Movement stops randomly

Not sure if this is a bug, but I’ll report it anyway.

My character, a fresh primalist, stops moving randomly. It will not accept any movement commands. I usually have movement bound to a keyboard key so I keep it pressed down and I move towards where my cursor is.

Relatively often, randomly in combat, I stop moving. I first assumed I was getting stunned, but then I noticed if I kept the key pressed down long after any supposed stun should have ended it still did not move. If I kept the key down, it would not even accept movement commands from mouse clicks.

This is just some idieas on what is happening, after testing it for a while. It sort of seems to forget the movement command for a moment. To move again, I have to let go off the key I’m pressing and then press it down again. I also believe I managed to just let go off the key and not press anything after and then tried to move with mouse. It would not accept mouse movement commands right after. It would only do so after second click. At this time, I did this only once so I might be mistaken.

At any rate, I stop moving randomly and to get moving again takes several actions from me. It might be that I’m indeed stunned each time, but the movement does not continue after the stun ends.

EDIT: Did they change something about when input is registered? I happened to notice a way that reproduces at least one version of this. It may or may not be a bug at all.

If I move around with this movement key on my keyboard pressed down, it will not pick up items. Now if I go to pick up an item, I move towards it with this key pressed down.

  1. If I hover directly on the item, I will not even move at all.
  2. If I pick it up with mouse, character will go to pick it up, if i was not hovering on the item. If movement is still pressed down, character will refuse to move at all until the movement key is released.
  3. If I dont use the movement key from keyboard and only click with mouse. If I keep mouse pressed down while hovering on the item, character will not move. I believe it used. Only after let go of the pressed mouse, character will move to pick it up.

Has some setting been changed/added. I would prefer actions to occur when I press keys, not after I let go off them. Like item pick ups.

my lich character is doing the same. i thought it was a channeling bug. apparently not
