Is this game unplayable on Keyboard + Mouse?

[El Grande Padre]

50% of the time when i need to jump from the cliff in left or right direction Lara refuses to jump. She just clings with both hands for a moment and that's all. When i plug in my XONE contoller everything is okay but i want to play it on keyboard. Am i doing something wrong (pressing direction key + space) or does this game suck ass?

[El Grande Padre]

It turns out i can't even jump while pressing left button even on the ground. What is this bug? Right works fine.

Sounds like key roll over issues (the limitation of how many keys can be pressed at the same time). Try a different keyboard if possible.

It's called keyboard ghosting or jamming.
Cheaper keyboards don't have a lot of "lanes" so you easily come across being unable to press two, or more commonly 3 keys at once.

Different keys share different lanes, you can sometimes overt the issue by binding keys that don't ghost each other.

Or buy keyboards that are "anti ghost". Some have a few dedicated keys or a limit of number of simultaneous keys, so take a closer look at spec / tested reviews prior to purchasing.

I used to play 4 player games (eg 6 keys each) on one keyboard so am well aware of the fun of testing and binding keys to the least evil ghosting.

Agree with the others. Get a new keyboard. Best get a gaming one from logitech.
Never had a problem with m&k.

I use an EVGA Torq mouse and an EVGA z10 keyboard, no problem with either one.

use anti ghosting keyboard

"Ghosting" is the problem that some keyboard keys don't work when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously. The key presses that don't show up on the computer or seem to have disappeared are said to have been "ghosted"

The same.

I could never imagine playing games like this on anything other than a wireless controller.

I'm old controllers have to many buttons for my old brain. Don't even get me started on dual sticks. Sheesh, lol

Thank you guys for your answers it was a keyboard issue. I thought it was the game cause it had some jump problems but it was a coincidence that my keyboard broke at the same time.

Yes.

It's called playing on keyboard and mouse instead of controller.

Last I checked, my keyboard has more buttons than my controller.

FYI the issue here is not about the type of machines or controllers we have. It is the glitches that keep appearing that interferes with smooth gameplay and by the way patch 3 has not fixed the glitches that are commom to all.

[Inardesco]

Not sure what glitches you talked about cuz other than the 100% bug I've encountered nothing
