Sudden stops

echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but now sometimes when my captain is moving, they will inexplicably stop. And I didn't let off the move key. I have to let off the move key and press it again to get them moving.

It happens a lot on Risa, but it isn't limited to there. I've had it happen in missions too.

One note, if I'm moving and press the 'B' (shooter mode) button, they'll stop when they didn't before. And when I'm on the floater it will sometimes come to a dead stop just after I push the 'W' (move) key. It will sometimes do this twice.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    yep, i've got this too...really damn annoying

    i thought maybe it might've been related to that 'Keep moving during contact dialogue' option having turned itself off like privacy settings and the profanity filter sometimes randomly do, but turning it off and back on again did nothing​​

    I was just about to start a thread regarding this issue. It seems to be limited to when one plays in FPS mode (which I do exclusively) so it bugs the heck out of me!

    I also have this bug, thought it was my keyboard, but it works everywhere else, and this only happens in STO. This bug and the hails dropping cloak bugs are killing me.

    The hails dropping cloak has been in since the KDF launched. Major annoyance for everyone who cloaks.

    Yep, I have no idea why they don't even try to fix it. and this character stopping bug is so damn annoying too, I hope both of these things get some immediate attention.

    I hope it gets fixed too. Now that you mention it, it does seem to happen in shooter mode, though I could swear it happened out of shooter mode. I might be misremembering though.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    I have the same issue but it only happens with my Temporal recruit. It does not happen on any of my other characters. It also doesn't seem to matter where I am when it happens. And it is starting to become a little more than an annoyance.

    Well, it happened on my lvl 60 Fed when she was doing the new missions. I was taking her through the Breen story to get the BOFF and I think it happened somewhere in there.

    But it does seem to happen mostly with my AoY guy.

    Can concur. Have had this happen several times since the initial AOY patch dropped. Usually requires moving in a different direction and then moving back in the direction I was going.
  • madhabmaticsmadhabmatics Member Posts: 12 Arc User
    Have this happen a lot. I tested multiple keyboard and controller devices and found that it continued to occur when using keyboards, razer orbweaver, and the native laptop keyboard.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    It's not exclusive to the AoY recruit either, it's happening a lot to my Delta Recruit too. She's going through Frozen and has inexplicably stopped when I was still pressing the 'go' key.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    Nice. Waited a couple days before deciding to report this bug but nice to see it's here.

    It happens on all toons. It's only been since AoY (Wednesday). It happens in shooter mode (not quite 100% sure about this as I switch to RPG for combat usually). Affects running, flying with the floater, the wave race etc. It appears to only be tied to the W key. i.e. if I start running using an arrow key (in shooter mode), I can't get it to happen. It occurs within a few seconds of when you start running. Once you are stopped and start running again, it's fine until something resets things. Not sure what resets things so it happens again but it's probably things like dialog menus etc.

    I'm having the same issue as well, even on really old characters, so it's not something bound to AoY recruits.. this is annoying as hell... it happens on risa, during missions and on social maps like DS9. It does however seem to be limited to shooter mode. I use the arrow keys for running btw, so it's not bound to the 'w' key or any particular key. Also for me it happens repeatedly without any sort of 'reset'..
    I also get the impression a number of 'events' which previously didn't stop your movement now sometimes do.. e.g. switching to/from shooter mode or opening/closing the character or map screen while running.

    Please fix.. it's really annoying.​​

    haveing the same issue on my AOY character, also keybinds can't be changed, they are stuck on Joy6 for 2 and Joy10 for 3 on tray, and various other Joy, i don't even own a controller, this should never be on by default! i am very familiar with how to change keybinds, it's not me i assure you, it just will not change on a AOY character, all my old characters keybinds are fine. Also having this run issue where you just are running and you just stop, it's like you hit a invisible brick wall, very annoying. Both issues appeared at same time i figured they might be related. I have been hitting the B button on my keyboard and running in the other mode this whole time i have leveled. Pretty much ruined AOY for me.
  • badgerpants999badgerpants999 Member Posts: 241 Arc User
    I'm having the same issue on my AoY toon. He will stop for no apparent reason whether I'm using autorun or just the W key. will happen every time I swap to shooter mode though

    Exactly the same issue, and often as I stop I see a white progress bar complete above my character. I see this "stopping" during all activities.

    Also, the controls for surfing work completely different on my temporal character which is not right at all. If I go from normal to battle mode, I slow down to a stop. Today I jumped off the board at the end and kept going (and no I do not have ski boots on ... character does not even have them). I got disqualified as I went out of bounds at the end. Please look at the code between temporal and non-temporal characters. I am sure you will see changes in the code.

    Getting this continuously on all toons, thought I had PEBCAK issues, swapped keyboard, tried controller nothing helped. Was mainly in shooter mode but did occur occasionally in RPG mode​​

    I have this problem, too.
    I'm not throwing my keyboard into the monitor over it or anything but it's enough of a problem to keep me out of the ground STF's.
    Annoying.
    Very annoying.
    Please nerf the annoyance.

    Can confirm, have this bug as well. Surprised Cryptic didn't upgrade their server infastructure with all the money we gave them for this expansion.
  • tempus64tempus64 Member Posts: 806 Arc User
    From tomorrows patch notes

    Known Issues:
    • There are numerous functionality issues with Shooter Mode.

    Guess there won't be a fix for us tomorrow.
  • therealast#5355 therealast Member Posts: 3 Arc User
    I have had this issue as well and have info that Cryptic may find useful. From all the data I have collected there is a fix that has taken place before. The problem lies in the code that was reused from the Delta update for the AoY update. For players that have had this issue in the past have the Delta patch prior. The players who joined STO afterwards never started having this problem until the AoY update hit and the reused Delta code was reintroduced.

    This key "break" happens when;

    ** switching from observance of RPG mode to Shooter mode. The break corrects itself with no need to reset the key by merely switching back to RPG mode. However if you do not switch back to RPG mode, you must press the movement direction key again.

    ** scrolling view in/out also creates this key "break"

    ** random occurrence will happen during general movement of view with mouse while traveling ( generally anytime an "interaction" appears onscreen either NPC or object )

    ** happens on ever character Fed/KDF/RRW/AoY

    ** have had happen only on ground not space. Occurs on foot, jetpack, and powerboard.

    ** Have reset all character keybinds and options.... No Change

    ** Created new character tested without change to keybinds..... No Change

    ** Uninstalled and started with fresh install...... No Change


    I have submitted tickets along with several from my fleets. We were told to submit bug reports in game. All players submitted bug reports and no word in update. Figure they don't realize that this is a fix that they reverted with this reused code. Hope this helps guys. ;)

    Well, at least it made it to the known issues list. I hope they fix it before I have to do Dust to Dust again.

    It's very annoying as it is. Especially when doing single-player ground missions.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    Not in tomorrows patch notes as being fixed either. So it looks like another week of suffering with it.

    Which is getting rather annoying, since some of mine suddenly stop two or three times now, rather than once.

  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    Huh. Haven't had it happen to ships, just shooter mode on ground. Only time I can't move in sector is if I'm stuck in a sun.

    Well, it's a persistent problem.
    It's happening with a new Rom toon.
    Mention of it in the "known issues" section is non-existent.
