Wrong keyboard layout

Hi, I've been playing System Shock 2 for the first time yesterday, but when I'm typing, (saved game, chat in multiplayer, etc.) the game is using the UK keyboard layout instead of the US one.

Is there a way to change this?

(http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php/topic,78.0.html) This is probably your problem.
The keyboard layouts you mention are very (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#UK_and_Ireland) similar. And SS2 likely uses an internally locked layout anyway.
Thanks to Raven for the explanation.

SS2 is definitely locked to use a US English keyboard layout, meaning I always have to hunt for the quote keys...

Yeah, I'm having trouble using "Shift" or Caps Lock and "A" (step left) at the same time: when I walk, I can't strafe left.

I had to rebind speed toggle to "«", a small button between "Shift" and "z" on my keyboard.

Is there a way to fix this?
