    Title: Frozen in place on zone in
    Reproduction Rate: 1/1
    Blocker? Y
    Details: Entered Serpent's Spine Mines, usual invulnerability animation ended but hotbar did not light up. Can rotate camera and interact with chat but cannot move with WASD, cast any spells or draw weapon. I can open my inventory and click on stuff, but if I attempt to use something (e.g. teleport scroll) I get a message "You are already performing another action."
    Steps to Reproduce: Not sure exactly, seems like something went wrong during or at the end of invulnerability.

    Thanks @Wintermute of CoF

    The first thing we need to figure out is if these types of things are one-time things or happen consistently or if there are a specific series of steps to reproduce them, it's *very* helpful, and really improves the quality of the bug report, if this information is included initially, otherwise we'll need to get it verified/researched. Thanks!

    If I had a specific series of steps I would have put it alongside "Steps to Reproduce:". At the moment, I don't.

    Fair nuff. At the moment, I don't know whether to file this as a critical bug which totally blocks the mine or something nobody can reproduce even if they tried.

    @Wintermute of CoF Next time this happens where WASD don't work but you can still move the mouse, try holding down both the left and right mouse buttons. This randomly happens to me. I can still move and navigate by holding down both left and right mouse buttons. Then normally I just navigate out of the scene and the problem goes away. It's so seldom and the fact I can still move by holding down the two mouse buttons I've not reported it.

    I agree that without replication steps it's unlikely anyone will be able to fix the issue. I can't comment on Portalarium's preferred process, but where I work we tend to log these sort of things and mark them as 'unable to replicate' or 'info needed' - that way when/if they do happen again we can add to the existing info instead of starting from scratch.

    If it happens again I'll try the mouse button thing, in the meantime I'll pay extra attention to what's happening when I zone in. You should report it when it happens to you even if we can't yet work out the conditions which cause it. Even if it's only happening rarely at this point, if we get 1000 or 10000 the number of players it'll be that many times more likely to happen.

    Thanks for the details. Updated reproduction rate to rare and not reproducible.

    As expected, unfortunately we're not seeing this issue when attempting to reproduce internally. Please keep an eye out, and if it happens again, please let us know asap! Any sense of a way to reproduce would help immensely. Thank you for reporting.

    I've had this happen to me.. the scene loads, but for some reason that I cannot reproduce, the scene doesn't load correctly, and keyboard input is disabled. Even mouse buttons mapped to keyboard commands won't work but all regular mouse input buttons work normally. The fix for me, is to exit game to menu, and hit Resume, which reloads the scene and hopefully loads without this game breaking again.. fix this please.. make the keyboard 'wake up' AFTER the avatar loads or something..
