Can anyone help? I can't test my hold, instead I have to go and change my location on the game every single time and restore my location if I made an adjustment before or later so i have to play more when I'm rushing. Any clues how to fix this?

When in the editor, specifically when editing a room (not in the main editor screen), press F5 AND THEN click on a square from which to start. Then you will start playing from that square.

Yes I know that. It's that I press F5 click a square and nothing happens.

Ok, when you press F5, does the text "(Testing room)" get added to the bar at the top which displays the level and room? And when you hold your mouse cursor over the room for a second or two, do you get text appearing that says "Select a square to begin playing the room from"?

Because if not, then it doesn't seem to be registering the F5 key press.

Have you tried recording a demo in-game with F5? Does that work?

Hmmm... does hitting F7 while playing display a yellow step counter at the top left corner of the playfield?

If not, do you have any other programs running that might intercept your function keys?

np: Star You Star Me - Vega Cruises (Simple Things)

Do your function keys work for any other program on your computer?

Yes they do. And I tried turning off EVERY program off then trying but it didn't work I'll see if I can change the controls. (if I can)
