Overdrive not working

[LuckyLuke 111]

Hi,

1. I have problem activating overdrive. With Left shift keys, I have to press many times. I thought it is may be a problem  with my key and changed it to different keys , it works in the same fashion.

2. Many times, the turret turns out of control even if I am not pressing any key. Even when it respawns, even before I press any key, turret turns to other direction.

What is the problem?

Could you record a video please, or take screenshots? The overdrive activation problem might be caused because jammer status effect is applied to your tank.

Did you try the solution which we gave you for that? e.g. turning the key responsible for that (example: turret turns on the right continuously, then you would have to press the right arrow), was it tried?

I have tried changing my keyboard settings for overdrive. Still same problem. Nothing to do with jammer or my keyboard

Based on the information you've provided, I feel that your hardware or your keyboard is faulty. 

"Many times, the turret turns out of control even if I am not pressing any key"  ~ This can only happen when the turret-turning key(s) remains pressed even after you lift your finger off the key. This, in turn, happens when the keyboard is faulty. A faulty keyboard can also explain key-strokes being ignored, as in the case of pressing Shift for using Overdrives.
Perhaps your keyboard is very old? 

Another factor you must consider is "filter keys". Many times, in the heat of the battle, you press the Shift key multiple times in a very short period of time (or "spam" the key), and if "filter keys" is enabled, the key-strokes will be ignored. This feature can also be turned on and off via the Accessibility settings in the Windows Control Panel or via Windows Settings.

Thank you for the research and help. I used to press shift keys multiple times only when the od is not working. Pressing the shift also activates accessibility options. If it works one time, no need for me to press multiple times. I have got the od key configured to 1 in Numpad and it had same issue then moved to numpad 4 still the same issue

Getting your keyboard checked is a good idea.

Also, once you re-assign the OD key from Left Shift to another key, just refresh your browser/client once to be sure that the reassignment is successful, and then try using your OD again. If it still doesn't work, then I think there's either a problem with your keyboard, or there may be an internet issue (lag) due to which the server doesn't register the OD activation.
