Black Plague - Issues Entering Password "1167"

[plutomaniac]

Must be an MAS version issue. The steam version for MAC + windows keyboard did not reproduce the problem at the given save file.

There is a fix for this issue in QA right now.. Once it's approved an update will be submitted to MAS.

Any word on when the fix will be available in the App store?

This is also a problem for me. Any idea when this will be fixed?

Glad to know that this issue is being fixed, i just started playing black plague today and made it up to that point. I also have a Macbook pro with the numbers on top keyboard layout and it didnt work for me when i tried typing

I am not so glad that I have been waiting for the fix for 2 months now.

While this is not the best solution, I have found a work around.
1. Locate the Penumbra application in your finder window
2. Right click on it and select "show package contents"
3. Navigate to Contents/Resources/BlackPlague/interfaces/
4. Locate the document called "04_howard_gui.hps" and open it in text edit
5. Make a duplicate of the document (The duplicate is the one we are going to edit)
6. Scroll down until you see a line of code like this: if(GetWidgetString("PasswordText", "Text") == "1167") 7. Erase the 1167 so that your code looks like this: if(GetWidgetString("PasswordText", "Text") == "")
8. Save the text file with the exact same name as the original file
9. Right click on your new file and click on "get info"
10. Delete the .txt at the end of your file name
11. Delete or rename the old file and replace it with your new file
12. Enjoy

Thank u man, it works. Note for Frictional games, why not just make an on screen keyboard for entering codes next time.
