 Ignore deactivation doesn't seem to work at all for me, all other hotkeys work while in a full-screen game but ignore deactivation just simply doesn't in any game I try it with.

Anyone know what can be causing this?

Edit: Actually it works for most things now somehow but still not for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (on Steam).

 Hello Dimitrias.

Have you tried to use the compatibility mode for the ignore deactivation feature (hotkeys > actions > ignore deactivation > options for this hotkey > compatibility mode)?

If that doesn't help, then tell me please, what anti-virus software are you running?

What our product are you running (name, version)?

Best regards.

 What is the compatibility mode?  That part is new to me.  What's it do differently?

 Hello Chris.

Compatibility mode for the Ignore deactivation feature slightly changes the hotkey processing mechanism. It is designed for using with such windows, that can't be affected by the Ignore deactivation in the standard mode due to hotkey processing difficulties.

Best regards.

 Hello Dimitrias.

As we can see, Ignore Deactivation actually works with the game, but the game itself locks the mouse within it's window. You can see it if you switch between the tasks with Alt-Tab - you're able to work with keyboard in active windows.

Unfortunately, there is no solution for this situation, but you can use the following workaround:
Switch to particular window and press the "Lock mouse" hotkey - you will be able to work with the mouse within this window.

Best regards.
