Can't push 4 keys at once

[dire-x]

I have a slight problem playing stepmania. Certain songs require me to press 3 or 4 keys at once and my computer will only allow me to press certain combinations of the arrow keys. So whenever I get to the part in songs where I need to push 4 buttons at once I always miss. I've tried assigning the arrows to other keys so that I could play but it still won't let me.
I don't know what to do but I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out here. I'm using a laptop that has a numpad so maybe it has something to do with that?

It's a unchangeable setting on your keyboard.

The only solution is to get a new keyboard, although you can play with the No Hands mod until then.

Are you serious?! Wow this really sucks then. Like I said I'm using a laptop so getting a new keyboard isn't much of an option. Well I guess I better just get a list of songs I can't play then... Totally isn't fair...

You can still plug a new keyboard into your laptop's USB port.

Use the No Hands mod, it'll turn all triples and quads into simple jumps.

I just hit 2 of the keys,quick release and hit the other 2, RLY hard to get above a perfect with that strategy though....never heard of the no hands mod...lol.

also, make sure your NUMLOCK is off. sometimes having numlock on will cause you to only be able to hit 2, but with it off you can hit more.

although laptops are notoriously finicky with keypresses at once.

What if you map the keys in autohotkey? I noticed that in o2jam, I wasn't able to play with certain key combinations for the same reason.

Re: Can't push 4 keys at once

Well numlock off doesn't help me. But using no hands mode really helps. I'm so happy so I can play all three of the songs I couldn't play before lol.

Heres the anser to your problem I think...

You know the config controls thingy?

Well change it from the number things to the letters that are possible to press at once. You can test in the online lobby by pressing the keys you want to use at once. If it doesnt come up without letting go, then it probably wont work.
