Movement issues

**Professor America** · 04-15-2007, 03:08 AM

I'm having a very odd problem.Â Â For some reason when I try to walk, it locks up.Â Â Even when the key isn't pressed, it still keeps walking, and I can't do anything else.

It isn't my keyboard, because I've tried playing other games, and I've tried changing the controls.

I don't want to reinstall the game, as I'm too far into it.

*edit* I apologize. This was posted in the tech demo section. That's the wrong one. I'm playing Penumbra: overture.

You might want to read this topic if you haven't, for it sounds...somewhat similar to your situation. If that link does not help, I am sure a moderator will help you out. Smile

Hi there.
Does this thing always happen to you? When and where exactly does it happen? And does restarting the game fix it?

allso, show us your hpl.log file and try to delete settings.cfg (or config.cfg) in my documents/episode 1

I don't know when it started, but it's most starting to effect me at the chase with the

Spoiler below!

When I start a new game, though, It still does this.Â Â The tech demo, however, works fine.

Does this lock-up occur for just a second? If so it could be a driver related issue. I had this error in Vampire: The Masquerade where I was walking and it continued walking for half a second, and when I DOWNGRADED my drivers I got it to work.

Perhaps this could apply here as well?

It usually lasts from a second to maybe 10. It seems kind of random.

Have you tried downgrading your video drivers?

Not sure what happened, but it looks like the problem has been fixed. Thanks.
