minor solution to Tartarus diagonal movement problem


If you are running into issues where you are unable to move diagonally with the Tartarus d-pad-stick thing, the problem happens when you change the usage from the 4-way to 8 in Synapse. Not sure why it does this, and maybe Razer can get it figured out, but if your diagonal option doesn’t work, like trying to press W and A, or S and D, save your settings in the 4-way option and restart your computer. When your computer comes back on, it should be working normally. You can still change the buttons, like from WASD to the arrows, or whatever you want, but AS SOON AS YOU CHANGE IT FROM 4 TO 8 DIRECTION, even if you change it back, it will cease to work and you have to restart your computer.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! Razer should send you $120 for this; I was about to return my Tartarus.

Poking around a little bit in the program,


It looks like that when you toggle the two different states, the 4 direction state doesn’t get properly reloaded. The 8 direction state stays active in 4 direction for the intercardinals and BUT the cardinal directions are replaced with the arrow keys.

SO, the reason why diaginal movement doesnt work after switching states is because the device is sending an joystick input (X, Y) instead of multi-keyboard (W, A) for example.

So best to have this set to 4 way (NOT) 8 way.  to use as in-game joystick in lieu of WASD ?

 


Thank you. I thought something was wrong with the interface to Space Marine 2 which I just bought. Would have taken me a long time to figure this out!
