Guild Wars 2

When using the right mouse button for “steering”, the “About Face” (turn 180 degrees) keybind does not function.

Sometimes “about face” doesn’t work, regardless of other keys. I haven’t found any pattern to it: it’s not combat, other movement, other keys, skills on cooldown, etc.

just tested it, can confirm it does not work if using RMB to steer when autorunning

It’s entirely possible that there’s more than one bug at work here. Holding a mouse button down definitely does disable “About Face”, though.

I get this about-face error and I don’t use mouse to steer. I press the button, but it moves slightly but about-faces back to where I originally faced. And does this several times too, no matter how lightly I tap the key (so I know it’s not me holding it in for too long, making the character ‘about face’ twice!)

Sometimes it’s happened when I’ve killed a foe. Other times when I’ve run away from doing an action with something (Pressing F to view a picture, for instance). Sometimes it appears to happen for no reason at all. It’s very difficult to try to pin-point where it’s coming from though, as these could just be coincidence.

I use a combination of keyboard and camera control (right click on mouse) to move my character, so to me the “about face” option gets very uncomfortable to use due to it being disabled while using right click… I hope this gets changes some day. I don’t see a reason for it to work like that.
