Odd Bug - Three Games

[TrueWOPR]

Between "Earth 2150" "Earth 2160" and "KnightShift"
The keyboard is wholly responsive in gameplay, but in any textbox where you're to type it's horrifically unresponsive.
I can hit the 'K' key all day and never get a single letter, but if I rapidly hit "HJK" in order, then it'll register the "K"
Works as a hotkey - but refuses to type in any textboxes.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I'm running Windows 11 (I know...), have tried both Generic PnP and SteelSeries keyboards (I've had issue with SS in the past), running games on an Nvidia RTX 3060.
Thanks to any of the wonderful geniuses who have any remote idea what's going on here.

It's just god-awful TopWare programming from 2001 or so. If IEO patches don't already fix this for you, then I don't know what to tell you. I am perma banned from InsideEARTH [and all InsideUniverse servers directly controlled under the IEO Council], but they are disorganizational chaos anyways Lmfao. [Or at least used to be, to be fair -> Server is MUCH cleaner now in their main Earth Series Discord, so props to that. ]

Backstory:
Skeltek dragged me into his stupid nonsensical "think about it for a few weeks" and then needs a nonstop pesturing by Jmp32 himself just to even get that clown to even start. I took his side and Skeltek ranted for eternity about "Animal this and Animal that..." blah bla bla... and this was ofc for years and surely enough I never managed to get anything done with "Sket-lon". Bunch of pointless drama involving TopWare CEO Dirk Hassinger directly and in-fighting between Skeltek+Jmp32 versus InsideEarthOperations [InsideEARTH], just to end up perma damaging relations of the community in general with TopWare Interactive. Ofc I went stupid and asked for money etc for basic fixes but Dirk didn't want anything to do with fixing the game anyways [Guardian had already fixed these with the EarthFixes.ieo] modules. Animal was right all along, he even told me directly in DMs that Skeltek should just leave if he wasn't going to contribute stuff. But yeah bla bla bla... This is just a slightly unpacked version of multiple years of pointless cancer that happened between the three of us [IEO vs Skeltek+Jmp32 vs TopWare]...

Honestly I don't really like any of the three parties, but at least InsideEarth has some real sanity keeping me perma banned. Especially in light of recent happenings involving myself. -> https://thaldren.us/

Looks like its a problem between win11 and the game. Maybe it can help to deactivate Overlays. 🤔😅

It is an engine problem, nothing to do with Windows itself. I was originally on the IEO [Community Team from 2017+ onwards, not the 2006 one with official ties to the original TopWare Interactive team contracted with Zuxxez Entertainment] Patch Development Team before my InsideEARTH Council removal. My name is watermarked as "What are you looking for Jmp?" in their module loader DLL from 2021[?] build.

Wow, this was a lot more than I expected, thank you very much, I'll do my best to get all that going.

Sadly no. And unlike other old games of mine that overheat due to a Win11 problem, I haven't been able to resolve by going "Ah, all DX6 games must run in OpenGL or they'll overheat"

Yeah lol -> I just got re-banned from InsideEARTH -> Oh well was worth a try. I guess i regret publicly sticking up for them.
