Holding down Shift disables player movement using arrow keys (2.0.25)

Post by JoyL72 »

First-time poster, hope I got the bug report format right:

What did you do & what happened?
  • Tried to move using arrow keys while Shift was down, for the purpose of firing rockets.
  • Under both MacOS 14 Sonoma and Windows 11, holding down Shift disabled player movement using arrow keys. Player movement using WASD keys was unaffected.


What did you expect to happen instead?

We expected Shift to leave player movement unaffected.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always in version 2.0.25.

Why report this?
We kept flubbing combat and getting our engineers killed because of it.

Thanks for the report. This is due to existing conflicting hotkeys with "move blueprint entities" up/down/left/right. You can un-bind or re-bind them if you want to continue using the arrow keys for movement.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
