Sticky keys fix?

[nuceman]

Today's update to WinEQ 2.10 eradicates the old "Sticky key" issue which plagued everyone who used Global Activation hotkeys, but wouldnt have bothered anyone else.

This bug was fixed as a result of a customer who provided an easy way to reproduce the problem, and should be a lesson to those who do not report their problems or never bother to answer my questions about the problem Smile

I'm having some problems with my looting macros now after todays WinEQ2 Lite update. I have a character that follows me around and loots corpses for me while I kill stuff that runs in the background. I've made no changes to the macros and my internet connection was stable as usual. For some reason my looting character was having trouble looting corpses constantly. He would get stuck in the loot window and the macro would stop. I would have to switch back and end the macro and start it over again.

I noticed that sometimes instead of looting the items it would open the item stats window of the item or sometimes nothing would happen. I've tried using both alt+tab and ctrl+alt+z/c to switch between windows but I still get the same problem. My only guess is the keys were getting stuck when I switched between the windows which is kind of strange since today you updated WinEQ2 to prevent the keys from sticking :\

The only way I could prevent this was to use scroll lock and move my windows so they weren't overlapping each other, which causes some bad lag for me. Any ideas on what to do?

You can tell if keys are sticking by having the memory indicator visible. Theyre not

I might be able to help you if you PM me your loot macro, but I have no idea why it would be affected.

[nuceman]

I'm pretty sure the keys are sticking. I can see the spell names on the buff names and durations on my background window when I switch with alt+tab or any of the ctrl+alt hotkeys, which only show up when I hold alt, also if I alt+left click any items it opens up the item stats window. Which is what the macro keeps doing. I also tried to type something and closed a bunch of my windows on accident cause control was stuck and I didn't notice.

I'm not sure which memory indicator you're talking about for EQ? I checked under WinEQ, Everquest, and PlayNice preferences and I only see hide memory warnings, which I have set to off. I only see memory indicator options under Warcraft III.

I have no problem with sending you my loot macro, but seeing as it has been working fine the last 2 months with no changes and the day WinEQ has an update regarding sticky keys and all of a sudden sticky key symptoms start showing up, well I just find it hard to put any blame on the macro :\

I know this isn't the MQ2 boards or anything but it's a rather short section of the macro that does the looting. The delays were not originally there, I added them thinking maybe it was some sort of lag issue, but I tested it without the delays under maybe 10-15 fps and it was still looting fine as long as I switched out using scroll lock (mouse release).

WinEQ has never reset the status of Alt when you alt+tab out of the window, thats pretty normal behavior. It resets it when you switch back IN though (note that most people dont macro, so it isnt an issue when the window is in the background!). MQ2FPS has a feature in it that resets the modifier keys if you switch away from the window. Did you recently stop using that maybe?

Nevermind about the memory indicator, it's a Pro feature. My bad
