strange maybe your keyboard is broken, i'm not having a problem with it at all. i can hit ESC and open the menu and then hit it again to go back to the game.
maybe you should post your computer info as it might just MAYBE be something to do with DF on that specific computer type.

Reminder sent to: the_hdk

Does your Esc key work in other applications?

Also, what OS are you using?

Are you using the vanilla download from http://bay12games.com/dwarves/ [^] or a third-party repackaging such as the Lazy Newb Pack? Have you tried redownloading the game?

What keyboard layout are you using in the Windows keyboard setup?

ok guys I fixed it. I figured it out. it seems Adobe PhotoShop blocks other programs from using the ESC button. (I have that program on nearly always like iTunes so I didnt notice it)

really silly of me. sorry to waste your time :(
