It may be an issue with your keyboard (named keyboard ghosting) : does N, Up Arrow and Left Arrow combinason work in others games/apps ?

Hi and tks for your answer
i don't know how i can verify if that combination works in Others games or app.
All win combination use the Alt or Ctrl buttons, i never heard about a combination with N button and left Arrow.
There is a way to change N with another button? In this way i can verify if is that button that gives the problem...

regards

Hi, just for a few days, the N (for nitro) has no effect.
I've tried to change the key, but nothing works.

The input.xml has a strange content on the nitro line :
<input version="1">

<keyboard>

<action name="steerLeft" id="37" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="steerRight" id="39" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="accel" id="38" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="brake" id="40" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="nitro" id="78" event="1" character="110" />
<action name="drift" id="86" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="rescue" id="9" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="fire" id="32" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="lookBack" id="66" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="pauserace" id="27" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="menuUp" id="38" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="menuDown" id="40" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="menuLeft" id="37" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="menuRight" id="39" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="menuSelect" id="13" event="1" character="0" />
<action name="menuCancel" id="8" event="1" character="0" />
</keyboard>

Is it a known issue ?

Netsabes.

Hi, please check http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/FAQ ... eyboard.21

tl;dr your keyboard is physically unable to register some simultaneous keypresses, this can be solved by using a gamepad or gaming keyboard

I don't think so.

I 've been using this keyboard for years without issue. And the "N" key does not work, even if I only press it.

Any other suggestion ?

Have you tried changing the "character" for nitro in input.xml to "0", so it's like every other line?
