Guild Wars 2

Hi All
I would like to report a possible rare bug in game. About a week ago my wife was playing GW2 when her character stopped moving, she could use all her skill keys and every other key apart from the “WSAD” keys the only way to get moving was to activate her elite spirit. If she is combat and the skill is recharging 90% of the time will result in her death. It happens in her instances as well and sometimes she has to logout and log back in to fix it.

We have replaced her keyboard and it still happens. It only happens in GW2 no other game. It has happen to me once or twice but never as often as she gets it every session of GW2 she plays. She loves the game and has logged nearly 300+ hours but this bug is starting to put her off playing. Any ideas or fixes.

If you haven’t already, go into the windows accessibility settings and disable stickittenys.

The location of this setting varies with the windows version, but google should tell you the steps if you search.

Filter fun: The words “sticky” and “keys” are what you want.

I’ve had this bug happen to me once as well. My stickittenys are off for the record.

It happened to me in the Field of Ruin (near one of the Ogre camps. I was fighting an Ogre and one of his pets (griffon I think). I was hit with a knockback/knockdown, then my character was locked in place. I couldn’t move, but I could still attack with my weapon skills. Eventually I was hit with another knockback that seemed to reset the bug.

Hmm… I’ve noticed that also. It has happened on rare occasions, but nonetheless , noticeable. Using movement skills such as Shield Bash gets you going again. Hard to pinpoint it though. Best guess is bug with being knocked down / immobilize and character speed doesn’t get reset for some reason.

Not a big deal because I have 3 movement skills, but I can see it being a real problem for someone without movement skills.

have you tried re-mapping your keys to something else? just something to try.

OT: this thread makes me wonder what is so bad about stickittenys that the forum algorithms insist on censoring it :/

I think there is a slang offensive word regarding people of Jewish descent if you look in those words. My best guess anyway.

Hey thanks for info, i checked setting and the stickittenys has been disable already. so no luck so far.
Cheers

I experienced it several times, too.

With my mesmer I can get her out by using “phase retreat”.
My ranger can use “quick shot” (I think it is that skill…).
Both just teleport my characters a little bit out of that place where they are stuck and I can use my keys and move again.

I am not sure, but I think it did not occur on my other characters (yet?). I play every class.

I have had this happen numerous times also, I have noticed when it happens at the time I had used my “f” key.
