Random steps too the right

Recommended Posts

Hello all

Bought Arma 2 like so many on release praying for the ultimate soldier sim and hated playing my waste of £25 game.After reading through as many posts as i can I have either fixed or learnt to put up with most bugs BUT the one I carnt get round is on most levels in play my character ie cooper will strafe right 2 steps when i am moving forward at random times.In a vehicle this is a sharp right turn (Normally right at the nearest tree).My PC is last years spec but I am a smooth game play over eye candy player ie bf2 style and I am pulling my hair out on this one.

Any help would be appreciated from this seasoned gamer.:confused:

Shot in the dark but do you have a controller attached to your PC like a flight stick or steering wheel? Friend of mine had very similar behavior in other games and it turned out to be his flight stick under the desk pushing very slightly against the PC case.

Also make sure you don't have anything jammed into the keys near the strafe buttons.

Do you have 'Evasive Forward' mapped to anything? It makes you do some strange sidestep thing.

Sorry for the delayed reply.I take it from your response Dwarden it is a bad thing not to have evasive forward unmapped.Well i mapped it and sorry no prize i still get the 2 steps to the right at random places.

Hi

Any updates on this?

I also get the sidestepping evasive animation at random times and it is very annoying.

In my case, I get both side stepping right and left.

Also Evasive forward key is unmapped too.

Can we considder this a bug?

EDIT: I just did a little investigation about this, and found that I can reproduse this by pressing W and as you let go of W, press A or D with L-Shift key and quickly let go. L-Shift key must be mapped to the Walk temporaly or Walk/Run toggle function.

I occasionally get this too, both to the left and right. Haven't done much as far as checking out the cause.

Same here, annoying but no dealbreaker for me.

Whats worse is the "auto stand-up feature" when you crawl close to a stonehedge etc. that one had me killed a couple of times... Anyone else experienced that one?

Yes that really annoying, got me killed quite a few times :p

Objects shouldn't force player up but stop it's movement in that direction object is blocking!

In vehicles it might be the mouse-steering that's bothering you.

^^ yep mouse steering does not center... You need to disable thru game controls.

I remember some1 posting a video of the sidestep and he was actually able to reproduce it. It was something when running than you press two buttons and voila evasive action. It happens to me to, but still cant figure the right movements that exactly trigger it
