    Hi,

    I am dying to try out the game, but unfortunately I can't move my char other than forward. Keyboard is not recognized at all. I can click on the chatbox and enter text there, but it won't accept the enter key, so I cannot send any messages. The keyboard is working 100% though so it is no hardware problem.
    I read that there is such an error when you alt-tab out of the client window, but it doesn't help if i stay focused on client window all the time.
    Never had such an issue before with any game :(

    Next issue is that I can't post in the release 41 Feedback section. Would have rather posted there.

    Running Win10 Home 64bit,
    Prozessor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1231 v3 @ 3.40GHz, 3401 MHz, 4 cores

    Regards
    Skarth

    been getting this as well, I think it unfreezes if you tab in and out cant say for sure.. was too much under the influence when this happened so couldn't really write a report on it either :p
    edit: didnt have to restart the game to get it fixed atleast that i remember! ^^

    Has happened to me a few times - not quite like that, but basically the gaming mouse is dead. It's still lit up (powered and connected) - the reprogrammed keys don't work AND all glyphs on the hotbars are dimmed - can't select anything.

    It behaves like an initialisation glitch - exiting and restarting has always fixed it.

    Unfortunately restarting doesn't do the trick. Tried admin/non admin and Win7 compatibility. Nothing helps. Mouse is not dead though, just mouselook is not working. Forward with middle MB or R+L is possible and cursormovement also possible. Keyboard only in chatbox with enter not working. Would reinstall if only download was not soooo slow.

    Try scrolling using the mousewheel, that fixes it for some who've seen similar symptoms to what you describe.

    I heard elsewhere that the default keybinding to TAB for switching out of reticle mode may have been accidentally switched to off after the settings menu update.

    Not sure if this is the same problem, since I haven't experienced it myself.

    I attempted to suggest to the last person to post about this to put it in the bug forum to get more attention, but apparently they were offended by my suggestion.;)

    It's strange that you can't post there, but perhaps somebody else who can and has experienced this can write it up.

    Sounds like a total blocker. :(

    My understanding is that, on new installs, TAB now switches target. It won't affect your existing settings unless you click on reset to default in options. I think there are/have been some issues where starting up an offline character can reset some settings.

    This problem was just on Discord. Not sure if it is the same player, but for the benefit of anyone else:

    AV software was blocking the SotA app. Also make sure your ports are opened:

    I had a problem like this before, and it happened again when I started the QA build yesterday. Glyphs stay greyed out and the left mouse button just seems to stop working. Going into Game Options and resetting the keybindings fixed it. Go clue what happened, but was a pain.
