PoE turns on Sticky Keys in Windows
|
I normally have Sticky Keys turned off all the time, but after the most recent hotfix whenever I have PoE as my focus window the setting turns on by itself. Tabbing over to other programs does not change it but if I look at my PoE window the setting turns itself back on. This is a problem as it messes with how ctrl, alt, and shift are used in game to interact with items and skills.

This is also happening to me, same situation. I turned off the sticky key turn on setting, and it seems to have stopped now, but I'll see if it happens again.

Yesterday without sticky keys Today ALL enc in hive ends with unresponse character and windows sound about sticky keys!
I change keyboard, and turn off them in windows setting (they WAS already turn off after Windows reinstall less than week ago, today first they was ON ?) just about I start play - again hive enc and at the end sticky keys sound THIS IS MAD. Any league end must be broken by POE team? You guys allways mess league ends! |

Without obvious gaslighting please.
1 - poe work fine, I reinstalled windows about week before - sticky keys was disabled. 2 - 25 February i have first case with sticy keys, my character is sett on attack as letter W - after clear some outdoor hive enc. it stuck beetwen mobs with keyboard non responsing, not even a way to pause or exit game, I must hardreset PC. 3 - after second case inside a hive I must salve character exp again by hardreset, then I start check thinghs throught. I find that windows sticky keys was enabled and first was thinking that some MS update mess things up. When turn off them not help, I checked other things inc. usb connections and even changed keyboard. Nothing help, windows setting stay turned off and most time when sticky keys activated it was at the end of hive encounters. Google it and find out that same time I not only one with that problem. AND YES, I may be biased - still I play enough leagues to know that when message about near end of league is send most time some of next paths will mess something in game. Dont get me wrong, I think that game itself is good, I may have issues with some solutions choseen by staff, and still over all it have no real competition on market. That mention I usally dont voice my opinion unless something is really bad. |

Change the shortcut key combo for sticky keys in windows first. Sounds like you're hitting it because you're pressing those keys in game (shift+ something idk) thus toggling it.
