Guild Wars 2

Not that I do not enjoy checking out everything around me but I am finding since the update last night out of the blue I will be running around my chosen map and poof I am slowed down to a slow…. very slow walk.
A certain death if I am exploring a higher map opening waypoints.
My Sister is having a similar issue on her mac mini but her roomie who is on a pc is not having any issues.
Am on a 2011 Mac book pro if this helps.

Go into the settings and check the Keybind for walk. The only thing I could think of that could cause this is if the keybind for walk is somehow being activated – set it to something and then next time the issue happens try hitting it and seeing if it toggles back into running?

Probably a real silly question – but it’s not crippled or chilled?
There’s not really any explainable reason why this would happen on a mac but not a pc because the clients are both identical. So hopefully it’s just that the keybind is somehow getting activated.

It only happens after I change areas or check on the map to look for new waypoints…. I go from a normal walk to a slow deathly slow walk… can swim just fine but just moving on land is at a snails pace till I log out of the map and log back in.

Next time it happens can you try pressing Shift+R . That is the default shortcut for toggling between walking and running and I would be really curious to know if that fixes it or not? Otherwise I strongly recommend starting a new topic in the bug section of the forums.

Does Shift+R solve this problem? I have the same problem, mostly during combat scenes, and I haven’t found yet a way to come back to “normal” movement, except changing map or going back to the “character selection” screen and then back to the game again. Since it happens in dangerous moments, I don’t have much time to try keyboard combinations.

Found this reported in the “Bugs” forum, but nobody gives a solution either

Didn’t get the problem again so I guess it was solved in a lattest patch or something. Doing the happy dance – my survival rate has increased!
