Re: Deal or No Deal 1.0
The issue regarding keystrokes is as old as Jaws, I believe. It has to do with how Jaws captures keystrokes from the system, which it does via a so called low level keyboard hook in Windows. The install_keyhook function has been around for a long time in BGT to try to work around this, but I am told that a Windows update that was released I think earlier this year or late in 2014 will sometimes make programs that use install_keyhook sluggish. Not in the same way as when the keyhook is not installed (which is to say not letting keystrokes through at all), but rather that there is a very slight delay between the key being pressed and the game being aware of it. Game writers could potentially make the keyhook an optional feature that users could turn on and off, but this would have to be done for each game and is not something that I can implement in a generic fashion in BGT itself. I will read the article you provided, but am not sure if there's anything more I can do if some p eople are having the issue but others are not, using the same Jaws version. I will be in touch again if I come up with anything new. Thanks!
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall
