GP2 keyboard probs

3 posts by 3 people · 24 Oct 1997 - 27 Oct 1997

I have been playing GP2 for some months now and have become accustomed the controlling the car with the keys. I have just bought a new computer and duly installed GP2. However now when I run GP2 it loads and runs fine until you actually enter a race. As soon as you hold any keys down, ie accelerator the system speaker starts beeping and the game freezes until you let go of the keys. Result, can watch pretty race but can't drive in it. Any ideas?

More details about your set-up would be useful, eg:- OS? It could be a keyboard problem, do any other programs/games have problems using the keys or is it *only* gp2? What settings do you have for the keyboard under win95 (if you use win95?) under control panel? and what keyboard drivers do you have in config.sys, autoexec.bat, dosstart.bat, etc. Also check your soundcard & graphics card for conflicts, make sure you have the latest drivers for them. d:?)) * Peter * 8-) Please remove asterix from address to email.

Any ideas? I think there maybe some keyboard related settings you might want to play with in your BIOS setup. I'm wonder if the typematic rate is set weird.
