You with the chat/esc key problems, when starting the game you may see an indicator of those 'bugs' when login movie doesn't show (if you didn't disable it) - instead of which only black color is shown without sound.
You should then log in e.g. eu1 and then switch to eu2 from garage to remove bugs.
As expected, works untill client restart.
cheers, and bring back the damn melty crosshairs ^^
