Bluetooth keyboard problem

[BigColWales]

Legend does not seem to like my microsoft elite bluetooth keyboard. But the microsoft bluetooth mouse works as normal. I've plugged in a loaned PS2 keyboard, which works perfectly: I've tried a few things, such as re-installing the keyboard, re-installing bluetooth drivers, unattaching the joystick etc but to no avail. Game is pretty useless without a keyboard, so thoughts anyone?

I'm having problems with my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard as well, I found I had to reduce the repeat rates and mouse sensitivity otherwise Lara just keeps running. Its been impossible to control the motorcycle as it just keeps smashing to the left and right all the time and forget about any swimming as she drowns before I regain control of the keys.

It just makes me want to give up on the game altogether

Hi
Read about this in other threads. Have task manager running before you start the game once you have started the game quickly right click on the trl.exe in the process list and set priority to normal. this can be intermittent so be patient and try restating your PC e.t.c. I to have a wireless keyboard & mouse I have tried with ps2 kbrd & mouse and the game works fine. As I have said in my other thread on this Eidos need to sort this out with another patch. Its not good enough Eidos are you listening!!!

Hope this helps in the meantime.

Hello Andy

yes, I would like to confirm this fixed the problem of Lara running everywhere, I have managed to finish Peru and I am up to Tenakas big fight.

The keyboard is very precise now, now way I would have made it around the building otherwise

do I have to do this every time I play?

I have written a small vbscript to perform this action and it seems to work

first open notepad:

then cut and paste the text between the dotted lines into notepads window

---------------------------------------------------
Const NORMAL = 32

Dim WshShell, oExec

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("trl.exe")

WScript.Sleep 10000

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'trl.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcesses
objProcess.SetPriority(NORMAL)
Next
--------------------------------------------

save this file as tombstart.vbs into the tombraider directory at "C:\Program Files\Tomb Raider - Legend\" be carefull to save it as a .vbs file and not vbs.txt (select "all files" and use save as)

right click the file and save a shortcut to desktop

now when you click the shortcut the script should launch Tomb Raider, wait ten seconds and then reset the priority to NORMAL

hope this helps, of course I cant guarantee it will work every time or not cause another fault but it seems to work for me
