Hello, ive noticed this problem for a while now which doesnt allow me to strafe jump to the left, whenever i hold in w+d+leftshift, it works fine i can strafe jump to the right fine, but as soon as i press w+a+leftshift, i keep strafe walking to the left but sprint doesnt go on, and then after a second the keyboard or computer starts beeping in 1 secodn intervals.

Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it? I desperately want this to be fixed.

Seems like a keyboard issue some keyboards do not allow more than 3 keys pressed at a time. I had this problem with the standard packardbell keyboard my 1st pc came with.

Which is why you should go with one of Logitech's gaming keyboards, but many simpler ones do fine for not too complicated stuff. Usually you're fine with modifier keys and a few regular keys, but most keyboards can't take many regular keys at the same time. Just try this (or it may be some variant of it): hold down both shift keys while typing the alphabet. My result using a Logitech Ultra-Flat isn't too good but at least I can strafe jump without any problem:

Have you tried moving sprint to a thumb button on your mouse? Or ESDF for movement?

I done the little test Cynips mentioned and this was my result: ABCDEGHIMNOPQRSUVWXZ

I had this issue to, if you're short on cash just buy a HP multimedia USB keyboard it will allow more buttons at the same time and it's cheap + durable.

you have 2 options
1) change your whole config to see how you can manage to do everything needed without any problems
(will surely take a while testing stuff and will be a pain in the ass, if it is even possible)

2) Just buy a new one ;P
