I'm afraid many online games block tools like XMBC and others because they can be used to cheat. I expect the game detects simulated input API's used by XMBC to block the keystrokes. I'm not sure why it would work using the remote control, does the machine you are remote controlling have XMBC installed? If not, maybe the game does not detect the input as suspicious - I don't really know, but I don't think there is much I can offer in the way of assistance.

Regards,
Phil

I expect when NOT on the remote PC (i.e. on the local one WITH XMBC) the game is detecting XMBC and blocking simulated input.
On the remote PC, Without XMBC, the game does not detect XMBC (as it is not there) and respects/receives the simulated keystrokes.

The other possibility is that this ultraview remote program sends the input to the remote machine differently, in a way that it is not detected/blocked by the game. But I don't know how Ultraview works so its only a guess.

As its an online game, and many online games detect/block XMBC and/or the Microsoft SendInput API that XMBC uses, there is nothing that can be done in XMBC to avoid that blocking.
