Keyboard Stickage
« on: September 08, 2008, 10:42:50 pm »
Occasionally, when I press one of my strafe keys (Z and X), the game thinks it's pressed even after I release it. I then have to press it again to make it unstick.

Specs:
- Intel MacBook (second generation)
- Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
- 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
- 1 GB RAM

This happens in Nexuiz as well, but not in any other application. Perhaps it's a problem with the Q3 input system?

I believe its caused by packet loss, and the server doesn't get the message saying to stop moving.
cg_lagometer 1 and see what it says.

I don't notice anything different in the lagometer when stickage occurs. In Nexuiz, it even happens when I'm playing the single-player campaign — and in that case, there shouldn't be any packet loss.

Not sure if it's related, but it happens to me after I press alt+tab and then quickly switch back (alt+shift+tab) without letting go of alt (with windowed mode), and press alt (binded to sprint) while moving. But that also causes trem screen to freeze until I repress alt.

I just want to note that Nexiuz is based on Darkplaces (Quake), and has little to nothing to do with Quake3.

Okay, fair enough, but maybe it's just the Quake input system in general that's causing this.
