Cheat window does not open

Post by J1ggl »

So I’d like to open the Cheat window (sry) in OpenTTD on my iMac, but everytime i press the shortcut, the screen just flashes black for a little moment and nothing happens. No cheats. The game just going on. I tried several key combinations, and Ctrl + Alt("Option") + C seems to be the correct one, because it is the only one that actually does something at all. When I switch to Windows the cheats work fine, but there are several other problems which really make me wanna use my Mac for OpenTTD.

Have you ever encountered this (especially Mac players, even though there’s probably few)? Is there any other way to open up the cheat menu? Is there a config line or something?

I would give a try on changing the shortcut for the Cheats window; on the hotkeys.cfg file (no idea where it is on Macs), under [maintoolbar], check cheats = CTRL+ALT+C (default value)
Try set it with a different combination. I never tried it, it's only a suggestion :)

Do you run in full screen or windowed? That made a difference for me. In full screen I had the same symptom as you, but when running windowed, I could minimize or command-tab to the cheat window (back on Maveric/Yosemite, haven't used it since)

Have you tried Cmd + Alt + C ? I think Ctrl and Cmd have the same binary value.
