Issues using cheats to practice
-
For several years I have been trying to practice developing strategies and build orders for various maps but I always run into problems when trying to use cheats to create other faction units (playing as one faction and wanting to spawn Cybran engineers so I can build hives). Whenever I press ALT+F2 to open the cheat menu I get a message that tells me that I can't use cheats on this map (mainly the latest DualGap map). Are their only certain maps that allow cheats or am I doing it wrong.

@popsniper are you sure that you enabled cheating in the lobby options menu?

Thanks!! I didn't even know that option was there.
-
I enabled cheats and had the same results! When I use Alt+F2 on the DualGap map, I get the message "Supported Game is required to use this feature." So, your suggestion does NOT work. Can ANYONE tell me how to open the menu for practicing????
-
That sounds more like you have some overlay running that overwrites the ALT+F2 key with something else. NVIDIA ShadowPlay and similar tools do that.

@PopSniper
yes i think its some Nvidia related stuff which is bound to Alt+F2. You have to either unbind that in Nvidia software settings, or in FA, open up the keybindings window and set the cheat menu keybind to something else. -
That actually solved my problem!!!!! Thanks much...who would have guessed that NVIDIA would do such a dastardly thing to us poor unsuspecting FAF players. I can finally do something I have been trying to do for years!
