Ok this is kind of fatal, you can't go up or down stairs becouse nothing happends when you press < or shift+<, you can try "Alternative keys" but then you can't move.
mine is: ASUS laptop
os: Win Vista

I have played IVAN for few years now with my other comptuter so the problem can't be the user this time.

an idea: Isn't IVAN source code released in public? If it is, maybe one could modify it to read the key set from a text file so anyone could decide their own key sets.

Thanks,

The newest version of my 3D patch has configurable keys.

Funny. My laptop is fairly new and has no such problems.

A bit of topic revival, but, for the record, the < and > work well if you update the old SDL.dll.

Just go to http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php and download the Runtime Library for your system. Then, just put the SDL.dll in the archive instead of the old dll the IVAN directory, and have fun

It worked for me on Windows Vista.
