Sticky Keys

[ziz4030]

This game requires a lot of pressing the Shift and Tab buttons. These can cause frequent messages for Sticky Keys, which can make you stand still and get alt-tabbed out of the game and kill you.

Most other games that require constant movement and dashing can avoid this, and definitely worth looking into.

I'm running into this in almost every game I play in Deadlock, and have been in multiple matches where people were yelling "GODDAMN STICKY KEYS!!"

This is a big problem

Just disable the keyboard shortcut for sticky keys in windows settings. Problem solved

Yeah just disable the shortcut in Windows. This isn't a problem exclusive to Deadlock, it's a problem with Windows. It's an accessibility shortcut. You get the same thing spamming shift in CS, Overwatch, any other game that uses the shift button as a main key

If the goal of these forums is not to troubleshoot but to make the game more playable for the masses, replies like this don't help
