Mac OSX 10.10.5... none of the text entry fields work. The keyboard shortcuts for the game work just fine, but not for text entry. This means I cannot do things like, for example, rename a city.



I searched the forums but did not find any problems like this recorded by anyone else. Has anyone seen this?

Are you able to even click to rename your city? What steps if any have you undertaken to troubleshoot your issue so far? smiley: smile

I can get to the textbox to rename a city, but when I try to click in the textbox, no cursor shows up. Hitting keys does nothing. I don't know anything else to try.

Any news on this problem? Was it solved?


I am having a similar issue. Also using Mac OS 10.10.5


I cannot type anything at all. The shortcuts work, even on the command options, remaking keys works fine.

However, whenever I need to type any kind of text, the keys don't work (nothing is typed). That happens on the text chat, when renaming cities, when naming a new faction (or writing it's description). This really ruins the game...

I figured out the cause, but the problem is still there.


I was using the Steam launch option "-popupwindow" to play the game on windowed mode. I deactivated that and the keyboard is now working fine. However, I still need to use the popup window launch option, because the regular game window is too big and doesn't fit in my screen (and if I use full screen mode, I can't use cmd+tab to switch to the interned browser or other apps).


Now I need to figure out why the typing is disabled when the "-popupwindow" command is used on Steam's launch options

Have you checked that you're in full screen mode?

Can you post your error log if you have one? It would be in your game install folder in a folder with a date for a name. You game is usually installed for Windows to:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Endless Legend/

And for Mac:

User/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/Endless Legend/Dump Files

In full screen mode it works just fine. 

The system is Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4. There so Dump files in mentioned folder

The issue is in 'borderless window' mode made by Steam launch option '-popupwindow'. I'm using it because I'd also like to use Cmd+tab to switch to other windows without exiting the game.

As was described in this thread, with '-popupwindow' option, no text input fields receive any keyboard input: save game naming, city, renaming, new unit names & etc
