Game not recognizing macro?

Post by hunterjwizard » 28 Oct 2019, 02:17

Hey folks, dumb question: I'm trying to remap a numpad to use as macros in a video game(Dungeons and Dragons Online, in case anyone cares). Basically so when I hit 1 on the numpad it turns into shift+1. Simple stuff. I've done this in the past and it worked fine(in fact with this exact keypad on this exact game) but today it doesn't seem to be working. I can open up notepad and see my macros appearing just fine, but in game it only recognizes the regular keys.

The game in question has gone through a number of updates since this last worked, is it possible they've added some sort of check or filter that needs to be bypassed? Or, more likely, am I just doing something wrong?

Probably they improved/change reading keyboard state and you won't be able to use these macros. If it works in notepad then your macro setup is fine.
