keyboard inputs messed up

**tiborg** · 05-25-2011, 09:41 PM

I try to type in my player name and instead of the letters I get random numbers. When the game starts the character is constantly moving, am unable to control with wasd. cant access journal. downloaded patch and upgraded video driver, no help.
thanks, Gregg

We need more information about your computer, operating system, steam or retail version, graphics card. Do you have Mun Lock on? That should be the problem. Look at an example:

Num Lk Off: My name is pluto
Num Lk On: 0y na0e 5s *34t6

You see? You must be having Num Lock on. That's why...

num lock is off. its a gateway w/ intel i72 8.6 ghz, ati radeon 5700 graphics,
windows 7 64bit. bought today at Fry's. when trying to input my name the first letter is correct. after that its numbers in sequence 0-9. on the disc it says go to valuesoft.com for tech help but the game isn't listed in their tech area. its listed in the purchase area though
thanks for your help, gregg

8.6GHz cpu? What's that? An alien cpu? Try updating all your computer main drivers like gpu, chipset, motherboard, mouse etc... This has to be a driver problem of your computer.

tiborg, what was your solution? I'm having the same problem.

Solved my issue by uninstalling Comcast's Constant Guard. It contains a program, GuardedID, that blocks keylogging software, which is used by Amnesia (and Crysis, and Portal, and tons of other games), to set up their control schemes. You can uninstall the annoying Constant Guard while still keeping the useful Norton Security Suite. Game now works flawlessly.
