[Found Possible Solution]Up/Left arrow key permanently down state.

[後藤 ひとり]

My game just glitches the UP and LEFT key permanently on the down state.

I can't use the Up arrow to navigate menus. But Down arrow works.
So, I'm stuck at the beginning of the game, cuz I can't navigate anywhere.

My arrow keys work just fine normally outside of the game. I'm going to try a few other thngs but here are what I've tried so far.

- Restarting computer: Nope
- Replugging the keyboard after joining game: Nope
- Reinstalling drivers - Nope
- I use WhiteFox Keyboard, Reflashing - Nope.
- Spamming numkey arrow keys - Nope
- Tempfix program created by Cherry (that stops lingering keyboard input for RPGmaker games) Nope.

Found a Solution that works for me:

For whatever reason, if I unplug the keyboard BEFORE you boot the game, then replug it in after it's booted, it works just fine. Try that if you have the same problem as me. Something is happening on boot that's causing the keyboard to stick. It doesn't work if you have the keyboard already plugged in before booting, and then replugging in the keyboard. For me, it must be unplugged before the game boots.

I have the same problem, though only with the "up arrow" key.

I tried your suggested method, however it doesn't seem to be working for me...
A real shame, though :(

EDIT: Additionally tried to uninstall and reinstall the game, unfortunately did not solve my problem.

EDIT2: Alright, after looking through the pinned thread it seems to directly relate to the "auto walk" issue mentioned there. Pressing "up" on the NumPad seems to have fixed the issue alltogether.

Spamming the numkey buttons is an already known temp fix. This didn't work for me, so that's why I gave this post. Should've added that to what i've tried.

I'm having the exact same problem. (I often have this issue with games made by older versions of RPGmaker, though.) If anyone finds a solution, I'd love to know. (I, too, have tried Cherry's solution, and various other solutions, all to no avail.)

What have you tried so far?

I tried disabling Bluetooth, Cherry's kbdreset, resetting the computer, and then I found a post by Celianna (who makes RPGmaker tiles) and she suggested that I turn off the computer, unplug ALL USB devices, reboot the computer and when it finishes loading, plug in the keyboard and mouse only (I also had a wecam and printer in seperate usb prots). It seems to have worked for me (but I know this is a common problem with umpteen billion possible causes, so this solution may not work for everyone). Thanks for the responce, though! :)

I've got the problem with the left/up keys too. I'm playing on my laptop, so I don't have a Num Pad or a connectable keyboard... Does anyone know what else I can do? I really really want to play this game so badly :( If anyone finds other solutions, hit me up please!

It's such an odd error that has what seems like a thousand different causes, each different for each person. I recommend starting your search for a solution with Cherry's kbdreset (resets your keyboard registry):

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling any touch devices (like touchpads), as, in my experience, their drivers interfere with RPG maker. (I'm not sure what to do if you are trying to play on a touch-enabled laptop or, horror of horrors, Windows 8, 8.1, or 10.)

Ultimately, there are hundreds of different solutions that work for some people but not for others. The trick is in finding out why RPG maker is not working today for you. I wish you luck! If only RPG maker offered customer support on this issue (which has been a rampant problem with their software for at least 10 years).

It's really annoying how this type of problem is really trivial, but detrimental to the experience of a lot of players. It's happened enough that rpgmaker should've done something about it by now....

Its a known flaw in RPGMaker engine this game is built on. It was never patched by Enterbrain. Its a flaw in how it polls the keyboard/mouse on game startup. There is no real solution. What exactly triggers it is unknown, and what can fix it for any given system is not usually the same. Its a very annoying bug.

Your fix regarding the unplug keyboard before start, then re-plug after start works !! Thank you !!! Unfortunately this doesn't allow my controller to connect :-(. Have tried replicating your solution with the controller (keyboard completely unplugged) and it did not work.
