The question here is when you activate and try these options in the game?
At least for both of the CoH titles it makes no sense to activate the first options because the game doesn't make them accessible so far. The first missions are more of a tutorial to the game. They all work later on as intended.
Even if that were the case, it would at least say 'activated' when I pushed the button, but, no, this is in Skirmish vs. AI.
I had issues at one point with some trainer where buttons wouldn't work. I had to remap them. Made them on the same buttons still but for some reason it worked. May give that a try.
Thanks. I tried remapping the keys, but no luck.
And I wrote about the campaign mode in which all options work as intended.
I tried it in campaign mode, but numbers 1-6 didn't respond, and 7-9 say 'activated," then, within a second, 'deactivated.'
