Basic Attack auto-selecting
Hey all, don't know if it's just me, but is anyone else finding Basic Attack taking it upon itself to select itself after performing an action? For example Midnight Oil -> You're now aiming basic attack instead of movement.

Had a tinker and couldn't really figure it, but personally it's incredibly irritating failing to notice it then randomly attacking the ground instead of moving because you missed it enabling and didn't manage to cancel action before trying to input a movement command.

Could we have it like DoS1 where regular swings/attacks are performed by clicking the target and not as an action that the game selects for you as if it's a spell.

It shouldn't be auto selected, but Basic Attack is in the first skill slot by default, so hitting 1 can activate it, or holding Left Ctrl will also force attack. Perhaps the state of Ctrl is getting stuck? In the first case you should be able to right click or hit Esc to cancel, and in the second hit Left Ctrl to reset it.

I am seeing this bug too, and it's really irritating. Every time I attack, my game switches into auto-attack. I have to press ctrl to undo this. This is really disruptive to the game, as I have to press ctrl at the start of every single character turn during combat. :steamsad:

Seeing this bug as well, on both of my computers (playing co-op with fiancee).

Doesnt seem to be linked to any state of a key being pressed or stuck on.

this bug is quite annoying and can lead to some very bad results

Just finished a fight, character had 2 hp left, went to select that characters portrait, only the character that was selected, was in attack mode, and shot her with her wand, killing her.

Needs to be fixed.

I did that yesterday (luckily didn't actually kill Lohse, but she wasn't happy).

I suppose it has to defaul to something.

Any dev update on if this is something they can reproduce? Happens multiple times to both me and my fiancee each play session

Me and my sweetie have to remind each other to "right click" at the end of every battle. I think it kind of equates to 'okay, take a breath and sheathe your weapon'. or something similar.
