Rudder not responding bug

Hello,

 

I have had this bug several times in the past.

Today it wanted to kill me again.

 

Here is the replay (last couple of minutes, just before the DD appears I was HOLDING A, yet the ship was turning right. Rudder was not jammed).

 

EDIT

- I don't use Q or E ever

- I don't have Collision avoidance system activated

- I don't use any cheap keyboard that has problems when multiple buttons are pressed (I am using Razer Ornata).

 

HOW I FIXED IT IN-GAME

Once I released A and pressed it again (and held it), the rudder started reacting ! The bug made me beach and eat torps :)

It happens when you open the chat to type and have set the rudder to turn with Q or E just before. The rudder indicator shows max rudder but the ship goes in straight line.

Its a real old bug but annoying as :etc_swear: when your rudder fails you at the wrong moment

Bit strange that they havn´t done anything about it in all the years ?

(maybe it is on the "not important" list like the RNG vs beached ships or the firing over islands bug)

Do you by accident have collision avoidance system on?

Cmon man .. ive been playing this since 2015 :) That was the first thing I turned off :)

I've experienced the same recently. At first I thought it was my keyboard or maybe my ping spiking but everything was normal.

Not sure if it also happens under different chat circumstances, I've had to 'reset' my rudder a few times as well before it would start responding again and I don't use Q and E either. I'm wondering if it's package loss of some sort.

Or maybe everyone's using the WASD hack so much their keyboards no longer respond optimally...  For the record, I'm using a (budget) mechanical gaming keyboard, which sometimes has difficulty registering fast key presses in the correct order. That could account for it in my case, but if we are looking for a general explanation... of sorts...

The UI shows me that the rudder is shifted, the ship still doesn't turn. this isn't an input issue

This is happening to me too. But in my case it's when I hold a button to turn, rudder get's disabled by hit, I repair it, but it wont react unless I let go of the keys and press them to turn again. Got killed two times by this already...

I'm not sure that's what happened in my cases, as I press repair near automatically in case of rudder disabling, but could indeed be that there's an interruption in steering needed for the client/server to realise that the old input is still valid.

Another example.

Before I died I was in smoke ... I HELD A (rudder completely on the left), yet the ship is turning RIGHT.

 

Do you guys take this bug reports seriously ????????

 

Forumites... can some of you guys check the replay, so one can confirm im not imagining? @DFens_666 maybe? Its my last smoke infront of Nurmberg. I tried escaping north, but my ship turned south.... my rudder was not out at the time (only few moments later, when I sailed out of the smoke like an idiot because of this).

Looked to me that u reversed with rudder to right preferably to turn away from Nurnberg when going forward but instead rudder was stuck to right and u turned towards it, had to reverse again etc.

Pretty sure WG just ignore this bug, I have experienced it many times since I got into this game 2017

I am not imagining right?

Because I had several games in the past month, where my ship doesnt do what it's supposed todo.... and in the end gets me killed...

 

Thnx for taking your time looking at the replay!

No, your not

U reversed with rudder to right with the pretty obvious intention of turning stern to Nurnberg

Next move u went forward to run/turn fully away from Nurnberg before smoke dissapated

You wanted to go left rudder but it was stuck right and there u were full broadside to Nurnberg with an island in front of u...

Game over..
