With the account failing to sync and asking me to input my Email in game, I cannot type the @ symbol as it is also my console key of ' please change console to the standard ` key? I cannot access options to change this within game (if it is doable) because they cannot be accessed untill you log in.

I'm getting the same issue. It seems restarting the client is the only solution in order to log in.

I think I'm using the UK Extended keyboard layout (maybe UK Standard, but the '@' is in the same place either way so it probably doesn't matter which)

Additionally,
in spanish keyboards both "?" and apostrophe symbols open the console. So, for example, we still can't use them to chat.

the bind for the console is in C:Program Files (x86)MeteorEntertainmentHawkenInstalledHawkenFilesEngineConfigbaseinput.ini  line 233 if  you open it with notepad++

This happens to me too and restarting or rebooting makes no difference for me.

Great, thanks for the fix :D

When I mentioned restarting the client, I only meant it would hopefully log in after restarting the game - it obviously won't fix the keybinding.

IMHO, this is still a defect though, and should at least be rebindable in the options menu. I'll happily provide instructions to reproduce etc, but there's probably already enough info in this thread to cover that.

EDIT: I'm having trouble getting the fix to work - would you mind telling me what you changed the binding too? I think I might have picked something stupid.
