Computer Hacking not working

[Frraksurred]

When attempting to hack the first computer in the training mission it became apparent that the "interact" button (be it default or remapped) does not 'lock in" your left column selection as the instructions claim it should. Left mouse click works fine for the right column, but nothing I've done coaxes the game into accepting the correct selection for the left column. This of course breaks the game, making it impossible to proceed from that point.

 

Unless anyone knows of a fix for this, I'm simply going to shelve it until it has been patched a few times.

So what is it mapped as, for you? It should be 'space' default.

Did you try pressing the spacebar? The interact button is e by default and is not used in the hacking minigame.

Hi - I had this exact same problem. First of all, thanks to the guys who already replied, wouldn't have fixed this myself without this thread.

 

I was able to get it running by switching the original binding back to Spacebar - and I can still use my secondary binding for interacting with everything else (doors, alarms etc). For what it's worth - the key I'm using is Enter.
