Can't assign groups 1, 2 or 3?

Hi all,

I've played Blitzkrieg on and off for years and have never experienced this issue. I reinstalled it today and it's saved all my graphics/sound/gameplay settings from the last time I played, but for some reason I can no longer CTRL + group squads 1, 2, and 3. 4-0 are fine, but 1-2-3 don't work.

I've tried restarting my game and PC but to no avail.

I tried loading Steam CoH vanilla to see if the problem was still in there and it was as well (so this isn't necessarily the mod's fault), but I wonder if you guys know what the solution is?

Going to verify the game's integrity now.

Hmm, maybe try to alt-tab.. then go back to your game and check again!
Let me know if it worked...

I found the answer, and it's a weird one.

For anyone with an Nvidia GPU and the GeForce Experience software installed, in your settings you need to disable the "Share" facility. For some reason this blocks CTRL + 1, 2, 3 (tested in TW: Warhammer and Chrome Browser tab-swapping, as well as CoH and Blitzkrieg), despite these keybindings not being part of the changeable keybinds.

Disabling Share instantly fixed the problem for me.
