hi guys,

i've a problem and personally i'm stumped

when playing BF2, my keys appear to stick. usually this means my guy goes runnin sideways into the open, unless i keep spinning the mouse around until it lets up. or if in chopper/jet, the yaw goes crazy and i go spinning off into the distance. while the keys are being gay and 'sticky' this also effects my mouse, can't scroll weapons, or fire sometimes. usually after the keys let up my gun offloads a mag unless i click the mouse again.

now to state the obivous, my keyboard is not shagged. the proof, i've tried three keyboards now, including a brand spankin new Logitech multimedia elite USB. my previous was PS/2

also, i have rebuilt my system, just the other nite, thinking that maybe somewhere along the line something went wrong. but to no avail

my second problem, what isn't so bad, is windows load up times. you know the windows splash screen, with the scrolling blue bar, sometimes my pc goes thro it in 2 or 3 scrolls (5secs?) but other times, it sits there far ages. seriously, enough time to make a cuppa. i don't get it. are my hard drives fucked?? does my pc have AIDS??

any help recieved (before i beat my pc with a pointed stick and bail it outta the window) is greatly appreciated, because i'm at a loss

cheers guys

Spec:

AMD 64 3400+ 754

Have you got a decent speed internet connection?  I used to get that problem before i got my connection upgraded to 1 meg and bought some extra RAM.

yeah sorry forgot to mention, my internet connection is 1meg thro NTL.

the problems only started occuring in the last few months. my game is very smooth, pings of 20 so i don't think its net problems.

i was wondering, maybe it could be over heating? my g/card alone runs at 10c more than it usually does on desktop. but my case has plenty of fans, so i dunno

cheers for the reply dude

does it do it just in game? or if you open up say microsoft word press a Key and it repeats its self like
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee untill you hit the E key again then it stops?.. if its in game only, then i'd say un-install, re-install, re-patch etc, or perhaps windows may have the Aids and require a re-install beyond that i don't know...


also if you haven't installed the drivers for your keyboard/mouse do so....

nope it only happens in games (it happens in ghost recon too)

i've only just reinstalled my pc and bf2 the other nite, using the full 1.3 patch in the following order:

bf2
sf
patch 1.3
ef
af
patch 1.3

before this i used to install bf2 using the incrementals in order. i've never installed the drivers for my keyboard. it was fine before.

cheers for the suggestions tho

do a virus scan.   if you have any macro's running, turn them off.

the mouse is problebly cause of a option selected (config screen | mouse ) that makes it 1 click drag thingy....

the keys i dont know, could also be something like that, or a virus. run something like hitmanpro (www.hitmanpro.com).

I wouldn't have the drive this way round - stick the OS on an IDE drive and 'stuff' and games on the SATA... How much work does your HDD seem to be doing when windows is starting up? If the HDD light is continuously on i would suggest HDD, could be a lot of other things as well thoguh... As for the keyboard, are you using the drivers that came with it? If so, try it with the windows ones...

you could be on to something there, most of the time on load up, the sata drive usage light just flashes as it goes thro the load up, but on the slow load ups its on solidly. but once its in windows the usuage is normal i guess, blinks everyonce in a while with msn and media player up.

+1 for ur help tho cheers

as for viruses, i'm pretty sure thats a no. i use AVG and adaware for viruses and spyware, and they're both shit hot at what they do, plus seeing as its a fresh rebuild, my comp is clean

cheers tho, keep 'em coming

the mouse scroll not switching weapons is POSSIBLY cause of a wrong setting, a friend of mine had it.

goto config screen, click mouse, open the tab "scrollwheel" or simular (got it in dutch here   ), set the rows to scroll to 3, it will usualy be fixed.


however i got mine on 1 and it never had a problem...... (the friend has the same mouse :p)

yeah the mouse problem only happens when the keys are being key, which for me points out that my systems clogged up or freezing. too many commands going at one time or something

may run disc checker etc tonite and see how my discs look
