My problem is simple. After I log on for a few minutes all my keys stop working. The WASD, Space bar, everything. They all work at first, and continue to do so for... maybe the first 3 minutes after logging in. However, after that they simply stop and I am forced to manually click everything. Perhaps there is a button I am pressing that does this? It does not seem to be affecting many others so I am to assume it is client side and not a bug in the game.
Things I've tried:
- Logging out to the Log in screen = Issue Persists
- Exiting the Game = Fixes issue for the 3 min before it happens again.
- Restarting Computer = Fixes issue for the 3 min before it happens again.
I am running on an ASUS Notebook Windows Vista 64bit w/ Nvidia 9700M GT Videocard w/ 512MB memory and 4 Gigs of RAM.
The only other thing of note I can think of is it claims my drivers are out of date. I updated them to the newest available, but it continues to not recognize them. Perhaps it is this, but I do not see how my Videocard driver has anything to do with my keyboard not working.
I may also be having this issue. Mine quits while I am battling out in space. Where I am then required to play game entirely by mouse. The only keys that work for me is CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the screen that leads to the task manager. Once at that screen the only thing I can do is logoff and then log back into windows. If I choose any other option my system locks-up and must be rebooted. This never happened prior to installing game and keyboard appears to work fine out of game.

once the keys stop working you might see if "alt+tab" works, it sounds like your computer is "losing focus" on the game for some reason. i know on occasion an error message could be popping up and taking focus, but not showing on screen above the game. it has happened to me before in other things.

Thanks I'll try that next time it occurs.
