[2.1.9] Menu won't open when moving diagonal right

Post by GhostPirate »

1. What did you do?
I move my character to the diagonal right (either up or down) by pressing W+D or S+D and then try to open the menu by pressing 'E'

2. What happened?
The menu does not open.

3. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expect the menu to open. Notably - the menu still opens if I'm moving diagonal left - W+A or S+A, and then press E, and the menu opens.

4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always. Tested on a new save. Log file attached. I turned on "verbose logging" because maybe it matters, not sure. It unfortunately doens't log direction of movement, but I hope you can recreate this.

Could you verify if your keyboard supports key rollover? Those patterns you are listing as problematic (W+D+E and S+D+E) are ones that are susceptible to ghosting and as such it is likely that its the keyboard that rejects inputs as it cannot tell if its E being pressed or S being pressed due to physical wiring inside of the keyboard.

I am unable to reproduce any issues on my end (menu opens even when walking diagonally).

You can use a site such as here to test this; press w, d, & e and see if they all show up.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

Same with my non mechanical keyboard. AWE and ASE work, the other diagonals+E don't, on the mechanical keyboard all work.
