Keys keep getting stuck ingame

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:06 pm

Almost everytime I sprint, my sprint key gets stuck and makes me continue running until all my stamina depletes and continues after it regens. The same for lockpicking, when I hold down the d button to turn the lock, it breaks my lockpick and continues to turn it without me doing anything. If I stop trying to pick the lock, it makes my character move to the right unless I keep hitting A.

This has only started happening today, I've owned this game for a month now. I think it might be the newest windows updates which are causing this(does skyrim use .net framework?), but I'm unsure. Does anyone else experience this?

Yeah, seen this with the W-key. I'm running forward or in a melee using W — I release W but keep wanting to go forward. Briefly keying W again seems to cure it temporarily — until the next time it happens. It feels very much like the keyboard has a stuck key. It might not be the game; it might be the keyboard.

I've had this happening to me as well since the latest update. Seems to be the W key more than anything

I was having a simaler issue today. I was having to crush my alt key to get my character to actually run. Letting up on the pressure at all would stop the run animation.
