Guild Wars 2

This bug is really hard to debug, because it happens only in some laptops with NVIDIA Shadowplay and some games, one of those is GW2.

The problem is that some keystrokes are ignored by the game. I.e.:
- You press W to go forward and your character goes forward
- You release it and press it again and it doesnt work
- You release it and press it again and it goes forward
- You’re also lucky and it goes forward the next time
- But maybe this time not?
The probability is about 50%, here’s a 32-try that was excatly 16/16 (Y means it works, N means it doesn’t)

NNYNNNYNYN
NNYYNYYNYY
YNYYNNYYYYNN

It’s absolutely random. BUT! And this is why I decided to post it as a GW2 Bug.
If you hold mouseclick (doesn’t matter which one) and rotate a little bit the camera (right when the mouse disappears) then all keystrokes work perfectly. 0 Missing.

Will you try to fix that? Can I help in any other way? Or do you know any “hack” I can use to make it work?

In fact, more info that tells me this is not only NVIDIA related, but also GW2-related:
When writing to chat, with Shadowplay on, none of the keys miss. I can chat without problems.

It’s just moving my character arround, casting spells, and opening windows (Bag, Black Lion, etc.)

edit: Also, double-click to use doesn’t work. I have to right-click and then select ‘use’

I just thought of a way to patch it. Not sure though if it might get me banned.

What about I have a macro that when I press one key on the keyboard, it right-clicks and presses said key? I think this would temporarily fix this issue and let me record my game without too much problems.

The thing is that “One key per action” rule. Is this considered two actions? (right clicking and pressing the key). From my point of view it’s only one action because effectively what I’m doing is just moving forward, casting a spell, whatever.

OK so i found a solution , you just have to run the game as administrator

Thanks. I tried to find a solution for ages. Running the game as admin (rightclicking the .exe -> run as admin) helps.

Thanks a lot people. Running the game as administrator works for me!

I am using a Nvidia GTX960M, I have been looking for a solution for a week, reinstalling the game several times. I was afraid I would left the game, because is annoying playing with missing keystrokes (specially PvP).

It could be useful if anet make a solution in their own because it still affect some players.
