TROUBLESHOOTING

game not launching?

• Reinstall or "verify integrity of game files"

To add, this is a short rant!

I spent at least 3 days troubleshooting and trying to get SnapKey to work on my Gamakay TK68 HE. I want to thank the developer for writing an awesome program that doesn't use AutoHotkey! 😊

I did find an AutoHotkey solution that worked, but I'd suggest avoiding that solution if possible, especially for competitive games that use anti-cheat.
