Bad Omikron Control?

Anybody have problems with the controls in the Omikron demo? When I use the
keyboard, the left and right arrows don't continuously turn me. I have to
keep pressing it and it turns me about 1/2 a degree each time. My gamepad
works better with the turning, but I can't get the buttons to do anything.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

I've got the same problems on omikron full version. I get through using
gamepad for moving and keyboard for action and run.But if anyone has the
solution it would help !

I had the same problem with cursor control, and found that it was
actually my joystick (Microsoft Force Feedback Pro) that was sitting
slightly askew where I leave it. After I centered the joystick,
everything ran perfectly. So if you have a joystick attached to your
machine, MAKE SURE IT'S CENTERED!

I had the same problem and found a workaround.
For me it helped to disable the Microsoft Intellipoint Software
so Omicron could be controlled via keyboard.

I had that problem in the demo. I unplugged my joystick and removed it from
the control panel configuration and restarted the game and the keyboard
controlls were fine after that.

TriggerHappy :)
