    Hey everyone,
    I just got my m11x last week and was severly discourage/disappointed when i found a glitch in WoW. For some reason, whenever i'm on a flying mount or swimming my spacebar doesnt work. It doesn't make my character ascend in those environments. but when i am running/walking and or on a land mount, the jumpy button works fine.

    Any advice????? i am running the hybrid graphics and etc... let me know! ill try anything. i've already reinstalled WoW twice.

    Sounds Like a glitch in the game not your computer wait for a patch

    I would try to repair wow and if that doesnt fix it reinstall wow. Definitely isnt a probelm with your laptop rather the wow software.

    I know little things like this can be a bother but it sounds like something very very small.

    As a note, I tend to navigate wow by almost constantly holding down the right mouse button so that the camera controls my characters POV. This is especially true when flying or swiming as it allows me to easily fly up or down. Im not sure if this is exactly how everyone else controls their character but I just thought it might help as it allows for complete control without using the space bar.

    Switch off all UI enhancements and addons - mine works absolutely fine, in fact one of the reasons I bought the M11x was for Warcraft.

    As everyone else wow works great on my m11x. Try a fresh install of the game.
