I tried the search engine on this but it didn't find anything. Now it was the second time that i could only write reverse (like: tnemom a tiaw) because he jumps back to the beginning of the line after every single letter. When it happend the first time i Thought maybe something was blocking a key (found out that it could be the Pos1 key) but after I cleaned it it didn't worked at first and than suddenly boom. After 20min or something like that it went back normal.

Now it happened again today, and I tried everything to get rid of this annoying thing but nothing helped, so I tried what would happen if I write into a word document, and surprise, it was normal! Just 10sec before I could only write reverse!

My OS is win2k sp4 with updates and i am using a Keysonic ACK-715EL USB keyboard.

You're right, that is strange.

A Stuck key would have been my first thought as well, you should also check for viruses (it could, potentially, be one of those "joke" viruses designed to annoy you rather than actually damage anything) and if that fails try your keyboard in a different USB port.

You can post a warnings.log, although I doubt it will show anything - I cant imagine that this is a problem with WA itself...we would have seen reports of it by now if it was.

Well, maybe I try an other USB port next time but I don't have any virus (as far as I can trust my scanner) and this just happend twice in about 2month (and also only two times since WA came out and I play it^^). As I said, my first guess was a stuck key too, but since last night I know it better (or I believe to know it better).

The log which is attached is the one after i restarted the game, is there any way to get the warning.log from the session before?


ps.: why can't I make attachments with Opera?!^^

I´ve had exact the same weird error some month ago.. imo @1.3 times.. im using a MS Keyboard..
I searched a long time for the reason, tried everything.. other keyboard, reinstalling the game, scan for viruses.. but found nothing. The good thing is, in the last time it never happens again..

Maybe he has something against Austrians (bin auch Österreicher^^), but just a wild guess...

At least someone else has/had that problem too...
