    Well this isnt a Zepto problem, its a incompatibility problem between the game and the "wierd" (non-us..) keyboards.

    Also try the 'Ö' key as it is in the tilde key place of a us keyboard

    Nono, of course it's not Zepto's problem, just thought they might have
    a solution... thought I'd get luck! :)
