Keyboard doesnt react in witcher 3 anymore please HELP
hy there,
after looking for days in the internet for an answer and didnt found anything i decided to come to the forums.
I played WItcher 3 (the main game) and everything worked fine, and i loved it..
Now, since the new episodes came out and i had some time off from work i decided to start playing them.
I started it up (i didnt play it for month, i only played teh main game) and wanted to play, the first thing that was strange is that the "press space to skip" didnt work.. ok, so i whaited till the intro was over and i was at the menue.
In the menue, the Mouse worked fine as it does ingame, BUT with the keyboard its a different thing, it doesnt do anything, i cant walk, jump, open the menue via esc or anything else. The Gme is blocking my keyboard input..
The windows key, ALT-Tab and such are WORKING..so whait, the keyboard works for windows but not for witcher?
Ok, i started testing other keyboards, I tested other games, and every game worked as it should, ONLY witcher 3 blocks my key input.
I even made a new and shiny fresh install of my WIndows 7 64bit, just to find out that it didnt fix it..
Ok, i even tested teh Windows Monitor Keyboard, nope, that also didnt make me walk in witcher 3..
The thing is, everything worked fine for my main game playtrough.. So my guess, something happened after the 1.07 update that blocked my keyboard..
PLEASE HELP ME..
I really really wanna finnish this game and play the new episodes, and please dont recommend me an gamepad.. im an old shool PC Gamer. no way i play this with an gamepad...
My system spcs...
WIndows 7 64bit (clean install)
MS Sidewinder x4 Keyboard (i did test 4 more, DELL, Logitech, etc)
Logi G400 Mouse
GTX670
Q9550 Intel
Oh, no gamepad here, not installed, not ever in contact with my PC.
Not using any mods, nothing..
in every other game it works fine, its only happening in witcher 3 since after 1.07.
Oh, and i did manage to get some kind of LOG, thats why i Say its Blocking my keyboard..The game does something in an area it isnt supposed to.
ill just copy and paste what i posted in that other forum..
Me:
Answer from an respected coder:
RegisterRawInputDevices' failed with error code 998! - this the log when i try to press an key on my keyboard in game (skipping with space in the intro to be exact)
I hope theres someone who can help me. PLEASE CDProjekt, help an Sad WItcher out..
Greetings
PS. English isnt my native language, so dont be to hard on me if U find some errors

Or maybe does have an answer allready and had this problem..
I had it before and i did fix it, but i cant remember.
Its about witcher 3, i cant use my keyboard, it wont reconize my input..
Alt f4, windows key and such do work, but space to skip, etc, and walking ingame does not..only mouse works..
I tested 3 keyboards, all the same, i tried usb settings, reinstall windows and on and on and on..
i dont know what to do anymore..
maybe anyone can help me, even doe its slitghly off topic..
Greetings
Answer from an respected coder:
Error 998 is ERROR_NOACCESS, aka invalid access to memory region, which means the game tried to read/write to a location in memory it shouldn't read from/write to while registering raw input. Why that is, I don't know.
RegisterRawInputDevices' failed with error code 998! - this the log when i try to press an key on my keyboard in game (skipping with space in the intro to be exact)
I hope theres someone who can help me. PLEASE CDProjekt, help an Sad WItcher out..
