I ran into this issue after taking a sceen shot a few days ago, my function keys just up and stopped working. I've updated to the latest driver, still not working, can confirm they work outside of sh5, but not in. F1 down to print screen/pause break, all of them are no longer functional. commands cfg still shows they're bound, so im at a loss.

Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Running any mods? (Especially any that modify keys or commands)

Could be "mod soup" or perhaps a conflict with the keyboard configuration utility. How about save game corruption? Do the keys work with the single missions? Could even be a re-install situation. :hmmm:

Is it a logitech? Look to the right of the function keys, sometimes there is a button that lets you cycle between multiple "Sets" of function keys, which in real life usually results in the F keys seemingly not working. Mine has blue text and says "F mode"

no save game corruption, only using visual mods, tried "SHV 1.1 Key Commands and F1 Help Layout", but was having the issue previous to this mod, was actually hoping it'd fix it.

yes it is logitech ,ex 100, but i don't have the fn toggle lock, works the same as using shift or ctrl. ironically using fn brings my shortcut applications right out. :damn:

tried a reinstall as well, no dice, still not working.

its frustrating because i had a really nice screenshot lined up during my recent resupply.

It's not that. It's far more likely that a temporal electrical vortex has split the fabric of time and space between your couch and computer and is threatening the very existence of this universe.

You owe it to the cosmic community to stop using wireless devices and in fact all forms of electrical equipment in your home so that the rend in space cannot feed off the energy and therefore grow larger, allowing the Zugtraxian War Fleet from coming through the crack and destroying us all.
