DudleyAz Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Okay gang, I need some help please! Since installing DCS World and the accompanying A-10 patch I have been experiencing an odd issue. It seems that while in game all key commands are being registered by the game AND by the Windows desktop simultaneously? My first clue that this was happening was when I pressed some keys I would hear the Win 7 input error 'boink'. Most, but not all of the commands still work in the game, but they are also being recognized by Windows and if it has an existing Windows function, they are executing commands there as well, which are causing issues because it is shutting off some apps I have running in the background like VAC, or occastionally jumping me all the way back to the desktop. I can resolve the issue by running in 'full screen' mode, but then my exports to Helios for my MFD's don't work anymore. I had none of these issues when running A-10 prior to the DCS World updates. All of my other things are working fine like my triple screen .lua, my keyboard mapping .lua, etc, and I can tell that the keystrokes are being sent, it's just that it is also registering out of game. I have reached the end of my knowledge and ability, so any help would be greatly appreciated. In game I am using: TM Warthog stock, VAC for voice control of AI Wingman, etc, Helios for touch screen control, Track IR5, Win 7 Pro 64 with all updates, Eyefinity triple screen plus a 4th screen (touch screen). Thanks, Dud P.S. I am also posting this on the SimHQ forums. (shotgun approach) If it worked perfectly... what's the fun in that? :joystick:
LiveBait Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I have a similar issue that i resolve by ALT+TAB out of game, then back into the game. Not 100% sure its the same thing though, as my keystrokes are not registered ingame when this is happening, i just hear the windows ding and nothing happens ingame. Good luck

ShuRugal Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 don't worry, this is intended behavior. Otherwise, why would everyone be experiencing it in a release version?
DudleyAz Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 A quick update. I spent some time yesterday going through and trying all of the combinations of checking/unchecking the "Disable Aero Theme" and "Full Screen" options. I was having the same problems across the board... until I went back to the original state of having both of them unchecked. All of a sudden everything worked perfectly! :thumbup: This is how I had started out the day and it was not working correctly. So the only thing I can think is that somehow, somewhere there was an entry in a lua file that was conflicting, and after going through all of the checking and unchecking those two options, it finally registered?? Anyway, it seems the problem is resolved, and I was able to successfully complete three flights with working VAC, exported MFDs, and no Windows 'bonking' in the background... life is good! :pilotfly: Now if only I could get my copy of DCS AH-64D to install correctly.. oh wait... that's just a dream... maybe one day! Thanks to all you replied and gave me input. Dud If it worked perfectly... what's the fun in that? :joystick:
