PureFallen explained in detail this glitch. This game locks the mouse cursor for that on the middle of the screen. If I move the mouse, the game notices that, let me view ingame and set the mouse back to the middle of the screen. So i have to leave the game, without pausing it Sticky keys seem to allow you to do it. And here there is a small problem Then I press 5xShift, I get this sticky keys notification window with focus on it, but cursor still locked in middle of the screen. Now i have annoying window, that i cant close cause my cursor locked in game. The cutscene are not skipped after this moves. Any reasons? I tried run game in window/borderless modes, but it did not give any effect

What I do is that once the window is open I press the right arrow key to select the cancel option and hit enter.

Shift x5 -> Right -> Enter.

Sure, I do the same, but these actions do not skip cutscenes etc I really do not know why its happened Also nothing happend then I press Ctrl-Shift-Esc for task manager It in focus too, but game still lock cursor This glitch literally wont work Maybe this situation is the OS problem

I only run Windows 10 and have consistent success with the glitch, so I can't attest to Windows 8 and below or Mac.

My only other suggestion would be to try timing it differently. I usually launch sticky keys about 1 or 2 seconds after a cutscene begins.

still nothing T.T anyway, tnx for help, Ill try another ways (like update Win8.1 to Win10) idk

Interesting, i both managed to do it on Windows 7 and on Windows 10. I will probably end up creating a virtual machine to test it on Windows 8.1 . In case the Glitch doesn't work there for whatever reason, this might could end up getting the runs killed of :o

I've gone back to looking into this and while I haven't found anything conclusive I can give some suggestions.

Try running in fullscreen when possible, I always run fullscreen and have constant success with it.

Restart your computer to clear up RAM, I do this because the game will run incredibly slow when too much RAM is used.

Upgrade your CPU if you can. I'm not certain about this, but the glitch might not be possible on CPU's with low core/thread count or slow clock speeds. Can't 100% confirm this.

I've always run the game on fullscreen. I use windows 8.1 (4th gen i5 laptop processor prevents me from going higher.) and never reboot to run. I've never failed with the sticky keys glitch other than my messing up my muscle memorization. One thing I would suggest is going to the settings menu and turning on "fix screen resolution." If your display is running at a different resolution from the game it can cause some weird graphical glitches.

Fullscreen might be a key requirement for triggering the glitch since i never tried to run the game windowed.

Furthermore: Sticky Key´s-Window can also get closed using "ESC" which saves 1 button press compared to Right Arrow & Enter, while ESC is closer to WASD.

From my research, sticky keys CAN work in windowed mode, but it's not as consistent as full screen mode.

The main factor in getting sticky keys to work is most likely RAM. I have 16 gigs of RAM in my laptop and the only time I find sticky keys not working is when I have a bunch of Chrome tabs open for a long period of time. So what I think happens is that the glitch utilizes your RAM's cache, and when there's not a whole lot of it (or possibly your RAM speed is too low) it takes no advantage of it. This could explain why my only working fix is to reboot your computer as it properly clears your cache of any memory leaks and junk not being used.
