PoE client blocks macro buttons from keyboard?

In the Logitech command editor, which tab are you creating these in? The Multi Key or Text Block tab?


Hmm, I use the Logitech G-series Key Profiler and the Macro Manager of it.

I uploaded a quick video (50 seconds or so) which shows me using the macros to notepad and then trying them in-game and nothing happening (without proflie changing) if you wanna check?

Shouldn't there be two lines between each of the texts in your text editor test? Enter - keystrokes - enter - enter - keystrokes - enter.

Not that it would solve anything since you should still see the text in the chat box, but maybe there's some weird character getting inserted that the game doesn't recognize.

I personally have no experience with that program. Can you try getting the Logitech Gaming software and see if the macros you make through that work?

Please contact support@grindinggear.com if you need any help.
make sure you dont have caps lock on , the same happens on my logitech G105 if caps lock is on .
Are there at least around 20 ms pauses between keypresses? How did you make the macro, by recording and then typing it in the box, then editing down the pauses? What happens when you try the macro in word or something like that?

Paste the macro here in Spoiler tags if you wouldn't mind, it seems like there might be a problem with the macro itself rather than a keyboard trapping problem or a blank macro profile.

No. :P

No enters - /oos/oos/oos...

One enter
/oos
/oos
/oos
...

Two enters

/oos

/oos

/oos

...

Thanks, though. Good to check these things.

Sure. I'll check that one out too.

No, I don't. That would be too slow anyway, you could easily interfere with it (add characters in accudentally etc). The issue isn't how the macros fire (they work in other games too). Just that it's not even executed. It could be as simple as pressing 'A' button once, and it wouldn't go through.

I tried adding 20ms everywhere (maybe client can't handle that many keystrokes per second?) and it had no effect.
You wouldn't be vulnerable to inserting keypresses, 20ms is a very short delay. You can /oss in ~60ms, which is what most AHK macros do. On your macro manager, set delays between keys to be something like "0.02 sec".

I wanted to see the actual script, I'm familiar with the software you're using. So you've tried the simple "A" script and that fails? In that case, are your keybinds in PoE set weirdly somehow?

Tell me what you want and from where please. I'll accept and appreciate any help/ideas to get this fixed. I'm 100% sure it's not about delays. I've done macros with a single key press, macros with several key presses with and without delays and nothing gets picked up.

Nothing should be set weirdly, all drivers are up-to-date and generally I do maintenance regularly to keep the system fast and clean.

I never had any problems for macros with my old mouse software, the keyboard software used to work I think but randomly just stops working (not working right now) and my more recent mouse software (Roccat Kova+) doesn't pick any special keys. That's the reason I tried setting up my keyboard again but no luck.

All this is only in PoE, with both steam and standalone client. The settings can't be wrong because they work in all other games I've played recently and used the special buttons (Divinity OS, Skyrim, Fable, Rift, Warframe).

When searching forums and support threads all around the webs I found some people reporting similar issues for specific games only (someone had Resident Evil 5) but there were no solutions provided there.

It's really fking weird. I'm totally clueless what to do.

Just some additional stuff I tried already

Different usb ports
Re-installing relevant drivers.
Running the softwares as admins.
Creating new profiles for PoE.
Using only 1 default prolife with the macros.
Disabling LEDs.
Unplugging headphones.
Running with steam overlay.
Restarting system.
Restarting drivers.
Changing relevant process priorities to high in task manager.
Weeping silently.

I see you've tried a lot of stuff to fix the macros, but it's not clear what your macros actually are.

Please show us at least one of your macros, even the simple "A" once remap you were talking about. Then tell us the actions you would expect from that macro, and the actual results. It would also help to have a copy of your production_Config.ini from the Path of Exile folder in My Games.

I use left/right arrow on mouse to scroll through stash tabs eaily. Well I would use, if it worked. I expect it to press LeftA ("Vasen Nuoli" in Finnish) once and that's all.
