Hello, this is my first post here. I tried searching but came up empty handed.
Does anyone know why none of the function keys in this game work? F1 - F12 all have an in game function but none of them work. I tried pressing CTRL + F1 and assigning them to something else, but either I'm not entirely sure how that feature works, or it didn't do anything.
My brother tried this game on his computer too and the game worked great, but the function keys didn't work on his either.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Again, this is ALL the function keys.

Thanks for the help!

Do you have an F-Lock key on your keyboard?

An F-Lock key? Not that I know of. Mine is a laptop and my brother's is just a regular desk top with a standard keyboard.

Thats one game I really need to go back and play. Excellent, excellent game. The expansions improved it by a fair bit also. Especially the Mercenaries expansion.

The only other DOS game that I own (that can think of) is Quake. Does the original Quake use any Function keys? If not, anyone know where I can download a free DOS game that does?
