Can't move using keyboard

I'm on a mac and do have the buggy version of flash. When I opened the game I could only move using the mouse. Couldn't move using ADWS keys or the arrow keys and can't jump. After a couple of minutes I can't move using the mouse either. Re-loaded the game and the same thing happened again.

  • Me too! I even logged in and back out! Can't get out of my house because I can't climb the ladder!

    ETA: I can move when I use Firefox (3, I believe) instead of Safari, even keeping the same Flash version.

  • Yup. I'm stuck in my little yard with my chicken. Also noticed I can't use L to open the quest log.

  • You've tried pressing CTRL-ENTER?
    (Or maybe symbol-enter, or whatever it's called on a mac ;-) )

    Sometimes the keyboard focus gets stuck in the chat window instead of the 'in world' window.

  • Safari users: We know that sometimes directional keys are lost when you change focus to another window or tab. If you have more information on what you were doing before this happens, please let us know.

  • I've had a similar issue, as has my partner. We've been able to play fine, but then occasionally the spacebar can stop working. I've also had a problem when climbing ladders etc where I cant jump off, nor use the left and right arrows to drop off. It can fix itself after some random time, although we usually just refresh the browser.

    Both using Google Chrome on Windows 7 if that's any help?

  • pressing control-enter seems to make no difference

    Basically I enter the game and this is what it's like, no movements available using the keyboard, I can move using the mouse, can squeeze my chicken, water and do other things with my garden plots, look at my inventories, etc. I can only walk using the mouse which looks like a little hand, and when I try to use the keyboard the hand disappears until I move the mouse, and no functions work using the keyboard, including typing in chat. Eventually it seems to freeze, and I can't move at all.

    It's not from changing to another window or tab. The game is just like this from the beginning. This morning before this happened I was sleeping, I dreamed I had 7 kids in rapid succession, but they were all mad at me since I couldn't remember their names. This probably has nothing to do with my keyboard problem though.

    My son formatted my mac to run in either mac OS or windows, so I think I'm going to switch to windows and see if I can play ok there.

  • Yes, the keyboard works in windows, but I'd rather be able to play in mac. So I hope this problem gets fixed somehow.

  • You can play in a Mac, crowdesky, Safari isn't the only browser available to you- you can play using Firefox and Chrome as well.
