"sticky keystroke"

[live2bet]

Hi,
I'm using Xpadder to map keystroke (just regular key like a,s, d, f) for my Rumblepad 2 and have some problems and would appreciate some help please.

Ocasionally, when i press certain button/d-pad or even stick, the action repeats itself and would have to randomly press another button to stop it from repeating the action.

I hope you are understanding me.

I've tried using Logitech F310 and well as X-box 360 controller but have the same issue.

I'm running Windows 7 ultimate x64 if that matters.

Thx in advance.

Try testing the Xpadder keypress simulations in Notepad. Do the keys stick there or is it only in the game you are playing?

Thx for the reply Jonathan.

Didn't try that yet.
But i did at a "Add Hold Zone" in Advance Assignment on the buttons after the keystroke and things "seem" ok for now.
Or should i add "Add Pause" instead. Here is where i read http://xpadder.com/forum4/viewtopic.php ... peat#p9056.

Appreciate your help Jonathan.

I doesn't make a real difference.
The Hold Zone says "Hold the assigned key until this time is reached, while holding the gamepad button".
If you release the button before, the assignment will also stop before.
With the Pause the assignment will be executed completely even if you release the button before it is on the end. Since it's unlikely that you hold the button for less than 0.10 seconds, the key should be pressed with every way for 0.10 seconds.

But I see a problem with this, if you have to hold a key in the game it is simply impossible.

In addition: You can see in the Xpadder main window if a gamepad button is pressed. If it happens that a square stays green after releasing the button, Xpadder should definitely get wrong input from your gamepad or it's driver.

Hi Primal Fear,
I'm not quite understand you (i'm a complete noob).

Anyway, my purpose of Xpadder is not to play any game but more for online poker (multitabling).

Here is the scenario,
I assign "A" to fold, "B" to bet, "C" to check and so on.....
So instead of using my keyboard, i use a Rumblepad controller to execute the action of betting, folding,.......
Problem was, sometime when i fold on one table (bear in mind i'm playing like 24 tables at the same time), the action repeats itself on all following tables.
Would you reccomend using "Add Hold Zone" or "Add Pause"?

Hope you are understanding me.

Thx in advance.

Hi Live2bet,
Did you try the Pause ?
And I think you should use Notepad like Jonathan said, to see if it’s working properly,
To open Notepad just click on “Test” under “Advanced Assignments”.

Would you reccomend using "Add Hold Zone" or "Add Pause"?

If you currently have a Hold Zone with "0-10" in it, then leave it like that. There is no real difference, for you both will work equally well.

Problem was, sometime when i fold on one table (bear in mind i'm playing like 24 tables at the same time), the action repeats itself on all following tables.

Really annoying. So this only happens for fold, or was this just an example?

And I think you should use Notepad like Jonathan said, to see if it’s working properly,

I don't see this different, but occasionally says to me that it could be possible that this isn't reproducible in a reasonable time.

I also noticed the “sometimes” and “Occasionally” and the fact that it is Poker, and that’s probably online
(For money)

so the best way to test this is not playing Poker, it’s by using Notepad.

[Primal Fear]

Absolutely, but I have doubts that he still want to test it. I mean, if that with the Hold Zone works.
If this now still happens, then it should be a problem of the poker software.

I mean, if that with the Hold Zone works.

I must have missed something; I thought he was still having problems.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

It "seems" to be ok for now .

When i'm playing, table requires my action will automatically pops up and the rest of the tables will be in queue until i act on first table.

I tried the "Add Pause" on notepad and when i depress the key (eg A), i get AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA until i release it, but when i try "Add Hold Zone" i get just A, didn't matter how long i hold the key.

And to Primal Fear question, it happens on other keys as well.

I just curious what is the different between "Add Pause" and "Add Hold Zone".

Thanks ya for taking time to help.

I have tested this, and figured out that this happens only if you select 0.00 seconds as time for this pause. If you choose at least 0.01 seconds everything works well.

The possibility to select 0.00 seconds for the Pause is relatively new, so this is kindly a small bug.
