Boosting While Rolling Issue

Freya · Post by **Freya** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 9:16 pm

I used to be able to boost and roll left or roll right, handy of course.

Lately (not sure when it first appeared) I can't seem to roll left while boosting, roll right while boosting is fine.

FWIW it's mapped to shift-a to roll left and shift-d to roll right, and tab to boost.

Is this a problem anyone else has noticed?

I put this in here instead of helpline as I think it's likely related to a release update at some point.

I think there is a limit to how many keys can be sent to your pc depending on keyboard type.

So maybe you changed the key combo or keyboard?

Nope I've changed nothing, it did work before and now it doesn't.

Keep in mind the same # of keys are required to boost while I roll left or right, and it's just left that's blocked.

That doesn't necessarily disqualify the theory, some keyboards are just weird like that.

Odd that it worked before and stopped, though.

Different keyboards have different groups of keys grouped together and won't register multiple keys from the same group at one time, or some @#(! like that
I think "anti ghosting" is the thing to look for when looking for a keyboard that doesn't do such things

I had that problem before. Psychosis fixed it for me. You can seach on the thread but I believe the issue was I had my mouse wheel (roll) and keyboard mappings pointing to the same keystrokes. Allegiance got confused. This can happen after an upgrade where you think you haven't changed anything or if your joystic/mouse software has been upgraded. I'd check my profiles in Allegiance and in my mouse/joystick software just to make sure your not overlapping.
