Movement Bug

[aylad]

I've been having a problem with a persistent bug where my character suddenly won't stop moving in the direction I am facing. This usually seems to happen when I press more than one arrow key at once, but happens at other times as well.

I do have joystick support disabled, the problem occurs anyway. The only solution is to close Graal and restart my PC.

This has been a problem for me with all versions of Graal, at least since 1.41 when I began playing and is still an annoyance on 2002.

Is there something I am doing wrong, or could the bug be fixed?

this is not a bug it comes when you have a low internet connection and/or get lag.

Low internet connection? The hell? If THAT was true, I'd never stop running if I connected to a server...

Check if you have Sticky Keys enabled... Might be the case... At least, I think that's what they're called. Haven't tried to screw up my computer lately so... yeah ;

this use to be a big problem it was in one of the bugfix .txt things something about disabling one of the things in your option menu look back to after 1.4ish

It's not lag, it happens on offline levels too.

The "thing" in the options menu is joystick support, I already said I have that turned off.

I don't have StickyKeys on either.

Graal.exe is the only program I've ever had do this, so it's not a problem with my keyboard or drivers, and it's happened on more than one PC anyway.

are you using an optical mouse?

[aylad]

Nope, standard mouse, all standard hardware. Have the same problem on USB keyboard and on PS/2 keyboard, or whatever the old kind is called.

This used to happen to me.
Cause: Holding a directional key during exceptional Level Loading Lag
Solution: Release and hit that key again.

The system recieves "right - pressed", but is too busy to get the "right - released" message. If you send another "right - pressed, right - released" message to your computer (by way of hitting that key again), it says Oh, okay, so that key is no longer down.

Basically.
