Shovel, since we have been communicating on the "Steam" chat line, I'm not sure if you have this issue resolved. As I said, Sand and I think maybe there is key binding conflict on your end somewhere. Many Beatniks read this so maybe they can offer some suggestions. I understand your problem to be that space bar works for everything but will not deploy your chute on respawn. Nothing works.
Hopefully you will get this sorted soon!
