Movement locked to W

I was McGinnis

I do not know the steps to reproduce it as I was in mid fight on it.

The bug consisted that the game thought the forward button (W) was always pressed. This meant the character was always moving forward. I can somehow explain it back to the Nintendo 64 era, if you held the stick in any direction as you boot up the console, that direction would be considered the zero position. In this case was exactly the same. It was like the zero got moved. This bug persisted during the rest of the match.
Cases:

• If I held W, nothing happened, as it was already there.
• If S held, then character would not move, as moving backwards would cancel the moving forward command
• If A, it would be like pressing A and W at the same time, diagonal movement.
• If D, same as in A but other direction.

I tried solving it by:

• Disconnecting and reconnecting keyboard, FAILED
• Rebinding the W key, FAILED
• Dying in game for a respawn, FAILED

As the game has a warning saying if you leave the match you cannot joined back, I did not try disconnecting & reconnecting. As mentioned, this bugged persisted during the rest of the match. I joined a Sandbox game after the game and the bug was gone, joined a new match and bug was not present. So there IS a trigger to this bug.

Just got the bug again with another key, this time was this A.

This seems to be reproduceable enough.

Although there is a momentary fix: "Exit game", relaunch and Rejoin the match.
DO NOT LEAVE THE MATCH. Exit it.

I disabled steam cloud, followed the following 2 steps:
Open the Explorer window, go to Steam\userdata\[YOUR_USER_ID(IT'S_THE_LONG_NUMBER)]\1422450\remote\cfg and delete citadelkeys_personal.lst
If you have ever performed custom bindings via the console, you may want to delete user_keys.vcfg is one folder higher
We deleted video txt and autoexec.cfg, and everything should work as before.

I've noticed this happening sometimes when I am buying items in the shop or skilling an ability up which causes me to keep moving forward and if I'm firing my weapon it'll keep doing it sometimes as well lol.
