[SOLVED] Logitech G15 and Oblivion - Page 2

Double posting to just keep this topic alive, and that was a complete waste of time. The console still doesn't open.

Hi.
When you enabled the console by changing 'bAllowConsole' to '1', did you change the file that was in the same directory Oblivion was installed under? Or did you change the file in Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Oblivion (For Vista)? The last one is the one that you need to change. (Just double-checking...)

Also, do you have any Infra-Red devices installed, such as media centre remotes etc. Apparently they mess with Oblivions' programming, in some cases rendering the keyboard completely unusable.

If that fails, make sure your keyboards' drivers/software are all up to date, then try patching Oblivion to the latest (1.2) patch.

Oh my, you sir, are a genius. I have a remote that came with my Windows Vista Media Center, I use it from time to time, and I still want to. But now do I have to unplug its receiver?

EDIT: And oh yeah, Ballowconsole was already set to one. The only thing I changed in the configuration, was to get rid of those starting videos. You know, "Bethseda Soft works, Zenimax media company" ect.

Yess! Yess! Hail Tiber Septim! Screw Uriel Septim! Er.. I mean... It works! I thank you so much! But now...I don't like cheating in Oblivion...

But I still cheat in all my other games! Thank you so much! Booya!

EDIT: And hey, How come my receiver caused this all along?

**pharoah** · 08-08-2007, 02:06 PM

honestly i have no idea

thats really hard to say without some research.it may be due to having multiple wireless devices. < only a guess

InvaderZim · 08-08-2007, 02:50 PM

Bleh, Well, Everything is solved, and that is enough for me.

That's how Tiber found the solution, so when he checks this thread, hopefully he'll be able to explain. Glad to hear it solved the issue. Enjoy your gaming, InvaderZim.

Unfortunatley I can't give a technical 'reason' as to why this works, I couldn't find anything about it anywhere on the net. I'm guessing the IR device interferes with the keymapping because many people using XP Media Centre edition have had identical problems. This looks to be the only thing that solves it, short of disabling the IR device via the BIOS.

Glad I could be of help.
