Or temporarily map your W to another key to see if that solves it? I'm giving this one to DeadBB as he said it first. My W key was a tiny bit sticky so when I first login I didn't notice the problem. However the longer (and harder) I held W the more it stuck and the further I ran. That's why it seemed to get worse the longer I played... longer runs. I've got it working a bit better but I really need to break out the rubbing alcohol and the Q-tips. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to offer some help.

The touch pad is disabled and the behavior happens/continues when my hands are completely off the keyboard and mouse make me think that's probably not it. Thank you very much though for taking a few minutes to read this and offer some help.

When I first log in, press W to run and let go it gives the little "skid" animation and stops right away. The longer I'm on the worse it gets. First the skid animation stops. Then it goes 1 then 2 then 3 steps past where I let go of W to the point where it doesn't stop at all. It will be running on it's own with no hands on keyboard or mouse and no auto-run mapped. That is consistent by the way. Starts off fine and gets progressively worse. > > Old laptop? Part of your keyboard might just be dying. Connect any other keyboard to check if it still happens with one that is functional without any doubts. > Also you didn't say if you've actually tried remapping w into another key, so if you didn't then try that. I reset the keys to default and tried putting Run Forward on another key but it didn't seem to matter. I'm running a gaming lappy that's about 18 months old. i7-9750, RTX 2070, 16 GB ram etc. Don't have an external keyboard that I can try at the moment. Thank you for taking the time to offer some help.

A bit more info. The longer I'm in the game the more it happens. When I first log in, press W to run and let go it gives the little "skid" animation and stops right away. The longer I'm on the worse it gets. First the skid animation stops. Then it goes 1 then 2 then 3 steps past where I let go of W to the point where it doesn't stop at all.

I'm not sure how key bindings could cause intermittent behavior. Especially since the GUI stops you from double mapping keys. However at this point I'll try anything and if it works I'll be happy to bow down. :)

Ok so the chat trick doesn't work for me. I've taken a closer look at this and the behavior is as if I'm still holding the W after I've let go. I can take my hands complete off the keyboard and mouse yet I keep running.... sometimes for 3 extra steps, sometimes it never stops. The difference between this and auto-run is that hitting S cancels autorun. If I hit S during the problem behavior it stops you but as soon as you let go it starts running again. To see what I mean just hold down W and tap or hold S a few times. I have gotten a brand new mouse with no luck. Not saying anyone can fix this but it's hard to believe that it's only me. Anyway thank you everyone for the help you provided.

I can't imaging doing a jumping puzzle and having to switch to chat every time I want to stop. Thank you! > > Well, it helps me to stop this running for the life asura until the bug decided to appear again. So yeah, it somehow stops the bug for an unpredictable amount of time. It even allowed me to do SAB w2 trib mode, so... That's a work around I can handle. Thank you nopinopa for the suggestions.

> @"nopinopa.4861" said: > Actually, nothing else except tapping in the chat helps me. It's definitely not a keyboard problem since I've no problem with it not in other games nor in any other app, there is no double lettering, nothing. And I also changed the keyboard, yes. The problem occurs only in gw2, my character suddenly not gonna stop spinning or running forward. Good deal I'll give that a try. Very much appreciated.

Activating chat stops you just once or it fixes it for a while? I can't imaging doing a jumping puzzle and having to switch to chat every time I want to stop. Thank you!

Or temporarily map your W to another key to see if that solves it? Thank you for your thoughts. I can't try a different keyboard as it's connect to my laptop. The remap would be a good test and as soon as it starts to hit me again I'll try it out. Thank you!
