WASDQR ceases to function in VAB and Flight. (likely elswhere as well)

[pslytely psycho]

KSP no longer recognizes the WASDQE commands (likely everywhere, but I didn't notice it until I entered the VAB and then tried to change the orientation of a part.) In the VAB I could not change orientation but could effect things like symmetry and angle snap. I could select and assemble parts using my trackball, so I made a basic rocket and launched it. In flight I had no control at all, but could switch between IVA/EVA and switch SAS, Gear, etc. Just no directional control.

It was working perfectly last night with many mods (32bit) so after it happened, I tried with the mods uninstalled with the same result.

I then deleted the game and re-installed it as a fresh vanilla install. (Including a system restart, just to be sure)

The problem persists. Only the directional keys appear to be effected (WASDQE as the other keys work, for example X and C)

I checked key bindings and even re-did them with the same keys. When reassigning them stock failed to do anything I then assigned the same keys as alternates . Still no result.

Logitech M520 wireless trackball works perfectly with freshly recharged batteries.

KB is a wireless MS keyboard with freshly charged batteries. (I am using it right now to type this)

My system:

AMD FX8320 3.5 GHz (OC'ed to 4.4)**

Sapphire R9 270x 2GB DDR5

Gskills Ripjaws 8GB @ 1800

Win 8.1 64bit

(less than six months old homebrew)

OS and all drivers current.

KSP current

Over 900 hrs on this game, over two separate computers and OS's and I have never run across anything like this, a forum search and internet search turned up nothing. I am stymied.

If you need me to post files, just let me know.

Thanks in advance, Ronn 'Pslytely Psycho' Kelley

**I also tried one final time with no overclocking, but it made no difference.

[Edit] Ran sfc/scannow from the administrator command line. It showed no errors.

[Edit2] I am unsure how to put the KSP.log file up to view.

[Edit] Oddly enough, KSP does 'see' the directional keys, as I was able to re-assign all the keys to stock individually as well as create an 'alternate' set that mirrors it. I thought it might be my KB, but it does the same switching to my wife's identical keyboard. (had to try that for my own peace of mind)

[Edit2] I tried it in 64 bit and then tried both 32 bit and 64 bit as administrator just to exhaust all of my ideas. There was no change.

[Edit3] Made sure sticky keys was turned off, it is. (a suggestion to a thread about shift key not working, figured couldn't hurt to check)

[Edit4] Alt+F2 in the VAB shows no errors and says no input locks in effect, (I was going to post a screenshot but Imgur is over capacity at this time.)

[Edit5] With 150+ views, I'm guessing nothing is jumping out at anyone. It doesn't crash, doesn't seem to be throwing errors and after 2 complete wipes and re-installs it is still unplayable as there is no control for parts or flight.

So, I am doing a massive backup to my HDD, once finished tomorrow afternoon I will attempt to refresh my OS, this should be relatively simple as I have a legit disk. If that fails for some reason I may just do a destructive re-install, (hence the massive manual backup) and see if maybe it is a Windows or a third party problem. Although sfc/scannow came up clean, as does my anti-virus and anti-malware, and I have not installed anything in the period from it working to not working, it seems to be my final option. I will check the forums before I take such a drastic step just in case a solution presents itself. It is such a bizzare problem that it may be a single case scenario. I will report back if I do take this final step and close out the thread as solved if it works. Thanks though, as many read it, I know if anyone had a clue they would of posted even a guess. Perhaps it is a unique problem originating in an undetected corruption in the OS.

[Edit6] Just tried to re-map the keys to IKJLUO combination that translation uses, and that doesn't work either. Even more odd, the U key (before I remapped) turned on the lights, but remapping U to left roll the key doesn't work for roll. I then tried to remap to the numpad, that doesn't work either. Perplexing that the game sees these keys but they if they control orientation or flight control they will not work.

Very perplexing.

SUCCESS!!!!

I rolled back the driver for my keyboard.

Everything works perfectly again.

I then re-updated the driver. Everything still works.

My conclusion is that the keyboard driver became corrupted.

Hope I didn't waste anyone's time too badly.

Fortunately advice I got long ago helped with this problem.

The advice? Simple. "Pull out beard first, it grows back."

Can this thread be marked solved please.
