Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Last two of days ive been experiencing issues controlling my character…

I use my right mouse button to change direction, while using keyboard keys to strafe and occasionally move forward, if im travelling in a straight line. I imagine this is the same for the vast majority of players on GW2.

What ive noticed, is that if my cursor moves over the hit box of any object/character i can interact with, i stop being able to control which direction my character is facing using this button – in fact, i need to find a ‘clear’ piece of screen to move my cursor to, to re-press my mouse right button, to be able to control my character’s direction again. Its like my mouse right button, prioritises interaction, and defaults to this, whenever it passes over an object i can interact with. EDIT: Its not as consistent as i first thought after more messing about.. but still sometimes i lose control over my character while using the right mouse button and need to find some clear screen to reapply the right mouse button.

I barely notice this when i am out in the wilderness, but around town, where there are a lot of npc’s, players and things to interact with, it can become a real nuisance. Its especially annoying in PvP – generally player targets are changing direction frequently, so my mouse button is continuously pressed, and quite often you’ll be surrounded by players leaving little ‘clear’ screen space.

Is this something anyone else is experiencing? Or maybe its my own setup….?

Thanks!

So no one ever has any problems turning their character using their RMB….?

Its driving me up the wall, and even though i have not had any responses to this particular thread, a quick google search will show there are plenty of other people experiencing this bug.

This on top of the input lag, negative acceleration, camera getting stuck on scenery, smoothing, lock ups, inertia/easing and a narrow FoV, is a game breaker for me and i wont be playing again until this problem is resolved. (Its too frustrating trying to pvp only to lose control of your character in the middle of a fight and die because of it… )

Hopefully will be back soon..

I am having constant problems with the movement “stuttering”. My character with stop dead in its tracks and will not move at all. Using the mouse is useless (and I have tried on several mice.). Sometimes if I push the forward movement key, she will take a few more steps. Pushing R for run usually works but I find it a pain to try to control her just with movement keys. I have downloaded graphics drivers, and several other things, thinking it is with my computer. But I don’t think it is. Does Blizzard ever check these forums? This has been happening since the update a couple of weeks ago. Before that, I never had a problem!

I have had this exact problem, Akiyl. Good description of it, too. Seems to ‘pick up’ the mouse at random, removing it from it’s prior job of controlling the camera.
