Controls messed up

Post » Thu Aug 20, 2009 3:37 pm

I just got the game and was super excited. Now I can't move anywhere and I have no clue why. When I try setting my own controls it does not let me use letters, only numbers and keys like shift or control. My abilities don't work. the only things that I can do are look around, iron-sight, and shoot. Sometimes not even that much. And i switch guns randomly. Someone please help. I really want to play but I cant even complete the first challenge map.

I'm having the same problem. Its registering every letter key as a number 0-9 randomly. the other keys seem to work and the mouse works fine. If it matters im using a microsoft sidewinder x4 keyboard. Rather disappointed im unable to play right away with my friends since none of them have this problem.. any ideas would be appreciated

I'm using a standard Dell keyboard so I dont know if the keyboard is the problem. I have my doubts that this may be part of the problem, but I ordered the Spec ops pack. Did you pre-order any pack at all?

Glad I'm not the only one having this issue... sorry, not that I want others to have problems. I have not tried holding control yet, maybe it will work for me. My computer is newly put together so that may be my problem... some new and old salvaged parts. I honestly have no idea what to do. Currently I am downloading it the to other computer, but its taking far far longer. I'm hoping it will work on that one, if it does not then we might have defective copies.

It worked! I have no Idea why... I'm sorry. If you have another computer you can load it on then I highly suggest it. If not then try uninstalling and then reinstalling. I hope it works for you.

I noticed that if I hold Lcontrol it unmaps all of my key commands.

I have the same problem, does reinstalling fix it? or is moving to a new comp the only fix ? I've tried reinstalling with the same result :-/

Edit: tried to uninstall/ reinstall again, didn't fix it. can only move when left CTRL is held down, otherwise all the letters on the keyboard register as 0-9. would love a fix for this.

Wow, a lot more people have this problem than I realized. I actually got it to work on both comps now. My dad removed some Comcast version of Norton anti-virus software and now it works fine. Most of you probable don't have that installed, so I'd suggest running a clean-boot. That way any interfering programs won't be running.

I just uninstalled the Comcast Constant Guard, and it seems that my controls work now, Norton has no problems for me... just Comcast's dumb security feature. We may have found the culprit.
