We are at a point in speedrunning mainly San Andreas and GTA III where sometimes you have to hold down so many keys at a time, that - if you don't have an N-key rollover keyboard (all keys can be registered at the same time) - you might encounter issues, potentially losing time in your runs or even dying / failing missions. Sometimes up to 5-6 keys have to be pressed at the same time. Not for a long period, but even if just one of these keypresses fail to register, sometimes chaos is inevitable. It is also possible, that you didn't find the default control scheme satisfactory and changed it around a bit to suit your needs better. I'd like to ask what kind of key and mouse button mappings have you set up for either SA or III? Also if you are using a tenkeyless keyboard, what have you remapped special controls to (hydraulics, forklift, hydra)? I feel like this mainly involves these 2 games because of holding phonecalls / submission key, so didn't want to post in GTA general forums. My settings: |

My setup changed quite a bit over time: I also found tab uncomfortable, so I switched to left shift to hold calls, but I used that to jump... so I mapped jump to caps lock. Not the best, but it worked. Got a bit tired of caps lock being randomly on/off after runs + pressing it while having a call held with shift wasn't convenient, so I eventually mapped it to one of my mouse buttons instead. I also used to use the side mouse buttons for leaning while driving bikes, but RMB was more convenient to press rapidly than the side buttons so now I lean back with the side button, but forward with RMB. I have honking on MMB, very easy to get to for dealing with cops. And probably the most minor one... Because of the keyboard ghosting issues, I can't hold WAS at the same time, so I mapped a secondary brake/reverse to X so I can do the 360 in driving school. |

I have a Logitech g600 mouse which has a numpad on the side which I can bind anything to, so I'm not sure how useful my settings are (who wants to use "4" for holding a call?) |
|
I've learned to manage with holding Tab, however I've mapped lean forward to Lshift, Hydra and Forklift are Numpad + and Numpad Enter. Hydraulics are Num8, Num2, Num4 and Num6. |

LMB - lean forward Pretty comfortable |

rmb lean forward |
|
Everything by default, except that I use alt to jump (No, I don't dupe, so I don't have to worry about alt+tab) |
|
LCTRL - jump 1/LMB - lean forward |

I bind phone call to side mouse button (mouse4). I find it easier to hold down than keys. |

I only run GTA 3, so I can't help with speedrunning SA, but I use: |

SAN ANDREAS Action - Middle Mouse / Extra Mouse Button (depends on whether I use DINPUT or not, extra buttons only work without it) Other than these I use Alt for leaning forward as well and Left Shift for leaning backwards. I use this when I'm flying and holding a phone call at the same time. This isn't needed if you use something like Capslock/Shift/Ctrl as an action key. Being on a bike is another great use of setting leaning backwards like this. III Left Alt - Despawning traffic (aka changing the camera) (I don't like to take my hand off the mouse unless I'm flying the dodo) Arrow up - Dodo down I simply set this to make dodo flying at least a little similar to San Andreas (Default is Num 9 and Num 6) |

WASD for moving B for leaning forward, N for leaning back on bike (and the equivalents for planes/helis/flying cars) Fire: LMB Change camera: V Y and N for talking and trip skipping etc G and H for gang controls (holding H disbands the group) Mwheel for Camera and sniper zoom Lalt for walk, C for crouch RMB for aim |

You might be using the mouse fix dll. The best thing to do is binding them to keyboard keys, either via mouse software or via autohotkey |

I downloaded a mousefix dll named "DINPUT8.dll" but it doesn't work. I'm using XMouse Controller but I want to do it in game settings. What can i do? |

It doesn't work. |

if you have a gamepad/controller plug it in then open the game while in game unplug the controller then your mouse might work. gta sa is a glitchy game especially on new hardware |
