Hi fellas,

So 1 year ago I moved to Beijing to start a new job. I already played ESO from Beijing last year and it was fine. However now I came back after a break and I have a very weird problem:

My character keeps running forward after I already go off the gas. The longer I was running, the longer he will run after releasing forward. E.g. If I run for 15sec he will keep going forward for 5sec after I already stopped. I can still turn, or trigger skills, or jump and so on, but he will just not stop running. It's damn annoying.

I tried different VPN locations, now I am using WTFast which brought down my ping to an average of 200. I disabled all addons, updated my graphic card driver, played around with settings and checked whether my keyboard is jammed or whatever, but nothing has helped so far.

Does anyone have an idea what this is?

    Make sure the movement keys (including auto-run if you're using it) aren't bound to more than one action. Try rebinding the keys to see if that makes a difference anyway.

    Ive had this problem before. Or at least similar. Check if you're running any other programs that are using internet. I found when i loaded into a match of overwatch i got this problem in eso as both were loaded at once. It may also be a problem with straight up programs with large size.

    Also try a different keyboard. I had a keyboard issue ones and when I put a cheap on in it was fine.

    Had this before. It was a sticky button that just locked in place for few seconds after pressing it. Only understood it when I was typing something into word ;-)

    It might also be a keyboard driver issue. Are you using the Windows default driver or the manufacturer's own driver specific for the keyboard? Have you tried reinstalling the driver?

    I do, but then I had to go back inside last summer cause our own air pollution reached levels even more Hazardous than Beijing for a good couple weeks. You can thank the Wildfires for that.

    Aaaaaand we have a winner. The W on my keyboard seems to slowly recover from a long press down, hence it did not effect short taps and was hard to notice, as typing is perfectly fine.

    Thanks all, it was a slowly jamming W.

    German salary but salary deductions at 15% instead of 45% while maintaining similar benefits (insurance, pension). Hell yes. Besides it's quite easy to cope with. Air filters at home & office, mask outside when air is really bad (approx. 10 days per year).
