    update:
    once its bugged does keys wont get unstuck from restart or reinstalling from keyboard programm
    after 30+mins of constandly pressing all kinds of buttons with those numbers, they start responding
    but the moment i go back in game they get stuck again.

    also checked if my keyboard has a problem but after hours of writing and watching movies all keys are still responding
    soo i guess it should be fine.

    Check if somehow you don't activate some keyboard language thing once you are inside game. You can see this at your keyboard configurations in your control panel, I believe.

    okay gave it some more testing
    after closing maple is usully stay stuck but if i conect and unconnect another keyboard
    while also spamming ctrl+fn+alt+shift+cap + stuck key than they get unstuck after a while.

    alsooo the bugg only happens on my current laptop keyboard if its connected to my other keyboard it works fine.

    ps before some ask it feels really strange to play it with another keyboard.
    and since the other keyboard isnt broken i would prefer to continue playing with my laptop keyboard

    I've got no idea I'm afraid. It sounds almost exactly like Filter Keys, but if you've disabled Sticky Keys it shouldn't be firing.

    Some random questions about it:

    Are you using fullscreens or windowed mode?

    Are you using the default exe or using legends+?

    Has any other game/application given you this issue?

    im using window modus

    not sure about legends+ but i just downloaded the regular version and used it ever since

    and no only maple legends give me the issue

    edit: also the game ran fine for almost a whole year
    and suddenly it happend a few days ago

    edit 2: i also though if maybe a windows update caused a error and rolled my pc back but it didnt fix the problem

    What laptop is it?
    If this started only a couple of days ago, it's most likely either a special brand-specific combination of keys you accidentally activated only recently, or some new software/update installation (or removal). Even the lightest one may count.

    Out of curiosity, when you say that the keys "stop responding", do you mean that they become completely unresponsive? If you try to open a new Notepad window, and hold down one of those blocked keys for like 10 seconds, does anything get written at all?

    im using a lenovo G580

    and yes once they are stuck they dont respond at all no matter where i try to type them.

    and only random button mashing outside of maple get them unstuck....
    also tried other methodes like restart and keyboard software reinstallment beforehand but does didnt do anything.

    If you press Start, and search for "osk", you should be able to open the on-screen virtual keyboard.

    Could you check whether the non-functioning keys work, in that way?

    Excellent idea. If this works, you have a few options to consider;

    -Try using a USB keyboard and see if the problem persist. If the USB keyboard works fine then it is something wrong with the onboard keyboard connection and you can try cleaning or reseating the keyboard.

    -You can try selecting the setting I left a picture of below (sorry for bad quality)
    [​IMG]

    -do a power drain. You can view online for more instructions for it, but basically you take out the battery and ac adaptor, and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then put the ac adaptor only back in, leave out the battery, and see if your keyboard still messes up.

    -If none of those work, last thing to do is build a new PC.

    HOPEFULLY YOU GET IT FIXED!!!! <3
