My arrow keys stick while playing any game that uses arrow keys. I ensure that I have the latest version of flash player installed and my arrow keys work just fine outside of flash games.

I'm betting you use Chrome?

1) install Adobe's Flash plug-in if you haven't already.
2) Go into Chrome Options
3) Select Content Settings
4) Click Disable Individual Plug-ins
5) Hit the +Details on the upper right
6) There should be two Flash plug-ins, one located in the Chrome directory, the other in a Macromedia directory. Click the link to disable the Flash plug-in in the Chrome directory.
7) Exit out of the Options tabs and try your game again.

This happened to me in Raze. Try hitting the pause menu. Or, wait until you die and then it'll work.

This happens to me aswell in almost every game that uses the arrow keys. I have Google - not Google Chrome. Do you have any suggestions?

It does it to me sometimes but I always thought that it was because I had a slow computer so it was just lagging.

Iâm having the same problem some time now, not only with arrow key's but also with AWSD. Sometimes pressing them gives no problem, then a few sec later the button sticks (wel not the button but the function) so for example I pres A and let it go but the character keeps running to the left until I press the same button again. Pressing other buttons in this event, just do what there supposed to do but the A keeps being executed at the same time.

I actually have the idea that the banners created with flash (and have advanced content) are the problem.... Like the current âBatman and Robin add really seems to make things worse tough refreshing the page till only having the âUrban Rivalsâ banner makes it less frequent. Is there may be a way to disable the adds??

I am using Internet Explorer 9 and the latest flashplayer.

Tools---Internet Options --- Security tab --- click ---trusted sites --- click sites --- uncheck require server - click add (Make sure you also have unchecked protected mode for this zone) This will disable it for only the site you add.

This will hopefully solve the problem but obviously will weaken your security. I would recommend you only add the sites you trust.

Anyway, if you wanted to read the technical details of the bug, look here.

It used to happen to me and now it is not. I used to use Google and now use Google Chrome and it works perfectly. On the MAC i use Safari. No problems anymore.

It's not AG that's the problem, because my arrow keys stick on any website while playing flash games.

Example: Bullet Audessy

The problem is beyond my browser, IE8. I have problems like this while playing offline games. Anything with flash or complex graphics causes my arrow keys and even WASD to stick.

P.S. Sorry for the double post since I cannot edit posts of my own.

You're sure that this isn't just a problem with your keyboard? Plug in another keyboard and see what happens.

Wait, if you mean that you keep running in a certain direction then press on the arrow key that leads to that direction. If it doesn't work then you might wanna try another browser, maybe?

I've tried Mozilla, Chrome, and IE, and all of them have the same problems.

HOWEVER I did add RAM to my machine (I had 1G and added another) and it fixed the problem.
