So, was wanting to know if anyone else out there uses a Razer KB for this game and has an issue where the prev/play/pause/next media buttons dont work at all?

its only MWO doing this as i ran a few other games to test it,


curious to know if anyone has this issue and has fixed it ?

Define "Don't work".

Do you mean that when you press them while in MWO, they do not play / pause your music?

Do you mean that you cannot bind them to actions in MWO?

they dont play/pause my music at all now, even if i rebind other keys to change music it still wont do it, it was working up until latest patch, so im not sure if the patch changed something ?

If you have Autohotkey installed, run this script, then tab into the game and hit the media play button. Does the game minimize and a message box pop up saying "HELLO"?
(Try running the script as admin also)

media_play_pause::msgbox HELLO

(If unfamiliar with AHK, download Autohotkey, create a text file called "test.ahk" and place that text in it, then double-click the file.)

This script is to test whether other applications can detect the media keys being pressed while MWO is running.

If it does work, but only while the script is running as admin, try running your media player as admin while playing MWO.

If the script does detect the key, but the media player doesn't, it may well be possible to write a script that redirects the keypresses to a background app (ie the media player) without having to tab out of MWO.
