Guild Wars 2

I seem to be getting a problem more and more lately. I will be playing and then next thing I know my character is stuck running to the left or right (occasionally diagonally). I usually have to press the direction he’s moving to make him stop.

I thought at first this was an issue with my game pad. I use a Belkin 52te and thought maybe it was getting old and wanted to die. So I switched back to using my keyboard and it seems to happen MORE now. Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it? EXTREMELY annoying

Any chance that Windows “Stickittenys” got enabled by accident? I think it’s under Accessability Options or something, just in case.

Thanks, hadn’t really thought of that but that doesn’t seem to be the problem. I keep most of those things toggled off, I think it would require pressing Shift 5 times in a row to toggle it on and I don’t think any of my keybinds include a shift. That doesn’t appear to be the problem.

My razer blackwidow keyboard does the same but very rarely, tho i still havent found a solution for it.

I thought it was my keyboard actually..but yes ive experienced the same,doesn’t happen that much that it really annoyes me though.

Well its made me run off cliffs in WvW fighting, which is not a good thing. The hanging up on its own doesn’t bother me as much as the idea of it messing with me in a PVP battle where my character stops doing what I thought it would and then have my focus drawn away from the fight and lose.

I now have noticed it happen occasionally where no matter what I press on my keyboard he won’t stop moving. I think have to click on the screen and then move and he stops. Its almost as if the game has lost focus somehow, but I would think if anything else gained focus I would see my start bar pop up over my game and that has not been the case.

At this point I’m wondering if its a design flaw of my “cheap” hardware. I don’t have a gaming computer, and the belkin gamepad I’m using is quite old. I may try out my wife’s razer nostromo and see if I have the same problems. Also tempted to pull out a PS2 keyboard and see if I still have this problem.

Sounds like a keyboard issue probably triggered when attempting to push down several keys at the same time it is not communicating with the OS properly.

Buy a different keyboard, generally gaming keyboards will handle several keys at the same time fine.

I just use a cheap one and I think sometimes it will just ignore certain key presses – I also am interested in getting a gaming kb.

As nice as that sounds, I’m not someone who can afford a gaming keyboard just to see if it helps.

My current keyboard isn’t exactly cheap as it is, $80 logitech keyboard. And like I said, was having this same issue with my Belkin n52te. Not convinced the problem is the keyboard, looking for someone to confirm that’s what the symptoms point to (or that they point to something else and what that something else may be) before going out and paying for an expensive keyboard that in the end has the same problem.

It also seems to be something that has more recently become a problem. Is it possible something in a game update is causing this? That’s partly why I came here asking to see if more people were having the issue.

Do you have something stupid like ‘clicklock’ installed? It’s basically HP bloatware that disables the keyboard when you use the mouse and vice versa. To prevent the cursor ‘jumping’ on laptops etc.

It seems that hundreds of people are having this issue after stupid HP and Acer started releasing said kitteny bloatware.

Nope, custom PC with my own personal Win7 install.

i use razer nostromo… so its kinda the same as 52te, and i experience the same problem – not only in guild wars! had the same in aion. i guess its gamepad-related issue.

Nope, that’s what I thought too as I had the same problem in SWTOR, but that’s why this thread is here, I switched to using my keyboard and it happened MORE frequently. Its NOT the game pad.

Btw.do you have a mobo with usb 3.0 support ? If so is your Keyboard usb 3.0 and is your keyboard plugged in the 3.0 or 2.0 slot ? Try to switch your keyboard to the 2.0 slot if so.
