The forum

I have installed PlayOnMac and the windows version of steam with ease, but I am having issues with actually playing Half-life 1 on steam. The game opens and runs fine, but it does not pick up my keyboard at all- it does not recognize that I am pressing buttons. I have a mac wireless keyboard, and have also tried a wired logitech keyboard, neither working. Any tweaking I can do to fix this?

Try to change the input settings of XQuartz

X11 icon -> Settings

I tried changing all the input settings with different combinations, but still no keyboard response.

Then, try Install -> Other -> Fix OpenGL OSX

Unfortunately still not working.

Hum .. What about disabling fullscreen ?

Already tried it :(...could it have to do with the keyboard being wireless making it not compatable?

PlayOnMac sucks. I've had this same problem with Half Life, the only reason i got PlayOnMac. I actually bought Half Life for Windows on Steam because I actually believed that PlayOnMac would allow me to play it. Not so. First the program makes you install all these other programs just to get it to work, then i had to install Steam for Windows, after hours of waiting, I finally boot up HL. The keyboard doesn't even recognize it, and there's not a thing I can do to make it work. Then i found this forum and saw that this guy has been ignored by the Admin after everything suggested doesnt work. I'm uninstalling PlayOnMac right now. Thanks for nothing.

How much costs PlayOnMac ? Oh yes, I forgot ! It's free !
If I do not answer, it is just because I'm having exams and I have no idea (for the moment) where does the problem come from. I'll try to find some solution, but I do have a personal life ! I'm not your dog

Umm okay here's a quote from my previous post " Thanks for nothing." that says it all right there and thanks for reminding me that its free. You think with a small list of games its supposed to play they would at least work. just saying.

You can correct the scripts if you are not happy.
