I'm hoping that this is not an issue only on my computer. I have found that the character movement has some inconsistencies. If you run down (and while still holding the "S" key) press "W" you character will instantly change direction and run up. A great way to dodge on the vertical. However, if you are running up (and while still holding the "W" key) press "S" your character continues to run up and does not register the other key press. There is a similar issue on the horizontal. If you run left (and while still holding the "A" key) press "D" your character immediately turns right. However, if you are running right (and while still holding the "D" key) press "A" you character continues running right and does not register the other key.

I didn't upload a save due to this happens on any new game map.

Thank you,

FWIW I see the same behaviour. Other games behave differently with the same keys so I don't think it's a hardware limitation. The simplest explanation I can think of is input handling along the lines of "if up pressed then move up, else if down pressed then move down".
