WS+AD Problem in MTA 1.0.x

[Zaya-Z]

Hello!

We (many DD players) have problem with using WS+AD (or WS + right and left arrow buttons).

Its working very slowly and with many jerking. Especially you obviously can look it with popular DD car - Cheetah.

We thought that its keyboard's "max. keys" problem. But it isnt, because in normal GTA SA everything working normal. And in old MTA Race 1.1.1(2) it was okey too. In first versions of MTA 1.0.1-1.0.2 as I remember it had worked too.

The problem is only in MTA 1.0.x

This WS+AD turning is very useful on DD maps when you stuck and someone is trying to kill you by pushing in your side part. With normal WS+AD you could fastly turn your vehicle and stop it. With such bugged WS+AD its very difficult and if your opponent is not noob, its impossible to stay alive.

Also we were experimenting. We had set (binded in Keyboard Bind Options) same alternative KEY on Accelerate (W) and Reverse (S) actions. So we could press only one button + Right or Left buttons. But the bug didnt disappear. Then I had tried Same Button on all 3 Actions (Accelerate, Reverse and Right), the turning still was bugged...

Some players, IDK WHY, dont have such bug.

Sorry If I had created topic in the wrong section, I hope its right section.

Pls Help Us with this problem.

Thanks in advance!

You can try installing the latest patch of MTA:SA. Also try to delete the gta_sa.set file located in the GTA San Andreas User Files in your Documents folder/library (Windows Vista and 7 users) or My Documents directory (Windows XP users).

Ok, I bound these keys to test:

Accel . . . . . . .W . . . . . . L_CTRL

Brake . . . . . . .S . . . . . . L_ALT

Vehicle left . . . A . . . . . . ARROW_L

Vehicle right . . D . . . . . . ARROW_R

And tried these key combinations:

Accl. key. . . . Brake key. . . . Steer key

W. . . . . . . . . S. . . . . . . . . . A. . . . . . . . . . .No turn

W. . . . . . . . . S. . . . . . . . . . D. . . . . . . . . . .No turn

W. . . . . . . . . S. . . . . . . . . . ARROW_L. . . . . No turn

W. . . . . . . . . S. . . . . . . . . . ARROW_R . . . . .Right turn

W. . . . . . . . . L_ALT. . . . . . .A. . . . . . . . . . .Left turn

W. . . . . . . . . L_ALT. . . . . . .D. . . . . . . . . . .Right turn

W. . . . . . . . . L_ALT. . . . . . .ARROW_L. . . . . Left turn

W. . . . . . . . . L_ALT. . . . . . .ARROW_R. . . . . Right turn

L_CTRL. . . . . .S. . . . . . . . . .A. . . . . . . . . . . Left turn

L_CTRL. . . . . .S. . . . . . . . . .D. . . . . . . . . . . Right turn

L_CTRL. . . . . .S. . . . . . . . . .ARROW_L. . . . . Left turn

L_CTRL. . . . . .S. . . . . . . . . .ARROW_R. . . . . Right turn

This is for my keyboard on Windows 7.

I got the same result in MTA and GTA, so I'm not sure there is much more we can do.

ccw... The problem is not in keyboard or Keys or OS.

The problem exist in MTA 1.0.3 - 1.0.4 only. And its only for Cheetah (car model).

Cheetah can turn, but with jerking and VERY VERY slowly.

I can not understand why, but it is. You can ask each DD player, he will confirm it.

Its 100% MTA problem, because on the same PC - Cheetah turns normally in GTA SA. And its not only for me, most DD players I know have the same problem.

I see.

I tried the Cheetah and it doesn't turn smoothly. Although it is the same for 1.0, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 also.

Edit: I just tried in GTA and it doesn't turn smoothly there as well.

Have you tried the 1.01 exe too? I tested both, but I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for - I haven't played GTASA in ages, so not sure how the Cheetah is supposed to turn in this GTA.

[ccw]

While doing W+S+R_ARROW, the cheetah turns but stops every so often, as if the brakes have been tapped.

Edit: I can happen on other cars, but the cheetah is the worst. It seems to be linked to frame rate, that is, if you put the frame limiter on in GTA, the problem almost disappears. (Probably why it wasn't noticeable in MTA:Race).

This should be (mostly) fixed in the latest nightly now:
