Keys been stuck pressed by the game itself ?

Hello everyone!

I've got this problem that when playing BF4, a key (usually it's WASD) is getting stuck for like 5 seconds or so.

If this happen I will have to wait for it to stop. If I just press the stuck key again while it is happening it will do nothing. Usually it's happening when pressing keys quickly. Like W,W or W,D for example.

There is a chance that this won't happen at all in one round and in the next round it will happen so much more that the game is unplayable.

I have searched it online and I saw some other people saying that.

I have the game installed in my SSD where my OS is. If that's matters. I have a properly working microsoft sidewinder x6. And when playing other games this haven't happened once.

Thanks!

    Hi, I have the exact same issue as you. Same keyboard.

    Tried a different keyboard with no change.

    I'm going to try removing ALL of the keyboard drivers and software and see if that helps...

    Sorry for the late reply.

    My PC specs are:

    CPU: i5 3470

    GPU: MSI GTX 660Ti PE OCed

    MTB: Asrock H77M

    Memory: 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3

    And I have BF4 on a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

    For OS I use Windows 8.1 x64

    I use a generic microsoft optical mouse and a microsoft sidewinder x6 keyboard.

    The only software related to my mouse and keyboard is called Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center used to control my keyboards macro keys and profiles which I never use on BF4.

    This is the first thread about this issue that I've noticed an actual response from EA, so please forgive my re-posting this from another thread:

    It's now 2016 and I've been playing BF4 for a while without this issue on a few different versions of Windows of a few different computers.  I just rebuilt my primary machine with a new mobo, CPU, RAM combo (Z170, i7 6700K, 32GB DDR4) and a clean install of Windows 10 with the hopes that it would open up my bottle necks (and it did).  Still rocking a PS2 keyboard that works fine everywhere else.

    I reinstalled the game with a backup of the the install that was working fine under Win 7.  Then the stuck keys issue started along with a Punkbuster A error.  Punkbuster caught the issue on its own, brought up a repair menu prompt and following the steps it provided fixed that issue.  The keyboard issue persists even after doing a clean install of BF4.  I normally use the arrow keys for movement, but the issue started before I had even modified any key bindings, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

    Is anyone else having this issue again?
