Hardware & Technical Slow Macros

[droscoe]

Hello!

I have the APEX Pro keyboard, which I doubt makes a difference, but I'm having issues with macros.

I use a macro button to execute a series of arrow keystrokes (left, left, up, up for example). In game, it is very sluggish, and not instant. Does anyone else have keyboard macro issues?

I'm just trying to press one button to have the game put pips in Sys and Weapons for example, but its just so darn slow to do so...

I have noticed macros don't work well in other games either...

Well depends on delay you have between inputs, as well as your framerate, lower framerate needs higher delay to hit affectively.

I have great framerate. And I have no delay between inputs.

ED is fine with software-generated keystrokes so maybe it is the keyboard ... maybe you could get Autohotkey (or similar) to recognise the macro keys and generate the desired inputs that way.

Strange that it's sluggish for you. When using VoiceAttack to issue commands there are numerous sequences that it sends out -- including the systems balancing you're talking about -- and it's very responsive.

Have you been testing your macros in Notepad++ or another text editor to watch the output in realtime and compare it to the games?
