Has anyone every heard the game beep during combat or other action? I'm getting a bug report and trying see if anyone else is having the problem or if it is perhaps a system/driver problem.

pressing shift 5 times causes sticky keys to turn on, with a loud beep.

if sticky keys is not disabled, I think a player can actually trigger it during frantic combat.

Actually I do experience a bleep or two during game play (no sticky keys as I have remapped the key board)

I've heard it a bit when I was playing Transcendence on WINE (on a mac) but not when it's on the PC.

Whenever I have accidently triggered sticky keys, sticky keys window pops up after the beep for me to resolve while Transcendence (or perhaps other games) runs in the background. Needless to say, sticky keys were disabled soon after.

Sticky keys is one of the most irritating features ever. Microsoft clearly had no UI testers at the time. =.=

No beeps on my end here...

I'm not sure; there have been very occasional soft blips while the game is running, mostly in background, but I'd put it down to other things also running in background

Nothing obtrusive or anything I could definately pin down to Trans though.. I'll try paying more attn..

I have to agree with that assessment.

And I haven't had beeps since I turned off sticky-keys.
