Guild Wars 2

Is anyone else getting this random bug that causes their character to auto run forwards when they’re in combat?

Could this be the Taunt condition which forces you to run towards the foe that put it on you?

No, literally using skills randomly in LA and it will just auto run out of nowhere. Trying to figure out what triggers it now.

EDIT: Started happening after todays patch.

Just to clarify; check your options —> Control Options, and check what button “Auto-Run” is activated by on your keyboard. It might be assigned to a key you regularly press somehow.

Otherwise, it sounds like a bug.

yea i am getting it too. either bug or lag

My Guardian’s been getting that from time to time.
Hasn’t happened enough for me to isolate the cause either, but;

Can confirm. is real thing.

Is it possible that Anet can change the way laptop trackpads function in this game? I found out that this issue happens because when I touch the tip of my trackpad while playing it will lock left click as active and whenever I use right click on my mouse my character will run fowards (left click + right click = run forward). I never had this happen before the latest patch and I haven’t changed any settings or play any different, so I was wondering if it’s possible for Anet to have changed how trackpads interact with the game?

This has been a sporadic thing that has happened in the game. You usually have to move to another action, combat or otherwise, to try and break it.
