Quake 1 controlls stopped working

Recommended Posts

I'm not on any Quake forum so I'll ask here..
Recently went to play Quake 1 and the direction pad wdas keys will not work with the touch pad at same time anymore.. So now there is no free look while walking or strafing.
It does work on the arrow keys on the right however, but that's not how I play..
It must be a configuration change maybe when updated in the system.
No console command or game config has worked..
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried deleting your config.cfg file? That's usually the best move if you mess up something on your configuration.

I'm sure it's a system change due to updates..

Yeah, you're probably right.

Also, touch pad? What are you playing with?

Well, that's an unusual configuration, so I wouldn't be too surprised if that broke after an update.

 

I don't have much knowledge on the subject, so I'm afraid that I can't really help you, besides suggesting you to try a different control scheme. Have you tried to play with ESDF or something like that?

Unusual?? It's what I've done for years on every lap top. The built in mouse I am meaning. No I haven't don't want to do something I'm not used to, but will try..

Ohhh ffs, my brain gave up there for a sec, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about a touch screen for some reason.

 

BTW, I've had the same issue in some laptops, same reason why I've always used an external mouse. It probably has something to do with the 3 key press limit at any given time that most laptops have.

Another thing: are you having this issue in Quake only, or does it happen with other games as well? If it's the latter, you'd probably have better luck asking on some tech forums (Tom's Hardware, for example).

First off, bonus points for playing the real game.  Seems like everyone plays the crap mods and online source ports these days.

Did you try -dinput ? 

It is probably Synaptic, TouchPad, PalmCheck or something similar that is controlling the touchpad input.  You need to either change the settings for the touchpad controller or disable it.  Windows thinks you never want to use both input devices simultaneously, because everyone just writes textfiles or watches youtube 24/7.

It is only happening in Quake. Not other games.

 

I do actually play mods but regardless it just does this to Quake in general now (didn't a week ago before update)

And it happens when running it either through Darkplaces or Quake Spasm.

I have messed around with mose setting but I can't figure out what is causing this. I had a similar problem with D3 but I fixed that ages ago and can't remember.
It's definitely something to do with keys and touch pad options but I don't know how to customize this...
