Not a big one, but something that caused us a bit of trouble when playing TCP/IP the other day.
The recent patch activated the number-pad on the keyboard. When entering the IP address while attempting to access a network game, using the number-pad will not work. The numbers show up correctly, but something is screwy in the translation. Entering the IP through the number-row above the keyboard works fine. This is with Windows XP.
This caused a fun exchange the other night:
"You must have entered it wrong!"
"Yadda-dot-yadda-dot-yadda, right?"
"Yeah, is that what you typed?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot!?"
"No comment."
"Are you sure you the server is connected?"
"Everyone is on but you. Did you disable your firewalls?"
"Yeah, I even bypassed the router. I'm out there naked with my *** hanging out."
"Are you SURE you typed the number right?"
"Go to hell!"
