What is With My Shift Key?

Post by Not Good »

For some reason, when I hold the shift key down for a period of time, usually when I'm making multiple orders, the minimap and the command buttons get this dotted line around them and when I let go of the shift key I can't see my cursor, the main map blacks out, and I can't see any of the command buttons. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Are you using Windows? Maybe an issue with Windows' "sticky keys" feature. You could try to disable it.

I've already turned off sticky keys.

Okay so that's my problem. How do I downgrade to old drivers. I'm not that tech savvy.

I'm not sure what to say (well I am, but if i say it I'll probably get a forum ban)

1) find old driver version & download
2) uninstall current driver version
3) install older driver version
4) profit.

nb: there may be multiple restarts involved in this process.
