Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I played and had no issue. This morning when I try to walk, my character will freeze and upon releasing the W walk key, My character appears to not have moved at all. From a friends POV, she said I was walking normally, but upon releasing the key my character is teleported back to it’s starting position.

Can I get some help with this?

I have an excellent computer, and most times I can play with the highest setting with no lag. This lag doesn’t seem to be graphical as I changed it to lowest setting and it still persisted.

I have no other lag beyond this. All other animations play properly, and teleporting isn’t laggy at all.

I have a similar issue, mine is just inconsistent frame-rate when I’m moving around. Like it’ll stutter suddenly then go back to being smooth then stutter again. This started today as well.

I notice that I can walk normally if I press the jump (space) button once while holding the walk key. This of course, Only works while holding the w key. Once I let go, I have to do the same combination over again. I also noticed holding down a d or s does the exact same freeze thing that w does. As I said, nothing else lags for me. combat is detailed, the textures are clean, and effects are smooth. I really wish I could get a fix for this as it’s impairing my ability to play the game normally. I instead have to put in a large effort to just walk around.

I uninstalled the game completely and re-installed. This seems to have fixed the issue. I’ll update after some intense game play to see if the fix persists.

I played the game for a couple hours and then closed the game to go take a nap. Upon restarting I started walking and it appears the freezing has begun again… The fix was only temporary. It seems closing the game and opening it again are the only things that could have caused it.

I’ve resigned playing the game for today as I really cannot play with such lag. It’s quite frustrating as this is my all-time favorite game.

I found the issue. It’s on my side, not the game’s side. I’ll have it fixed in a few moments so I can go back to playing. If anyone else has this issue, It’s a keylogger lagging when you hold down keys. I’ve never had one before as I am careful what I download. Not sure how this one snuck into my PC, but at least I know what it is now.
