W Key Randomly Stops Working

When I’m moving around in game, my character randomly stops in place even though I’m holding down the “W” key. My keyboard is less than a year old, and is a steel series keyboard with updated drivers. Do you think there is something wrong with my pc or is it an in game issue?

Thanks!

I’d test the W key in other apps to see if it’s possibly the keyboard. Open notepad and spam the W key or hold it down and see if it stops randomly or doesn’t register a keystroke. If it’s the keyboard less than a year old it should be covered under warranty. I don’t know what keyboard you’re using, I presume a Steelseries keyboard has some form of anti-ghosting so I’d guess it’s not that. I can’t personally think of anything game related that would cause a bug like that except for possibly unbinding the W key but you would probably know that as you would then need to rebind it.

I was in Toghast and lost the ability to walk backwards with the S key. My keyboard is fine and I was able to tab out and type SSSSSSSSs in notepad.

As soon as we completed the dungeon and exited, it worked normally.
