dod:s problem/movement problems/help

eastbaysteez · 01-18-2011, 05:19 PM

i havnt played dod:s in a while but i started feeling the urge again. my computer is alot better then it used to be but for some reason im having an issue with player movement. when holding down w/forward i move for a few steps and then it just stops and i have to take my finger off and push down again only to have it stop after five more steps or so. the graphics seem fine and ive tried 3 different keyboards. i switched the controls to my gamepad and i can move around without any stops but im not going to play on a gamepad for obvious reasons. has anyone else had this issue or know of any way i can resolve it? i feel like ive tried everything. it does the same thing in half life and counterstrike 1.6 so im having a hard time thinking its a fps issue. helllpppp

Sounds like a broken keyboard. What happens if you open notepad and hold down w?

eastbaysteez · 01-18-2011, 06:17 PM

just tried that and it works fine doesnt stop.. could it be that because of updates my computer cant run it or something? if so why would the gamepad work still? you can see how frustrating this is lol.

If you have a spare laying around try that, if its usb try a different port, and you aren't using any other keys besides w while running forward are you? Some keyboards have odd combo press limits.

He says that he's tried 3 different keyboards guys.

The port sounds like the most likely cause to me.

If your using USB switch to another as suggested above. If your using PS2 try a USB keyboard. Another thing to try is changing the keyboard settings to use a diiferent key to go forward.

i use a wireless keyboard i dont have a regular usb one maybe i should try that. i played it on my dads computer it worked ok fora bit then started again. that was on a different wireless keyboard as well. i just dont know it sucks everything works fine but the movement. maybe ill get a regualar usb plug in keyboard. do you guys think it isnt working because of updates maybe?

Try putting -autoconfig into your dods launch options.

eastbaysteez · 03-28-2012, 12:05 AM

Did you look into the guys sticky key suggestion?

controlpanel->accessibility->keyboard

all that ♥♥♥♥ should be unchecked.
