Unable to access the Bigbox options menu - no keyboard buttons work!

[Alex F.]

Hi, 

I'm at the end of the line, really. 

In Bigbox, I'm unable to access the options menu. The only buttons on my keyboard that work are the arrow buttons and the X button, which exits Bigbox. This means when opening Bigbox I can navigate through the standard startup theme but nothing else.

No other keyboard buttons work whatsoever. 

I already deleted the bigboxsettings.xml file, upon restart Bigbox created a new one but no change. 

Can anybody please help me? So many thanks in advance!

The default Back keyboard binding is Escape.  From the main view it starts into, you should be able to press Escape, and it'll take you into the System Menu.  From there, go to Options, press Enter (the default Select key) and go to Keyboard Mappings and assign the keys to your liking.

YES! It works again. don't ask me why. After the umpteenth reboot it suddenly works.

Sometimes I honestly think there's a gremlin inside my machine since occasionally I boot up to play and suddenly some things don't work as they did the previous time: some buttons, window placements etc... 

Thanks so much for your help!!

If you have Steam running on your computer make sure it's virtual controller stuff that is on by default is off. Sometimes it can be messing with system inputs in less than ideal ways.
