I still have this issue but only in lol, did you find a way to fix it?

Not Really. Its the anti cheat in lots of games that stop it working. A potential solution was to use autohotkeys to trigger the actions of toastify. There was a few posts about how to configure autohotkeys to work in different games with extended presses etc to make sure they trigger. It seemed to work for people but it was a step I decided ultimately wasn't worth it for me.
