MancubusBruiser1988 Posted February 12, 2018 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted February 12, 2018 Have you tried deleting your config.cfg file? That's usually the best move if you mess up something on your configuration. 0 Share this post Link to post
MancubusBruiser1988 Posted February 12, 2018 I am sure I have when I deleted the entire folders of both quake spasm and dark places. I'm sure it's a system change due to updates.. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, you're probably right. 17 hours ago, MancubusBruiser1988 said: Recently went to play Quake 1 and the direction pad wdas keys will not work with the touch pad at same time anymore.. Also, touch pad? What are you playing with? 0 Share this post Link to post
MancubusBruiser1988 Posted February 12, 2018 Touch pad on my lap top, the way I've played for years. Don't both with external mouse anymore 0 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted February 13, 2018 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? 0 Share this post Link to post
MancubusBruiser1988 Posted February 13, 2018 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.. 0 Share this post Link to post

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. 0 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted February 13, 2018 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). 0 Share this post Link to post
Opulent Posted February 13, 2018 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. 2 Share this post Link to post
MancubusBruiser1988 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) 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... 0 Share this post Link to post
MancubusBruiser1988 Posted February 13, 2018 solved it, simple as. Just had to disable something in the windows mouse settings. Elan touch pad- TP rejection, unclick enable. Good to go. 1 Share this post Link to post
