backspace"

I have a full apple keyboard (the latest desktop one, with numpad) and can't find a way. Already tried "FN+shift+F12" and nothing.

Anyone has the same one?

Yea, I have a laptop and I dont have a scroll lock button either. Even if I plug in a keyboard with a scroll lock button on it, the system doesn't recognize it and I dont get the Epeen Moniter.

As mentioned in several posts, pick a key combo everyone can access please. Especially now that we can't see our kills anymore via the multiplayer scoreboard, I have no damned idea just what in the hey is going on.

Would be a nice little feel good for myself after I hatchet 30 zombies chasing me to know how many I actually chopped.

I also have a ASUS G74S and do not have a NUM LOCK or SCROLL LOCK key.

From what I have read above and elsewhere, it appears that there is no key. Is there a way to remap the key?

* [uPDATED] - Epeen key moved to Custom Controls - Use action key 20 (No default key needs setting up)

v1.7.6 has now taken care of this ... say thank you to the Devs ... some of them are human too. :)
