Some games don't like simulated keystrokes. This can be intentional or a side effect of their use of DirectX, DirectInput, etc. that is common in a highly graphical environment like a game.

Things you can try are:
run the game in windowed mode through the games options

add this to the beginning of scripts

Code: Select all

#InstallKeybdHook	; Helps AutoHotkey function better with some games.
#UseHook			; Helps AutoHotkey function better with some games.

or this

Code: Select all

SendMode, Play

or this

Code: Select all

SendMode, Input

or some combination.

If the game is intentional attempting to prevent scripting then it can be very difficult to circumvent.

Many games require a key to be held for a certain amount of time.

Try adding this line to the start of your script:

SetKeyDelay, 0, 50

You might need to use higher values (eg 100).

Also, some games require that the script is running as admin in order to receive keystrokes.

See this post for info on solving admin-related issues:

If the version of Ragnarok you're playing has a hackshield that may cause problems also if the game is run in True Fullscreen mode (you can tell if there is no top border) that can also be problematic. If you have hotkeys that conflict with in-game keybindings, that can be an issue as well. And, if you are running multiple scripts simultaneously you could get conflicts there also.

When you say "doesn't work properly" that leaves it pretty much up to the responder's imagination what is actually happening.
