X4 sure likes that W key.

I can play for only a few minutes before I realize the W key is stuck. Save game and I it's name is WWWWWWWWWWWWW... etc.
Even after exiting X4, if I open Notepad, W's go across the screen and I can't stop it.
After reboot my PC is normal again :)

Look for a stuck button on a controller, mouse or joystick that is mapped to the same function as the W key. Also look for poor calibration or deadzones for a throttle, pedals or stick that is mapped to the same function as the W key.

You were right!
Actually my HOTAS was using a profile that mapped buttons to keystrokes.
Once I disabled the profile game is working fine.

By the way... I love this game.
