Hi,
In the last two weeks I've been having an issue with my keyboard where the WASD, -, Tab, and Enter keys do not respond when in game. I recently returned to the game at the end of last year, prior to whatever may have happened about two weeks ago, everything was working as expected.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and have a generic USB keyboard (Adesso - http://www.adesso.com/products/product-detail-286.html if it helps). So there aren't any special drivers that I should need. I'm typing on this keyboard now, so clearly it works within Windows, and it works with FFXIV. (I know, different game, different engine, just saying the keyboard seems to work within Windows and other games)
I've tried changing the Keyboard types within game. I don't know what it may have defaulted to when I came back last year, when I checked after some keys decided not to work I see that it was set to Compact 2. I've moved this to Full and Compact 1 all with the same result.
Key mapping within the game shows that WASD are all movement keys, - opens menu, etc. I tried manually changing forward to W, etc. Still no luck.
I've also tried deleting my User folder in \Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\USER\<randomstuff> thinking that if something became corrupt in my user settings starting from scratch may fix it. Unfortunately, this did nothing either.
After searching through google results and a few other game forums, I can't really find anyone with the same issue as me. Most have been gaming keyboards that needed driver updates, one mentioned a similar problem to mine, but had no follow up with a resolution.
Any thoughts as to what I could check? I'd prefer to not have to buy a new keyboard, especially without some idea as to what may have caused these keys to stop working now.
TIA,
-Rei
