Keyboard stuck (w) after some time with a few games

Post by MaximB »

Hello !

This problem happens to me in Gothic2 and now on Two Worlds.
After some time when I press "w" (forward) the character continues to run forward without stopping and all the other keys react slowly.
Only when I press several times "w" again it stops.

I'm currently using wine 1.3.6 but it happened even with earlier wine versions.
I'm using Ubuntu 64-bit.

Thanks ahead
Maxim.

If that's not a typo, you need to upgrade before doing anything else. 1.3.6 is old; the current development release is 1.3.37.

O...sorry it is
I'm using 1.3.36

But as I've said this problem happened in the older versions as well.
And the mice worked fine when that key got stuck.

See the sticky at the top of the forum for the reason editing is disabled.

No one else has reported any keyboard problems with either of the games you mentioned. Are you sure the problem isn't with the keyboard itself? Have you tried a different one?

It happens when I continue pressing "w" to walk for about a minute.
I don't think that the keyboard key stuck because when I quit and restart the game it works fine.

I've changed the forward key to "e" and the problem remains - so it's not a keyboard issue.
