I know this game is actually intended to be USA-only so I doubt anyone will care about this. Yet I'm still gonna post it. Players that use non-English keyboard layouts (mostly for the reason they're not native English speakers) get seriously nerfed in this game as quite some functionality is not available to them. I have a German keyboard and the following stuffs do not work for me:

  • Adding or deleting favourites in the radio stations list: I can't type the "|" char in the game
  • Typing formatted text (colours, bold, italic, etc.) into the chatbox: I can't type "{" and "}" chars in-game
  • I cannot even type an email address as the "@" char can't be typed in-game
The reason for that is: German keyboards feature a key named ALT GR (which is the right ALT key).
It is used for typing these stuffs: @€|{}[]²³\~
The key is absolutely dead in the game. I have niente idea what languages other than German are facing that issue, but I guess there might be some.

Reactions, ideas?
And most important: a fix perhaps?
