Key Jamming


I was recently informed of a bug where some players found themselves unable to jump while running with their eyes closed. As it turns out, this is a fairly common problem for new game devs of which I was unaware. I don’t understand the entire problem, but it all comes down to certain keyboards only detecting certain combinations of multi-key-presses. To make these keyboards work for players playing Insight, I’ve added two additional keys that can be used to close the player’s eyes.

If anyone knows a better fix feel free to elaborate.

TLDR: If you experience key-jamming, use z or ctrl instead of spacebar to close your eyes. You can also try using the arrow keys instead of WASD.
