alienFX keyboard lighting

[Shivem]

When I play this game it causes the backlighting on my keyboard to stop working. It flashes a few keys here and there. I have about 20 games on this alienware m17x and none of them cause this except for Neverwinter. Anyone know a fix for this?

In your system tray, right click on the alien head (for your command center) and uncheck the item that says "enable 3rd party access". There are a handful of other games (Fable III, Witcher 2 i think, etc.) that do change the lighting.

Thanks

No such option anymore, does anyone have a fix? Why is this on by default and why isnt there an option in the options IN GAME to turn this off?

In the command center, at the top right, there is a settings button. Click the button and then go to Misc. and disable API. Hope this helps.

I found the option, but I noticed that Neverwinter applies some dynamic effects, such as red leds blinking when at low health. I kind of like it but want to customise it further. Anyone knows how?

I'm glad I saw this thread, because I was experiencing this issue on my MSI and I thought my laptop was going haywire.
