Unreal 2 Keyboard Problem

[Maximilian]

Hey. I decided to play unreal 2 again and i was at the level where you have to wait for a techy guy to fix some comp. Anyways i got there on a Geforce 5200 FX but i recently upgraded to a 9800 PRO and stuffs way better except 1 thing. I cant use the up//down//left//right keys without the game crashing. why?!! lol it just seems a really strange thing to make a game crash, i can move around and shoot but i cannot move around by using the stated keys or it tells me this:: Assertion failed: iKey>=0&&iKey<IK_MAX [File:UnIn.cpp] [Line: 441]

History: UInput:rocess <- UEngine::InputEvent <- UWindowsViewport::CauseInputEvent <- WM_KEYDOWN <- UWindowsViewport::ViewportWndProc <- WWindow::StaticProc <- DispatchMessage <- 0005037C 256 <- MessagePump <- MainLoop

Does this mean anything to anyone?? can i fix this??

I read on the unreal 2004 faq's that some keyboards have trouble when pressing more than 3 keys at a time. This may be a caup out on a known issue they have. And may be a issue in all there games.

Also make sure you patch the game. New hardware = new problems sometimes game patches address these issues.

What kind of keyboard do you have? Are the drivers updated on your keyboard.

Then my last suggestion if all else fails try using the w, a, s ,d keys it may just be an issue with your up down left right keys. Also every games defaults a, w, s, d keys and you have more buttons in a closer proximity giving you the ability to press more buttons faster and that?s always a plus in a FPS game.

Well the game is updated and i only push one key and the keyboard, well its just a noname one but it did work before for this exact game on my old comp and when i have the 5200FX installed. Also i got the lastest catalyst drivers for the 9800 PRO and its still screwey

aha think ive got it solved now. The keyboards knackered. The directional keys are controlling more than 1 function when they shouldnt be, its as you said with the 3 key thing cuz the usb one that i plugged in works fine. Tried it on Elite force 2 and with the old one when i hit up to go forward it would jump then go forward and when i try to set the keys in the control panel it registers up as shirft. Its a mess lol luckily i ordered a new one just last week cuz this ones dirty n old, thanks for help.

Did you remove your nVidia drivers?
Have you patched the game to the latest version?

If all else fails delete the game's config files and let it build them again from scratch.
