How do you keep moving forward while jumping of strafing left to right? I have to repress W every time this is not playable

[Mannekino]

Is there something wrong with the game? When I move forward and press jump for example Aloy doesn't jump forward. She just jumps straight up in the air. I have to press jump and then repress forward (W) immediately to have her jump forward. Also when I'm moving forward and press A or D to go left or right Aloy stops moving forward and I have to repress W again. This is completely unplayable, is this fixable? Can't find any settings about this.

Probably the game has issues communicating with whatever means of SOCD input cleaning method your keyboard uses.

Do you have the "double tap to dodge" on? That might effect some things, in regard to direction input.

I tried disabling this but it didn't change anything. I literally can't play this game right now :(. Now idea what to do. Maybe test another keyboard. I have a Corsair K65 Rapidfire.

Don't know if this will assist you - I had to press w Lshift and jump together - the only hassle with that is that Aloy will fall frequently off ledges, buildings, but I too had the one position problem; she is prone to somersaulting when not required - I have the same problem with overdrawing a bow - she just somersaults forward. I have completed the game though even with her momentum issues on pc/kybd/mouse

Easy fix. play it with a controller as it was build for

I'm on PC and play with keyboard and mouse. I still haven't found a solution and close to asking for a refund. It's unplayable :(

Examples.

When I'm walking forward and I press SHIFT she completely stops and doesn't start running. If she is still and I press SHIFT and then W she starts running. It's like every other keypress stops her movement with the WASD keys.

Is this the way the game works or is bugged for me? This is not how it worked with Zero Dawn.

I've tested another keyboard and no issues with that one. Just some cheap wireless Logitech set.

Have you checked in Accessibility settings to make sure the toggles for these actions are turned off?

I also tested with another Corsair keyboard I laying around (K68) same issue. I then uninstalled iCUE and now both keyboards are working well. I will try to reinstall iCUE and see what happens. Seems to be some bug with the Corsair driver perhaps?
