Serious problem, need some help :(

**rampagingsumo** · January 30, 2007, 05:16 AM

While playing, I get a serious problem. Randomly my console will open, my options menu will open, my sound will be muted, and my game speed will be changed to 3x. All of this will happen at the same time and cause a pretty major lag spike. This problem is even worse on the campaign map, because it will auto-load my last save. I've found the game to be pretty unplayable this way, and it's extremely frustrating.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe something with your keyboard? I've heard about something like this with Microsoft keyboards..

As Seppuku says, it does sound keyboard related, a jamming key or a sticky connection - have you recently spilled anything sweet (coke, hot chocolate etc) over the keyboard? If so unplug it, wash it under a tap (no soap), leave to dry and try again.

i'll look for another keyboard somewhere in the house tomorrow, if that's not it, any other idea what it could be? And yeah I am using a microsft wireless keyboard

I know it sounds obvious but check you haven't got any other wireless sources interferring (my TV sender totally knackers my wireless internet connection at times). Try switching the frequencies about (if you can) to see if that helps.
