Spacebar key not working after playing NFS Heat

Hello,

I have no clue of how to fix this issue. I've tried absolutely everything, from enabling and disabling different options on the ease of access settings of Windows (which made the laptop's spacebar key work until I started the game again), repairing the keyboard's driver, reverted to pc's last backup, I mean I don't know what's going on.

When I try to play the game, the spacebar key works after a moment. It happens when I try drifting, but not instantly. It takes some seconds to react.

I don't think it's hardware, as I mentioned it does respond (late) in-game, and also when I attempted fixing it by enabling and disabling options like sticky keys, toggle keys, filter keys, whatsoever. That worked once, but never again.

It's like if NFS Heat took power of my spacebar key. Why does this happen? How can I fix this?

It's really dissapointing. I have to use an external keyboard to type this.

Oh, it seems that the spacebar key is now working. But this happens every time I try to play the game.

Please, help.

Thank you very much.

  • Hey, @sebbie_skyline make sure that all drivers for windows are up to date, also worth reinstalling the GPU drivers for your PC.

     

    You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with HEAT and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    Oh, it seems that the spacebar clicker is now working. But this happens every time I try to play the game.

    Please, help.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics drivers and it works normally now!
