All keys stop working except the mouse!

#1

This happens sometimes for no reason, and lately it has become frequent, and I do not know why. Everything STOPS WORKING except the mouse and its buttons! ???

Before I believed that it was because I had left 2 ".ini" files (the basic configuration that zandronum normally creates), I deleted it and everything voted to work, but this time this annoying bug came back and there is only 1 file ".ini ".

It's a pain to play Zandronum nowadays, even more so now that I've downloaded QCDE v1.01 to amuse myself, and such a horrible thing happens... :mad:

maybe your keyboard's cable is damaged so it loses contact with your pc for a bit? idk

^ probably explains your problem, get a new External Keyboard USB if your cable is damaged so you can get it for sure.

It the problem was the keyboard cable, the problem would happen all the time, not just in Zandronum. I don't know what the problem is, but I am pretty sure that isn't it.

Several users have reported that discordcanary's overlay features may be interfering with zandronum. If you are using Discord's experimental builds, try either turning discord off or using Discord's stable version to determine if this is causing the issue.

Xbiox your problem is a bug with the sdl library. On my ubuntu machine I have to play in windowed mode to avoid sdl fucking up and not giving button press events to the game.

If you are still using linux you can try this fix. This worked for me.
