If you have it, try using nvda instead, or closing jaws completely before
you start the game.
The reason you're having this issue is because jaws runs low-level code to
take over your keyboard, and this code is preventing the game from seeing
your arrow keys.
That's why it is a better idea to completely unload JAWS before starting
games instead of putting it to sleep as a lot of gamers do.

Hi Charles,
You definitely show your age when you mention slate and stylus. In my
experience most younger blind people don't even know how to use one
let alone use it. With the growth of technology I only see braille

users.

That may be the case, but ultimately he is directly responsible for
