Unit group hotkeys sometimes do not select groups

Post by harcha »

Hello,

Recently I made a new PC for my gaming needs (WIndows 10), but I keep encountering this bug in TAD where unit group hotkeys do not respond some of the time. So I will be mid game and so far everything is working fine, but then in the middle of the fight unit selection hotkey (i use 1 - 5) will not select units and last selection (sometimes nothing selected) will remain. I have tried mashing the key over and over when this occurs, but still nothing, so cannot be keyboard at fault. This happens at random, but usually mid fight (has happened also when just tasking military to waypoints).

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:
Reinstalled Steam copy,
Reinstalled pirated CD copy (no cracks required on latest ESO patch),
Changed input keyboard language in Windows (previously I had an issue where NFS Shift will not start, turned out this was due to custom keyboard layout I use) to various languages like Latvian standard, English US, English UK,
Change settings in game - enable IME input, hotkeys do not allow conflicts (the unit group hotkeys show bright yellow meaning no conflicts).

I have another PC with Windows 7 that does not have this glitch with same peripherals connected, same Steam install, same savefile and settings. Do you have any ideas how I can further troubleshoot?

Maybe the keyboard is faulty? No idea honestly

maybe you have a system hotkey under a unit hotkey and when you select one it overlaps with the other

Yesterday seemed ok but I still need to check more. The nature of problem is random so not certain yet.

Every now and then I forget to close Mouse without borders for using one mouse in 2 pc and the control key doesn't work. It's very likely what is causing the problem is some software that uses the keyboard. So try to open task manager and look around if you see any strange programs running in the background
