While holding down Shift key, queued commands are sometimes reset

StarCraft II Technical Support

Hello,

Shift moving seems to be defective for me…
If, for example, I shift move one of my unit groups a couple of times, at some point the sequence gets interrupted/reset.
All of this happens while I am firmly holding shift.

I was going to post a short video displaying my issue, but apparently it’s forbidden to post links :frowning:

Again, I’d like to stress that I am holding shift while issuing the commands.
It acts the same both with the left and the right shift key.

It only happens when I play starcraft2. If, for example, I open an text editor and hold ‘shift+E’, I will never get a lowercase ‘e’.
I have also tried to lower the repeat rate to the minimum settings on windows, with no luck

Thanks for the help

Hey Megaflares,

I know you have tested this out in various games/programs and it’s only affecting StarCraft II for you, but would you be able to test this out with a different keyboard?

Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how I’m doing!

Thanks for the help Nenyasqi.
Apparently it was indeed a (kind of) keyboard related issue. I changed USB ports and everything started working again.

Fantastic, happy to see it’s been sorted now. :slight_smile:
