Try restoring the hotkeys to default in the settings interface, if not, just set mouse zoom to default (by right clicking) and it will activate non-esc mode.
For some reason, users who set custom hotkeys mess up the esc detection system. But you can still run the script without esc mode, but the mouse zoom MUST be on default, otherwise the bot will be confused. Once you configure the startup, the bot will run flawlessly, so good luck ^^
