I don't think there's anything new, I looked through the key mappings in both the game client and the .ini file and did not find anything that indicates a new autorun key. My first thought would be to pop the W key off of your keyboard and clean it, there is probably a builup of dust and gunk that are causing it to stick sometimes. 1) Under the input.ini there are only three entries that have anything to do with "auto" or "run", none of them are for auto running. You can change the run from being a keypress to being a toggle, but for either of those you still have to press the W key for either of them to matter. ...\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\input.ini ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleAutoChat",Key=Backslash,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Run",Key=LeftShift,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) ActionMappings=(ActionName="RunToggle",Key=RightShift,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False) 2) Under the "CleanSourceConfigs\input.ni" there are also a bunch of "ManualAutoCompleteList=" entries but none of them have anything to do with movement or running. ..\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\CleanSourceConfigs AutoCompleteMapPaths=Content/Maps ManualAutoCompleteList=(Command="Exit",Desc="Exit (Exits the game)") ManualAutoCompleteList=(Command="DebugCreatePlayer 1",Desc=) ManualAutoCompleteList=(Command="StartFPSChart",Desc="StartFPSChart (after that use EndFPSChart)") ...and a lot more like these.

This - or try a different keyboard .... I have seen (and it still happens at odd times) on a Wyvern that just kind of crests over a hill, and then you let go of "W" (to look around or whatever) but the Wyvern keeps on going forward. I have not really put this to "test", but I almost think it moves without using stamina, and it does not stop so long as you leave all the keys alone. But I have never seen such a thing on any other mount or on foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Another possibility is if you have an Xbox controller attached to your comp and something is pressing the joy stick it can make it happen. That confused the crap out of me for like a year till I figured out what was going on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyBear Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 There's a few instances this type of thing occurs, there's a couple different fixes. 1 fix - pull open inventory, does the character stop, if so, do they keep moving afterwards? If they keep moving, do you have a cryopod or some item in hand at that moment? If so, drop that item. If you are unable to do anything hit the H key, what is the upload timer at when it happens? If the timer is anywhere near 0:00 or 15:20 either end of the spectrum means the continued running is because the game was saving and it will fix itself after save, if it doesn't - pull open inventory or check hand for equipped item and drop it. It should stop after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyTom Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 on further notice, i switched to a different official server and this moving forward happens most of the time after holding down the W key and i have to wonder if its because the server is in Australia and im in the US...

sjskdjkfa Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 The more I experience this the more I'm confident it's not a hardware issue or inadvertently hitting some new auto run key. Rather it feels like a server client interaction desyncing issue. It's like the rubber banding but without the snap back. One of the last times it happened my guy spawned in a near ocean base and booked it into the ocean, kept waiting for the server to wake up and snap him up onto the platform and then a meg was on me, and I died, but I'd just fast traveled there so I was like gear less and didn't need to worry about the body - so thankful for that.... Yet lol - Just waiting for this to cause me to lose some gear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are moving at that exact moment you will be stuck moving until the save finishes. If you are experiencing it outside of those times, there's something else going on. It could be the server wants to crash and so you get those types of pauses in the middle of the 15min timer between game saves. That's usually a sign the server wants to crash or is under extreme burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeHammer Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 This has been happening for a long as I've played the game... 5 years +. Tap the W again when you see it and it will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyTom Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I have this ongoing issue where, i will be moving forward using the W key and if i let go, it keeps moving forward ... nothign I do short of pulling up my inventory , will stop it , or waiting like 10-20 seconds... I also have the issue where if im flying, and I pull up the inventory, close the inventory and try to start moving forward again, it will not move forward with the W key for 10-20 seconds again... I can move backwards with the S key just fine, its just the W key that has been giving me issues .. It is not my keyboard as my W key works all the time outside of ARK Ideas?

Larkfields Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Also check that any game controllers are not resting on their joysticks or buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
