Programmable keyboard won't work in this game?

mortharx

Just need clarification DX Input system / G15 and whatever won't work in this game right? Because of gameguard?

I believe so. Shouldn't be that bad. I've only found the G15 features for comfortability. There are billions of useless keys in a UI. Hell take half of the Function keys... Not to mention Ctrl+? or Alt+? or Ctrl+Alt+?. The macro system in place in the game looks nice, macro boards would probably just make it more comfortable for players... Not me I've always used numbers and keybinds>my 18 macro keys. :P the first G15 is the best

hmm strange my G11 worked ok

Just to be clear, the extended functions of the G15 etc wont work right but the keyboard can still be used?  It will be real pain in the arse if I have to swap keyboards every time I want to play the game.

I do not use a Programable Keyboard but I use a Nostromo SpeedPad n52. will this still work?

MrPhire

The keyboard will work, the macro's wont because GameGuard disables the G13 and G15's programs. G11 is different as far as i know. It has something to do with the software G13/15 offers.  It is also true that older models, such as my G15, work completely alright. It all depends I believe. By the time launch comes out all new g13/g15 might work.

I have the original G15 which partially worked during CB

The key assignments worked fine but not multi key functions i.e. 'Ctrl + 1'

Macros did not work

The M1-3 buttons were frozen so I had to ensure I was using the profile set I required for Aion

The LCD was frozen i.e. my clock display stayed at the same time for the period gg was running

I have read that the G15 works fine if you are using Vista64

So basically the G15 is fine if you use it solely for putting your shortcuts within nice easy reach. It's the only reason I bought it in the first place, I broke my hand a few years back and it didn't set right....it is uncomfortable to use the normal WASD reach across keyboard setup now.

The N52 has similar restrictions afaik

EDIT: Sometimes GG refused to release control of my M1-3 keys after quiting out of Aion, this is easily fixed by quitting and relaoding the G Profiler.

Thanks for the note. I too as well have the original G15 and noticed it worked... I never really use more than just M1 anyway.

My G11 partially worked in CB as well. I'm hoping they end up getting rid of GameGuard and it sounds like they are considering it.  This is a month old but I'm not sure if anyone has lined it here yet.

Your feelings on GameGuard are justified and known to the North American and European teams. As it stands now GameGuard does provide a certain level of protection. If and when we find a better hack/cheat/bot prevention system we will use it. GameGuard will be improved or removed before launch.
