Worms Reloaded (demo) menus act as if down arrow is being pressed all the time

technical-issueswindows 7worms-reloaded

Unlike this guy, I can launch the Worms Reloaded demo from Steam on my Windows 7 64-bit machine just fine.

However, once I get into the demo, all the menus act as if I'm holding down the down arrow (or some similar key). I know this is not the case because I'm not touching either my keyboard or mouse, and according to other programs, no key events are being sent. I don't know if this has any effect once I start playing, because I could barely configure my team. Any help would be appreciated.

Some hints:

  • Do you have a joypad connected? Disconnect it and retry

or

  • This behavior happens also to me sometimes in full game (not demo) when I am pressing some keys during load times. It seems like the keys queue is not cleared. So be sure to not press any keys during menu and game loading.
