Left and up arrow keys stuck held down

[AphoticShield]

It's like this for every rpgmaker game. I am using a tablet, so there is literally nothing plugged in. The only thing I could imagine is somehow doing this is my microsoft pen stylus, which is not paired, and is incapable of being turned off. I have tried uninstalling random drivers in device manager, no dice, I have literally no idea why this is happening all of a sudden. Any ideas?

Is this a game you are making, or just games you are playing?

I have deleted your other thread - there's no need to post the same thing in multiple places. If the above happens with any game in any version, we will move it (especially if you are not the developer).

some additional info about your situation would also help:

1) what operating system is installed on your tablet?

2) you say this happens to every RM game, posted in MZ and have VXA in your profile.
So to clarify: does this happen to both VXA and MZ games?

VXA has a known problem with certain drivers that can cause this effect, but MZ uses a completely different base and would not be affected by the same drivers.

Sorry about the confusion, first time posting here, haven't played MZ games so maybe just VXA?

The OS is Win11, and it's games I'm playing.

Then please give a link to the download of at least one of those games, and try to contact their creator as well to check if that is maybe a problem with their games instead of your computer.

I've moved this thread to General Lounge. Thank you.

The support forums are for people making games. Generally, if you're having trouble playing a game, you need to contact the developer. But if it's happening for ALL VX Ace games, someone might be able to help you out.

Sounds like the typical phantom device causing issues. It is an inherent bug in DirectInput in Windows itself.
You can try plugging + unplugging an usb-device for all your usb ports a couple of times and hope that works.
Messing around with HIDs on device manager (be careful in there) can sometimes also work though it's better not to mess around in there if you are not sure of what the different actions does.

Good luck in getting this fixed~

Suddenly the problem has changed slightly. Now instead of up and left being held down constantly, they just don't work. I can use down and right but not left and up. Is that consistent with the issue you've mentioned, and is there really no feasible way to solve it?

As a developer you can go for XInput integration, or use a keyboard script to disable gamepad input.
As a player perhaps a tool like joy2key can help intercept the false input
