Problem Details:
I have an issue holding down 3 and 4 keys at once, the keyboard stops responding and I am missing out on notes in high levels because of it, is there anything I can do besides quickly swap between keys

Thanks for the help in advance, I hope it is just a setting and not a hardware issue

This is likely because your keyboard does not support a high enough "Key Rollover": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key). So, a hardware issue, and there isn't really much you can do about that other than get a different keyboard with a higher key rollover amount.

thanks, it is a laptop, although a gaming laptop, you'd think if I paid like 1000$ on something it would support at least 4 keys being held down at once lol. I think I have 4 key rollover, but I have to offset two keys. so I can hold down four, but not press them at once.
