My character keeps moving forward long after I release the forward button

Bigevilpeter

I dont know why this is happening but its getting too annoying specially in PvP Im just running towards something then I stop to fight or whatever and the character just keeps moving foward for a while and I lose control and possibly die

Need help please

That actually happened to me more than once, but only in Cyrodiil.
I was not able to discern any pattern to explain that ludicrous (mal)functioning..

To "resolve" it : smashing every command keys like I a frustrated monkey can sometimes work.
When it does not, you may feel a little better having that mutinous toon finally die.
Can lead to weirdly cheering for the enemy

I would be obviously interested in more in-depth explanation as well as an actual solution though.

Yeah its so annoying its almost game breaking in PvP, its survivable in PvE bit still very annoying, I remember when there was an issue where the camera keeps rotating on its own and it turned out to be something i the app settings so I hope this is simillar

I've been having that issue for awhile now. I play on PC but with a controller and was wondering if the controller was causing it. Do you play with mouse and key board or with a controller?

Something like this might help. I am not sure, but in some games it was the key press buffer. Never happend to me on PC/Gamepad

That made it a bit better but its still there

• Have you tested the W key in notepad to see if there's a recurrence of Key presses
• Try a different keyboard to see if problem replicates
• Clean Keyboard
• Turn off Sticky Keys in Windows
• Update Firmware of keyboard
• Remove any Gamepads and re-test
• If your keys are removable on your keyboard, remove the W key and check the rubber membrame is still functionally in shape, it may have been reshaped after a period of time and is catching the key upon release.

There is an autorun feature, you might have accidentally hit the button for it - you need to hit it again to toggle it off!

By default it is the NUMLOCK key.

I mean it may not be that at all, but it is worth a go
