"In Sync" achievement for "A Way Out" issue

Hi all,

I am a PC player (Steam) looking for the "In Sync" achievement for "A Way Out".

For some reason none of keyboard keys get registered ("1, 2 and 3" required to hit) when playing musical instruments. Any idea what to do? Many thanks for your help

  • Hi nicobi67​ ,

    This sounds like an input-mapping issue rather than an achievement issue.

    Please first try the number keys along the top of the keyboard, not the numeric keypad. If you are using an AZERTY or another non-US keyboard layout, temporarily switch Windows to the English (United States) keyboard layout by pressing Windows key + Spacebar, then test the top-row 1, 2 and 3 keys again.

    Please also try the following:

    • Disconnect any controllers or other input devices before launching the game.
    • In Steam, right-click A Way Out, select Properties, then Controller, and test with Steam Input disabled.
    • Verify the game files through Steam under Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
    • Test with a controller, if one is available, to confirm whether the problem is limited to keyboard input.


    If the keys still do not register, please let us know which keyboard layout you use, whether the top-row keys or numeric keypad were tested, and whether the same keys work elsewhere in the game.

    You were right : I switch to English (USA) keyboard and manage to hit the requested keys. Many thanks for your reply and your help !
