3DxWare forces forward/up keyboard input in games

Post by procopy »

I've had this issue for years and it took me long time to figure it's 3DxWare related. In some keyboard-controlled games, character will automatically start moving forward as soon as the game launches. In other games, where keyboard input is used for navigating the menus, they will automatically scroll up, as if up button is pressed. Shutting down 3DxWare instantly solves the problem. Firing it up again instantly repeats it. Developing my own game in Unity, I encountered the same issue once keyboard character controller has been introduced to project - my character will simply push forward on its own. It surprises me no one has ever reported the issue, as it's persistent in 3DxWare from the last at least 5 years (currently I'm running 10.8.4.3407). I wish to clarify this is not a device fault related issue, as I've had it with 3 different devices.
