CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Allow other macros to play back simultaneously option is not enabled for each macro you want to be played simultaneously.

  2. Double-click Game Controllers.
  3. Click the game controller you are using, and then click Properties.
  4. Under Selected Scheme, click the scheme you want to use.
  5. On the Recorder tab, click a macro you want to play simultaneously with other macros.
