Conflict Desert Storm II - keyboard dead!

hanst · #1 30-09-2003, 23:47

Hi, I tried the Deviance crack, as well as the GCW one (appear to be the same), and when I try to create a new profile, or get in the game, the keyboard input is ignored...

This is under w2k, dx9.0b

The official demo works fine...

Ideas?

Thanks!

Erm...... you would have to get a diffrent crack and then try it or maybe make your own! Read the sticky and it will tell you how. Visit www.megagames.com if your unsucssesful

No luck on MegaGames. Not a programmer so no homemade cracks either...

Has anyone gotten the Deviance crack actually working? If yes, what's different? XP vs. w2k, etc..

Thanks,

just persevere with the crack....
i was having the same problem wouldn't respond to the mouse or keyboard when i was trying to set up a profile.....tried it quite a few times....no success...then it just worked????don;t ask me how i have no idea...quite a few pc mags have made mention of keyboard problems in reviews......i know it doesn;t help......but just persevere......

Anyone tested with the original cd and with no crack ? In other words is this a game problem or a crack problem ?

i reinstalled the original copy of the software...instead of running it as an image through alcohol......had the same probs with or without crack.....kept persevering and it finally worked.....so i'm afraid thats all the help i can offer

If this is happening with the original cds too, then your best bet is to go and create a ruck on the official forums. By the way, you people dont have gamepads connected to your PC via USB do you? I've been reading that more and more games are not responding to keyboard commands due to some kind of conflicts with them or the game trying to use the gamepad itself as the default input method.

Ok Ok

go to conflict desert storm 2's website and get a patch to see if it works then there bust be a bug in the game somehow

mutt1y · #11 02-10-2003, 13:24

Bounty i think you may be onto something...
I disconnected my Logitech ForceFeedback joystick from the USB socket.....not sure if it was prior to it working or not!!!!!!!!!Is there a patch better go look see!

Microsoft has releas an update for there USB port driver for Windows XP. Please update it! and update your game (and your crack). And then relply if you still got the same problems.

seaneyb2003 · #13 02-10-2003, 23:19

it should work once you get the new patch and crack if not people with the origonal game contact there support team they will help

It's working now!

Nothing suggested so far was working (no USB patch for me, as I run W2K, no relevnt game patches), so I was about to uninstall the game to clear out some HD space, but decided to give it a last try.

On a hunch I simply tried with 16bpp/640x480, and was able to create a profile, etc. and play. I have now bumped it back up to 32bpp and a higher resolution, and it still works fine.
