Having this issue with Watch Dogs on PC. For some reason, whenever I am walking forward (W is pushed in) and open my phone (right click) at the same time, the character continues to run forward even after closing the smartphone. The W key is unpressed and my hands are off the controls.
This also applies to left right back side, as demonstrated in the video I'm uploading (will post link soon). If I have a key pressed in then do something with the mouse, all hell breaks loose and the key continues to be activated no matter what.
The only way I can make it stop is by manually pressing the 'stuck' key again. Before suggestions of issues with my keyboard, the key isn't physically getting stuck, it's just the game not registering me 'unpressing' it.
What causes this? Very annoying. I'm baffled.

EDIT:
Many thanks to RatOfDeath later in this thread. A fix has been found for AMD users. The issue is caused by the Raptr Gaming Evolved app which is installed when you install AMD 14.6 unless you untick it during custom installation. Closing, or if you don't use it, uninstalling this app fixes this issue and returns controls to normal.
I wish I could help you buddy. I'm infuriated by the poor controls in this game. Mouse movement is floaty, being shortly unresponsive and then kicking in with overly-high sensitivity. I feel like I'm breathing down Aiden's neck, they have me SO close and cropped up onto his shoulder (ie, hey cameraman, BACK THE F*CK UP!), which probably has to do with the lack of FOV (an Ubisoft tradition). And I cannot count how many times I have to take my hand off the ASD position to press ENTER or some other stupid button (like the arrow keys) just to navigate the on-screen menu system.
And worse of all is the map. Swinging my mouse wildly to one side results in moving the cursor maybe a couple city blocks. I have to swing the mouse, pick the mouse UP, move it back over, swing again, over and over. Maybe 4-5x total to get me to sweep across the whole map. Imbecilic. This shows GROSS ineptitude on Ubi's part (another Ubi tradition).
Urgh I know the feeling. Especially the map thing. I've resorted to using my PS3 controller now, I'm sick of stupid little niggles. If my fingers are in a fine position on the keyboard, WASD, why do I have to use the arrow keys to navigate the smartphone menu? Who on Earth thought of that? Going to try fiddling around with some settings and see if I can sort it out, may be to do with conflicting keyboard drivers etc.Originally Posted by braiog Go to original post
Thanks anyway Bud, let's hope it's sorted soon...
Edit: On second thought, have a try of that yourself... See if you can hold W to move forward and open the smartphone at the same time, then let go of W and see if Aiden keeps on running forward...

Not sure what causes it. I thought it was my Logitech key macros and I was fat fingering. Glad to see I'm not crazy, cause this is happening to me too. It sucks when you're in a firefight and you just start running into a wall or running right at them.Originally Posted by PhilBoyd Go to original post
The whole point of playing on a PC is to use the keyboard and mouse instead of a controller. The controls on the PC version are just awful. Besides the above mentioned sticky key problem, there is not way to control a vehicle with a mouse. I have never played a game on the PC that did not allow mouse movement for steering. Worse there is no way in the customize controls to enable mouse movement for steering.
Oh and devs. I know you enjoy your controllers and all but it is not WASD it is QWES, A and D are for strafing, not steering. At least I can fix this misconception in the control settings, but the only way to drive a vehicle seems to be with a controller, which defeats the whole purpose of a PC version.
Keyboard and mouse controls were obviously slapped together at the last minute and not tested very well. Waiting patiently for a patch for this.
You can add me to this list also i'm getting exactly the same issue with movements as shown in video.
This also happens after aiming with weapon suddenly Aiden starts forced moving and i can't stop it.
And i know Ubi guys wants to know if joystick or any other game controller is connected and my answer is NO just Logitech keyboard and Logitech G5 mouse.
Edit: I don't know about you guys, but when playing in online mode i just confirmed that my stuttering/lagging starts roughly around 30min mark.
BTW thanks for making this video was just about to make own also.Originally Posted by PhilBoyd Go to original post
