    Keys sticking, need help!

    Hello everyone, I've searched and searched, but I can't find a solution to my problem, so here it goes:

    When I play BF2 everything works normally for like 10secs and then my keys start to stick, I run forward and let the key go, but I just keep on running forward. And that sticking just appears on everything I do, if I open my voice menu and try to click on a command, nothing happens, then the game doesn't respond to my controls at all, then 5 secs or so it'll just do everything I pressed before with extreme lag and it says the command I pressed, then it fires the whole clip empty, unless I tap mouse 1 again. When I open the console or the chat window, the text comes with lag and it doesn't even register some key pushes. I also tend to warp when this happens. And the scariest part of this all, it happens in single player too. Now I can't play the game at all, it happens all the time. One thing that I noticed that without any patches, the lag was shorter.

    I've tried everything reinstalled all drivers, turned antivirus off while playing, deleting the Battlefield 2 folder in My Documents, re-installed the game, tried without patch and patched again.

    The fps doesn't drop, bots run around like nothing's wrong. I've tried with different resolutions and video settings, but the problem doesn't go away. BF is the only game this happens in and I'm getting real frustrated about it.

    It cannot be a mouse or keyboard issue, because everything works great until entering in-game.

    I would love this game, if it wasn't endless troubleshooting, problem after problem.

    And btw the game worked just fine few days ago, one thing it could be is the 81.85 nVidia drivers, but I also played with them smoothly for few days. I'll try my best to find the solution myself. But if you have any ideas, please post here.

    Could be a stuck key on your keyboard, something to do with scroll lock or if your keyboard has it's own software...that could be screwing things up to. Does it only do it in BF2? Does it do it while web surfing?

      I also uninstalled my KB software and didn't do a thing and windows sticky keys have been off all the time. Does it only in BF2, not in ANYTHING else.

        I've had similar pbs 2, 3 times where I couldn't stop firing when entering a tank or holding my gun. Didn't found an explanation. Hopefully, doesn't happen frequently, but for sure I experience loads of different bugs with BF2.

          Problem solved!

          The sticking was because of dust on the DVD-Drive's laser. When I thought that I had already tried everything, I found myself looking at my cleaning disc. I just had to try it out and incredibly it solved the problem totally. No key sticking at all.

          My case's only ventilation holes are for the fans and the intake hole on the bottom of the case is equipped with a dust filter. So my case is fully dust proof. The dust must have gotten in with a disc or when the tray has been open. I think it happens to everyone and I recommend a cleaning disc for anyone, it's cheap and saves you from a few problems with BF2.

          I'm so glad it's fixed and I have a whole new appreciation for BF2 and being able to play it. :)

            No way, the problem came back. At least I got to play 2 games without the problem... Help requested.

                Now I found the real problem. EAX was turned on and when I disabled it, everything was running smooth, no sticking. Also turned sound quality Low and didn't even notice a difference in it.

                Thank you for your help, although I found the exact answer by myself.

                Hope everyone with the same problem will find the answer from this topic.

                Over and out. :salute:

                  I've been having this same problem since I reformated... dug around a while found this solution, disabled EAX, and..... I still have this problem. Any other ideas spring up over the last year?

                  I forgot to make any mention of my computer in this, it's quite similar to Verteksi's it's a Athlon 64 +3400 with 1gb DDR 3200 with a x850XT Pro

                    Easiest way to avoid sticky keys is to point your manhood in the other direction.

                      Ingenious!

                      But no, really, sound cards suck ***, went and got a new one today and the problem is fixed. I'll be setting my old one on fire sometime over the weekend, to set an example for the rest of my hardware, function or buuuuuurn.

                          Just had the problem for a couple of weeks. The EAX turn off solution fixed it. Nice one Vorteski.
