[469b] Controls work, but can't type anything (in UI, in game chat)

[msikma]

First of all, thanks for your work in bringing this awesome game to new systems. I'm amazed at the quality of the patch, it works super well.

Although pretty much everything seems to work, I noticed that I'm unable to type anything that isn't a control. That is, all in-game movement works, and I can remap keys, but other than that I can't type anything in either the in-game chat, or in the UI (for example to change the mouse sensitivity or to change player name). One exception is I can type the backspace key in the UI, so I can remove characters but then not type them back.

• System: Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.6 (18G103)
• Game files version: v436
• UnrealTournament.ini
• UnrealTournament.log
• User.ini

I might be doing something wrong since this is the first time I'm trying the new patch (haven't used any older ones), so please let me know if I am or if there's a workaround.

Just realized that the problem might be with my IME. I use Japanese input, which has a few different settings that you switch between where you type Latin characters or Japanese characters. Normally the Latin character input should work identical to "regular" US English input, but in-game it doesn't seem to function.

When I added US English to my list of input options, and switched to it, I started being able to type again.

Weird thing is that if I switch the game to windowed mode, and Cmd+Tab to another program and then back into the game, typing works even with the Japanese IME set to use Latin characters. When I then go back to fullscreen it breaks again. But using the US English input works both fullscreen and windowed.

For those who want to use the workaround, you need to set your input to US English before playing:
